Thats what I thought, but the address and phone number match up with the sign in the background of the picture. Dunno if I lived in VA i might go a take a look at it but not from FL.

I just don't like that the seller sounds like a dick, isn't making any effort to give more info about the car, and I'm sure it's in need of far more than a tune. Being how it's modified how it is, and has had nitrous run in it, I don't think it's worth the $20k he's asking.

seems pretty sketchy. i guess its worth taking a look at but it seems to me how the add is, its needs more than just a tune.

Yeah but if the tranny is could the motor isnt knocking. A tune is minor stuff to fix if it has a aem already in it..

Im just curious about it and wonder if there is anyone in that area to go by and check it out...

Even though this may be a good buy-MAY be a good buy, heres what this thread told me, and should have read:


"I have an Evo on my used car sales lot. I think this car is going to have a bidding war over it, so I'm going to make sure I don't waste my time with the twelve dozen 16 year old kids that are going to come ask for a test drive. For all of these reasons, I can substitute good selling etiquette for downright obnoxious behavior, because no matter what-these cars sell themselves"


What he doesn't realize that the car would probably have major interest from a serious buyer already, if he didn't word the text as he did.

I personally would've considered looking at it, but Im not close enough to warrant it, and it's a big turnoff.

qouted from someone on the board about the car "its got 0 compression and I think the turbo is seized, at least it was when I saw it in August. terrible craftsmanship on everything in the engine bay".
