Anyone can tell you anything as far as what happened to the car.You should ask for some type of documentation as far as repairs or even a police report.

car is trashed! dont do it. mods were most likely taken off and sold. Oil from head gasket is not fun.

You will eventually end up with thousands in repairs and absolutely hate the evo because of it.

All you need is a dealer who looks at the suspension mods and bingo...no warrenty...Now you get to flip the bill for the repair on top of the 15k you just spent for the car....

^depends on the dealer, but i'd say 75% of the time, yes.

The dealer will probably find any way to get out of a warranty....

The leaky head gasket would be a major turn-off for me...unless you are planning to mod the hell out of it in the very near future.
