I'd turn that Down. I'd rather keep my car haha some of us put 25k in mods alone in our cars so that's sort of insulting. value isn't only based on what people are willing to pay, but also what sellers are willing to accept.

So that EVO you put 25K into is probably worth a negative 3-4K to me.

Take it to RRE for a PPI. I promise you it will be worth it.

Less miles = more time to enjoy.

"If you aren't going to drive it..."

Who the fack buys a cheap performance car to NOT drive it LOL. If you aren't going to drive it, buy something you will, unless you are rich enough to start a collection...in which case, an Evo IX isn't exactly a collector car.
😁

P.S. unless you have a friend who does paint and body work, that bit of damage may be pricey.
$25k MAX

Agreed!

If your going to modify get it clean and cheap because all those parts will require refresh, rebuild or change anyway.

If you are never going to modify it and basically keep it as a stock daily second evo or something of the sort then get a cheaper buy in.

Car is in very good condition...has one curb rash-esque scratch that's about 1 inch near the drivers side wheel well and a faint scratch on the roof. Don't want to post pictures in fear of someone finding and buying... Blue book value is like 21k....obviously 23k mile IX's aren't common by any means...what would you say is a fair price?

Just as a reminder, that powertrain warranty is only applicable toward the original owner.

I would expect the car to still have the OEM tires at 25k miles. Plus these Michelins are already worn a bit too. Check the peddles inside, and the steering wheel. They should have 0 wear at 25k miles.
