Premium Unleaded

I've owned this Evo since it was new in 2006. It has been an excellent and reliable (and fun!) daily driver. But I'm selling to get something a little more family friendly - a song as old as time. I've always run premium fuel and used either Mobile 1 or Royal Purple for oil changes. I'd have no reservations about using this car as a daily driver for years to come. I'm going to try to list all the negative things I can think of below so the buyer has no surprises. Most issues are the cosmetic issues of a 10-year daily driver.. Mechanical ConditionPositive: -The drivetrain is performing as good as day one. The engine is quite responsive, building boost and delivering it to the tires without hesitation or slippage. Everything you'd expect from an Evo.Negative: -The active center differential lights all turn on after a few minutes of driving. From what I can tell, the ACD settings still change because the individual light respond to input after a cold start. I don't know whether this is a mechanical or electrical issue, but I will say that this has NO effect on the feel of the drive.-Shocks are a bit worn. There's some "clunking" when going over rough spots or up/down inclines at an angle.-The idle is a bit low at times. From what I've read it may be the EGR valve or solenoid acting up. Car has not stalled and it does not affect performance. Cosmetic ConditionPositive:-The interior has been kept clean. It's a daily driver, so frequently used buttons, elbow rest, etc. show signs of wear. I'm not a smoker, so there's no smoke damage or smell.-Suede seats, and CF trim around dashboard still look nice.Negative:-Damage to the front bumper/air dams (partially missing). This was not from a crash, but from backing up while turning, the bumper caught on some stumps and almost ripped it off. So the skid plate is now missing as well as some of the lower ground-effect details. There's also some holes from the plastic rivets popping off.-Damage to the hood/paint: Gravel damage - chips and small dings. Living in the country...-Rust spots on rear wheel wells: Midwest roads - salt and gravel seem to like that spot.-Faded paint/patch job on rear passenger door: The car was backed into while parked, and the damage was isolated to the passenger door. The paint job done afterwards has faded.-Faded door handles: Looks like the paint on the plastic doesn't hold up as well as on the metal.-A spot of peeling clear coat on the trunk, rear bumper.-A spot of peeling clear coat on the carbon fiber of the rear wing.-Bent "n" on the "Evolution" trunk badge. Caused by a bike rack.-Scratches on gas cap cover. The gas cap release latch stuck and had to be pried open.-Faded red paint on the brembo brake calipers.-Some peeling and crud on the wheel spokes. Other misc stuff, full disclosure -The hot/cold dial for the climate control is kind of stiff. It still work for adjusting the temperature, but is oddly hard to move.-The middle child seat anchor bracket is missing.-The A/C needs to be recharged soon.-I got a letter from Mitsubishi that a control arm needs to be replaced, but that parts are unavailable. This will be done for free by Mitsubishi, so I'll pass along the letter for reference.-Also, please note that this car is still being driven on a daily basis. The mileage upon delivery will be slightly higher (~150 miles if I had to guess) than the listed mileage. The oil was changed on 10/6/16 If I think of anything else, I'll be sure to add it here. Minor modifications made:-Megan fabricated tube headers-High-flow exhaust from O2 housing back-Injen cold air intake (w/K&N cone filter)-Large rear sway bar with Whiteside ball joints-Short throw shifter
