Do Not Buy This Evo!!!

Dont know if this is the right section to post in but here is the link.

http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.js...e=&cardist=220



Please don't buy this car. It says its stolen recovery. Well maybe it was stolen off of the tow truck that was outside my house taking this car away. i was the previous owner of this car and had a little mishap which ended in a totalled car.
Just to let anyone know who was thinking of buying this car, here are some things that need work:

New Front Bumper
New Rear Bumper
New Left Side Skirt
New Right Side Skirt
New Intercooler
New LICP
Possibly the Right Quarter Panel
Roof was buckled during the accident
Needs a new tranny, because it has a hole in it
Transfer-Case might be bad as well
Possible frame damage
All suspension needs to be changed
Wheels are mostly trashed

Plus all the labor. I wouldn't buy it for even $6K and he's asking 13.5?

Please i hope no one buys this as it would cost **** load of money to get it fixed. Just wanted to let u guyz know.

Not a horrible deal for someone looking to lowball the guy and build a track/rally car. In that case get a dent puller and don't worry about the body/paint

The possible frame damage would be my biggest worry.

The reason i say possible frame damage because roof has some buckling in it, the car sits lower on one side, and the crossmember is crooked as well.

looking at the pics from the seller, it looks like that the trunk is buckled a little too.

Yes once again the wing was left untouched.
