Holy Crap He's Joking Right?!
I wouldnt sell my evo for less then 35k. Some of us have a lot of money into our cars. You guys may not see it because your used to evos with minimal mods going for 15-20k but when you drop 75+k into a car like i have you need to recoup your losses. If you bought a like new evo with low miles and built it to the point he did or to even the point i have. Youll pay out quite a bit more then his asking price. I dont think his car is worth 75... But maybe 50. This is why people part out or return to stock prior to selling.
You can tell the guy is nutz because did you check out his brake disks? seriously?!!!!!! you can fit a golf ball through those holes

Modifications actually decrease value of the car to the general public. Take your highly modified low mileage Evo to a dealership and watch them insult you with how much they say its worth.
Doesn't matter how much you spent on it. Getting more then book value for your car is wishful thinking esp. with more and more Evo's getting cheaper and cheaper. You potential buyer for a somewhat niche car like this gets smaller and smaller.
Buyers that have the kind of cash to buy will no doubt be looking at more "virgin" Evo's to purchase for less and the fast and the furious crowd doesn't understand what it takes to build cars like these properly and will low ball you because they are applying their (insert cheap econobox car they modified on a shoe string budget).
your mileage may vary.
This dude obviously smokes rocks.

Just an odd observation:
Brand new Evo's in 2006 while I was stationed on Guam were going for 47-52K. But that's because they had to be shipped from JP to Cali, then CA to Guam so the import fee's, markups were crazy. I also saw a Nissan Frontier going for the same amount. It gets worse the on even smaller islands.
