I would put it up in the air and check for more damage, looks like it hit something pretty good in the front...might have a bent subframe or such. But that's a sad looking Evo, but expect to put some money into it.

A good daily driver?? Nah....an older accord would fit that bill much better. This car would make a great platform for a dedicated track machine though.

Get the body structure checked out to see if it is torque from any unmentioned accidents; if its off, its not worth the hassle; i am stating this based on the front right bumper being cracked that bad.

not bad on the outside, but for that price something else's gotta be wrong.

That is one beat up evo, thats not even "fair" condition IMO. 10k, thats where I would start. A good paint job and bumper is around 3k, not to mention the other problems with it.

It looks like a city parked car to me. I see tons of high dollar cars with those bumps and bruises. It seems like a good deal if you don't mind the damage.

Do a compression check and take it out for a test drive. Listen to the drive train and check it out completely. I would jump on it!

looks kinda beat up...maybe something cheaper and more gas efficient would be more practical here since you're just looking for a DD.
