Picking up a Evo 8 tomorrow.. Lots of Pics

Its black with 32k miles. Stock besides an intake. It's an 03. Only thing visually wrong with the car is the spoiler clear coat is peeling, but to my understanding that's an Evo thing..

Asking price is 20k. Trading in my Cobalt (taking some mods off tonight..) they're giving me $11k for the Cobalt with 41k miles.

They said it's a Mitsubishi buy back because of a bad tranny or something. He said Mitsubishi fixed it. Has brand new tires on it..

Opinions??

Here are a few pictures

I always get compliments on my car...I mean Evo's are sexy, period.

But what really gets them is the boost

Girls went crazy over your Cobalt? Must be a North Carolina thing. If they went crazy over your Cobalt they should go super crazy over your black Evo... I'm thinking I'm going to come there sometime.

Girls asside, I always got compliments on the Evo (with the occasional stupid remark). Even had one older guy who doesn't know much about cars at all and who designs really nice wooden furniture for a living tell me it was the best looking car he's seen.

Yes. But you should be worried about the fact that it is a used car. And a used Evo. It's all a game of chance my friend.
