Like the title says, I'm looking for an Evo as my first turbo car. What kind of mileage or condition of the car should I expect to get for 15k? And beside this forum, where should I look if I want to find a good deal? Thanks in advance.

 

I got mine for 13k with 69,000 miles clean title very clean car so just shop around and you will find a deal

 

Same here new to the scene and have the same budget . Hoping to walk away wl something decent and no abused !

 

Nice find. I'm hoping to find a similar deal. I would like to the car's price and tax to be around 15.

 

I paid $16.4k at a big dealership for my 03 with 33k miles last summer, never modded, one previous owner, only thing wrong with it was faded clear coat on the wing.

I think 15k could get you a great 03 if you're capable of going private party. I know not everyone is because private party can get tricky and complicated if you're getting a loan.

As far as where to look, I found mine on Autotrader. It's a nice place to start at least.

 

craigslist.com...all you need to know.

Or buy mine $14.5k

 

You can find a good one for 15k just keep your eyes open. I bought mine for 11k with 33k miles 1 owner. Had intake and exhaust thats about it.

 

Sometimes on craigslist I see some going for 12k. My friend got one a few months back for 10k with 100,000 miles on the clock.

 

craigslist. if your looking more than your local area try crazedlist. its craigslist on steriods lol checks any and every city you want

 

There will be very good cars for around $15k, but need to be patient and look out for the right one. Be prepared to walk away as many times as it takes. I know there should be good one like my 2003, 75k miles single owner car which is immaculate and so reliable. Unfortunately mine is not for sale.

 

No matter what price the Evo is, have it check out for excessive abuse, under body damage, as will as cheap body work.

 

15k should get you a very nice low mileage 03-04, or a nice 05-06 with around 60-80k, just make sure to shop around

 

You really think it's possible to find an 06 for less than 16k with that mileage range, besides on auction (which is where I will also be looking when I'm ready)?

 

I can't guarrantee but I'm sure if you look enough it can be found, just picked up my 1 owner very clean 05 for $17000 with 60k, and that was from a dealer,so private party I'm sure its possble

 

Yeah seems like you may have been a bit eager like I am lol.. That's a bit on the high side of what I'd be willing to pay for an 05 8 with 60k. If you think about it, the person that traded your car in was probably working out a deal with the dealer for another car. They most likely only recieved between 13-14k for it as trade in value.
