Then other one is just a stock evo 9 with also 41,000 miles for 17,900. Seems the price for a nice evo keeps going up

so i might have to get one with a salvaged title.

Walk away.....

Sometimes people get real lucky with a salvaged title. A friend of mine bought a 300ZX for $8000. It originally had flood damage. He got over 5 years out of it with no major problems and sold it for $6,000. With my luck though, I'd never buy one.

Very true... even with good evos you never know what you're gonna get. I bought one with a t.case and transmission that were on their way out and had to come up with $3k 2 weeks later to get them replaced

. Be careful cause it could end up being a HUGE money pit.
