I've seen a couple of stolen evo's com in to our dealeship.
But just the let you guys know I heard through the grape vine that most people who get a car stolen usually can't afford the payments. That's why there's GAP Ins. Trust me it is not very easy to steal a car with an anit-theft unless you have a tow truck (Unless the idiot left his keys in the wrong hands). Think about it, what would be the easiest way of getting rid of a car that you can't afford without skyrocketing you insurance rates.

I'd probably buy it at the price its at now like 5k maybe, once the car is messed up like that and its repaired the overall structure of the car just insnt the same, God forbid I get into another accident

Looks like it might be a nice base for a track car if you could get it for 5k. Just pull out the carpets, headliner, doorpanels and other interior bits. Sell what you can on E-Bay. Then weld in a full cage. Put in some proper racing seats, pick up a set of light wheels, and patch up the body work. Maybe 5-10k on top of the purchase price.

Yeah, your gonna need to buy OEM equipement to make sure it passes State Patrol first before you start your journey.

Not really. I was talking about a track-only Evo that would be trailered to and from events. Wouldn't need to register, inspect, or insure it. Nor would you really care that it had a salvage title.

the bronx. haha. that motor looks ok but you'd be naive to think its not blown. same for the transaxle and transfer, most likely dead or near dead. i wouldn't pay 6k.

also notice the "ding" on the trunk lid, its hard to see because its in the middle of a huge ****ing dent.

if you actually think about how much is still on that car $$$ wise. The engine is brand new, the tranny is brand new, the drivetrain is brand new. I mean just a brand new t-case alone is close to 2K. think about....having an extra evo engine around.
