Opinion on this evo

Hey guy i am looking to get into an evo, this guy posted one recently and it seems like something is shady about it, he seems like a honest guy, but i just don't know.

Daniel Buschur is selling a fully built VIII for $15K, Nick just placed the add. If I was getting into an EVO, I'd be all over this.

Definitely not. Especially not for $13.5K! Too many issues for that price.

Not only the history, but different color body panels = most tacky thing you could have on a car, steer clear of that one

Sounds like he is trying to ship the car which in craigslist lingo means "scam"

No dude, you can find a clean title no issue one for less than that.

you can also get a VIN on the car, would be the easiest way to find out why it has a bad title and if you google the VIN, it will show up on auto auction sites, which is most likely where it's from and he's trying to flip it. notice the car doesn't have plates, meaning he either took them off (unlikely), or he bought it from an auction as they usually will never come with plates. if he'd bought it used or he owned it, the plates would still be on it

It has stay away written all over it, if you look hard enough there are some amazing deals in the marketplace on EvoM.

Stay away from that "shipped" stuff. Embarrassed to say, but I learned that the hard way back in 2004.

I would stay away from it as well, not an amazing deal for all the work that would be needed to make it perfect and the time it sounds like you would have to spend to get it titled correctly. Plus at the end of the day it still has a salvaged title.

Would like to hear more about this, as I have heard of some serious horror stories.
