O5 Black 9K miles warranty a cigarette burn on the driver's seat and a scratched tail light. 24.5K

05 Black 10K miles warranty 2'' scratch by door, scuffed rim not dented, small hair scratch on front lip 23.75K

Both are about 850 miles away. One is at a dealer one is a private party, carfax's check out on both.

 

I would go with the one without the burn mark on the seat. That burn will only get worse over time and crap will start falling out.

 

i get the 1st one...u can always change out the seat...and about the taillight...u can change that too..to evo7 tails or mr!!! i know i couldnt stand looking at scratches

 

go with the one with the older previous owner...

 

Mine.

Done.

 

I agree with that..look for the one that looks like it MAY have not been beaten on or mistreated as badly.

 

A local bodyshop said $300 to sand, respray, clearcoat, buff the 2 scartches. The rim? No fix.

We'll see.

 

In reality they are about the same. If it were a easy pick I would not have had to post the question.

 

Go for the one at the dealer. In my experience there is a lot of trust needed for a private party sale. When I sold my old car private party the only reason it worked was because it was my friend buying the car. He actually had to write a check to pay off the loan and the DMV wouldn't let him register the car until I signed the title over. He couldn't insure the car without registration. Of course I didn't get the title until the car was payed off. So he paid off a car that he didn't technically own. Like I said it required a lot of trust. Maybe all states aren't like this but this is what the FL DMV required.

 

BTW why can't I find an '05 in Florida at a dealer for less than 25. I think FL is over priced for EVO's. There are a bunch I have seen but none really close by.

 

go with the one from the dealer. if anything goes wrong at least you have a business to hold acountable and not an individual. also you might be able to work some body repairs ect into the deal. i also wouldnt want a car thats been smoked in.. but hey thats just me
