is this worth it?

I am looking for a new car to upgrade to that has a turbo installed and i came across an evo online. Im somewhat unfamiliar with this car and was curious to see if the cost of the car was worth it considering the amount of work done on it and was unsure of the value.
here is the link http://www.carsales.com.au/private/d...1&sort=default

haha nope, there are plenty of other evos that have been built leagues better for the same amount of money. Just take a look at some of the cars speed element churns out and usually someone is parting with their ride. I do remember them having a blue one being heavily modded and about the same price.

Idk know anything about the Australian market, so it may or may not be a good deal. But before buying the car based on price, you should really research the car and determine if it's a good fit for you. There's alot of research to be made before purchasing an evo, and you should be well prepared before you start your search. Good luck with your purchase, and your in the right place to find all the info you need about this car.

Well I know this particaular car has been on carsales for over half a year. So I'm going to say it's either overpriced or no-one has shown interest in it yet. Maybe if you could get it for closer to the 25k mark, it would be worth it. Also I'm in the Gold Coast area, maybe sometime soon I'll see another evo around :P

Cars are more expensive outside of the USA. I paid 28k for my IX (in NZ) and that was a really low price. IXs are currently going for 35k+ here. Stock VIIs are around 20kish in good condition.

i think that's kinda on the high side for an evo 7. However, i'm not sure what the market is like for evos in Australia, maybe you should search around for other evos and see what prices those are going for. Best of luck
