They will be a vin tag on the front bumper cover if original. I'm guessing its not original since its also missing the emblem. Also, this owner must not be very knowledgable to put the license plate right in front of the intercooler.

Bull**** on the "commuter car" part and I would ask why so low of a price.

There's always a skeleton in every Evos closet.

10 bucks betting its been in a serious accident or a salvage/theft recovery vehicle.

wow checking out the picture again, it's missing the bottom plastic trays, that's no good sign... yeah, definatly check the car out, if you don't claim insurance / cop report , it won't show up there.

That's a good idea. This is probably one of those times when the naturaal look would be comforting

Good choice, take your time, there are plenty of evos to go around, car purchases is something you should really take your time!

Car looks clean, it's a nice price. But definitely look into it before buying it.

Cool deal I talked to the guy yesterday and it seemed that stuff just didn't add up. I will be passing on this one. Just too much going on for my taste.

Good idea to pass on this evo. Continue looking around and you'll find one.
