Car in very good condition
Overall the car is in very good condition especially since it is now about 14 years old. Only some small issues. The steering wheel was ripped up a bit and the bumper has some slight impact damage but nothing too serious. The only complaint I have is that the pictures displayed were just blurry enough to not make out these details from posted pictures. Other than that I think I got lucky with a car with only one reported owner and no accidents on record.

EVO X
I have had the pleasure of driving my new EVO X for the last 2 wks and it sure has been a blast. I Love the looks, handling, power and head turning it causes. Some just see a lancer, but those who really know, see it for what it truly is: one heck of a driving experience. I have owned BMW to RX8's and sedans/SUVs in between. It was a toss between the RX8 R3, 350Z, G37, MB or BMW. For the cost and driving fun I think it is a great value PLUS it seats 5 and I can take the kids and wife every blue moon to keep her content. I have not driven it hard (YET) due to its low mileage (got it with 50!) but can't wait to hit 1K miles. Interior is decent, not sure of the cloth arm rest. 21 again
Great Spors Sedan
After 1yr, still very happy with the purchase. Easily better than the STi which is more expensive. Did great through the winter. Always gets looks and continues to be fun to drive.
Happy buyer
I was worried about buyer remorse before I bought this car, but now that I have it, I'm glad I took the risk. I was planning to get a reasonable car, like an Acura or something, but figured you only live once, so I got the Evo. I have a perma-smile since I drove it off the lot. The few things I don't like, the driver seat is not very adjustable, the shifts into 2nd and 3rd are kind of clunky until the clutch warms up, the trunk is tiny (not big enough for golf clubs w/ sub, and no fold down seats for snowboard) and the road noise is loud on rough surfaces. The good, its sharp when you want it to be, and tame on your daily commute. All in all, not a bad daily driver, and fast.
Great Car but a few warnings
I've had my EVO for about 6 months, and there are two really annoying things about it: First the paint is super thin and scratches easily, after the first two repairs I've put clear bra on most of the car, so plan on spending $1000 or more on that, and do it before it scratches. (front, rocker panels, and trunk deck) Second the windshield is wafer thin. Mitsu did this to save weight. I got a minor chip in mine and the windshield split when trying to repair it. I'm replacing it with a standard lancer windshield which is thicker, but heavier. Anyway plan on spending another $350 on that.
