I was told the same thing. If you search the region forum, there are a couple of posts on experience there. There is another place near there that also sells Evo, not as much for selection though.

Found mine through modified autotrader 10 hrs away. 2 days later I'm taking out a loan. 3 days after that he's loading it up on an auto carrier to bring it to me. I don't regret it but then again giving a random person 18k for a car i've never seen in person was very risky and I probably wouldn't do it again. I had to wait 5 days from the time the driver picked it up to the time I got it. My finger nails were pretty much gone by the time it showed up haha

Dealer & I traveled way too far to get it.

Wish I would have waited a little longer but oh well.

My experience is in post 28.

For a shop that is supposed to be knowledgeable about Evos, they said my car was "bone stock" with a clutch, flywheel, aftermarket BOV (you could see it with the hood CLOSED) and aluminum engine mounts. Even when I asked them if the clutch was stock.

They are just another car dealership trying to buy cars cheap at auctions and make a nice profit. Nothing special, not an enthusiast dealership and not anyone I would recommend doing business with. It could have been a lot worse.

Found mine online at a dealer. I looked for about a week and luckily found exactly what I wanted. Bone stock with low miles. Bought it with 10,805 miles in 08. Drove 6 1/2 hours to Orlando, FL to get her and drove it back the same day. It was a great day! But if I bought another one I would look on here through PP.
