Do ya'll see this? Am I crazy??

Most likely the previous owner traded the seats for stockers to get some cash before selling it to the dealer. Same goes for the head lights and possible tail lights too and he put a tint film over it to cover it up. I was going to do this when a friend of mine was going to sell his car to Carmax but then someone contacted him and he ended up selling the car privately. He had the SSL package too!

oh yea, your gonna need a 60k service done on it as soon as you buy it...

funny that they are selling it as an MR, but they say it has a 5 speed transmission and GSR headlights
Ok...wait, so is it an MR? I thought it was...but yeah I mean I am patient, I really just want one before winter comes so I can have some fun.

How expensive is the 60k service for it?

Also theyr selling a handful more evo's at that dealership if you look at their inventory. If you guys would be kind enough to look... Also have an STi...

.....Just go for the STi.... This Evo was stripped and they put in GSR crap. The 6 speed is still there because of how the shifter looks. 5 speed and 6 speed shifters look very different.

I like STi's alot but I LOVE Evo's... Also the STI they have on the website has almost 70k miles on it... It is clean but hmmm...what a dick how he stripped out the seats and put the regular ones in their lol.

So yea how much should I ask to pay for this MR?

It's going to be hard to haggle them lower than $20k but $18k would be my offer for them. If they don't like it, just leave that Evo and look for another. Patience is also key. My friend wait months to get a decently priced Evo. It was only 50k miles and completely stock and he got it for $15k. In finding the perfect Evo, you will need patience.

Edit: Oh, and it's missing the antenna too. Not the biggest deal but if you want good reception on a radio, it is.

like( Piro Fyre ) said 18k is a fiar offer and i agree its a 05 mr minus all the goodies a mr has so 18 would be fair... plus since you dont even have fog lights witch is pretty dumb.

Srsly? Thanks man. Theres no pic of the motor tho. I wish I could at least see it. You dont think 65k miles is alot for a EVO? If its bones stock, which is better imo, how much would you pay for it?
