People dont like buying cars with mods on them. I would never in my life by a car that has meth in it, you have no idea who has been taking care of it.

+1. Just put back to stock. Sell all of your other stuff and combined you can get what you're asking for and possibly more.

This is very true i saw an evo around the corner where i live and it took 3 days and i saw someone with the paper plate on it. It really does sell faster stock. When i worked for the stealership, evos sold fast ,especially when posted on Autotrader, which most stealerships use.

AND the fuel costs. I am probably going to spend most of the time riding it down my hill in neutral.
Agreed. Evos are DROPPING in value, they are NOT a supra and never will be. The people on here that are asking 26k+ for an Evo IX GSR are fools...

I wish Evo's were cheap around here. IIIV's and IV's are selling for $26-$28k still and are only on the lots for a few days. When I was looking, everytime I saw a car for sale, it was gone by the time I called. The car I bought was only on the lot for 3 days and another Evo they had (which was sold) was only there for 4 days. I paid $27k for a mint 05' that was bone stock with 19k miles.

Sounds like a good deal.. i'd take it if i didnt have mine already.. just dont lower the price to much.. we got to keep theses things selling high!!! Ebay could be hit or miss.. Problem with Ebay.. no one wants to pay retail.. you'd be lucky to sell for 20-21k ..
BTW i would def take the meth kit off... and sell it to me!

It always comes down to price. It doesn't matter what mods, miles, or color your car is...people want the cheapest thing possible. If you're motivated to sell then you gotta take a hit on the asking price just to move the car faster.

Cash is king. Just like my econ professor said everyday in class.
