possibly another evo, input please--

Well im looking to get rid of my 2001 ford f350 lifted diesel with all the bells and whistles because i need a more fuel efficiant daily driver etc etc and I was offered this evo FOR MY TRUCK, and the reason i like it is because it seems unmolested, and good shape from the pics ive seen, it has 69K on the clock, and im just curious what anyone thinks, i havnt seen it in person, but im gonna inspect the hell out of it if i do haha

Hmm...make sure you get a dyno sheet and find out tuned it. Be thorough.

-COLD AIR INTAKE ------- this doesnt look like a cold air intake, just a cone filter on the MAF
-TURBOBACK APEXI RACE EXHAUST (LOUD AND SEXY) ------ catback with downpipe?
-MANUAL BOOST CONTROLLER
-HKS BLOW OFF VALVE
-VORTEX GENERATOR
-BOOST GAUGE -------- make sure this reads 23 psi at peak boost
-RED NEONS INSIDE THE CAR LIGHT UP FRONT AND REAR
-CARBON FIBER HOOD WITH HOOD PINS AND RED ACCENTS
-340G SHIFT KNOB
-ALPINE RADIO
-EXEDY STAGE 2 RACE CLUTCH -------- SD or HD?
-ACT PROLITE FLYWHEEL --------- i thought all exedy come with a flywheel so he switched it?
-20% TINT ON FRONT AND 5% ON REAR
-CUSTOM TUNE WITH 2 STEP (23PSI)

Looks good on the pictures.. You still gotta see it in person and inspect the car. Good luck man and let us know if you do end up trading!

Doesnt look like a deal to me. I would sell your truck and then buy whatever you want. I dont know... I am all about the numbers. If your KBB or Edmunds value is less than the value of the EVO it is a deal. Or it is not. That simple. Seems like little mods and kind of fugly cosmetic mods IMO.

yeah some great points were made, my truck doesnt bluebook as high as the evo, but i have around 10 grand in extra stuff

i looked at it today, the bodys straight, its very clean, it ran good(to me)

issues:
doesnt have 60k service
turning air on causes idle to lower
could possibly be beat up drivetrain wise??
