really hard to say because they buyer never wants to pay that much extra for aftermarket parts but the seller is saying well i cant go down too much because of all the extra parts on it, my suggestion is not to pay that much over KBB because ur honestly not suppossed to pay for aftermarkets

Hinckleydsm

Yea I understand that, thats why I want some numbers from members and see what they think

You will probably need to pay cash for the car because it is an older car, but if you can get financing, they will not give you much more than KBB, which is around $13-15k. I would not give him more than $18k or so..

This is a HEAVILY modified vehicle and will require a substantial amount of upkeep, please be warned if you've never owned a modified vehicle like this. It appears as if the original owner has selected a nice array of mods though.

Hinckleydsm

So you think 18-20k is fair?

I'd think 18-20k is fair with the mods. Considering car is mechanically sound ie. compression and leak down tests come back ok. At that level of mods though I would def get the shop that built it's info and contact them regarding their thoughts on car and seller.

That way suprises are cut down a bit

cool thanks guys this is all very helpful!

That guy has put alot of money into it. He pretty much bought the car twice. It really sucks that he won't be able to get anything close to what he invested in it. You can offer 15k-18k and not feel embarrassed. Just get a PROFESSIONAL to take a look at it because since its modding so heavy you could be getting into a lemon.

you should be real careful buying a car with that many mods. It could have been done right, just be prepared. This is also the first year for Evo's so i might stay away from it. But its your decision. I might suggest something alittle newer with less mods, make it your own.
