guys im lookin at this evo this guy is selling i just wanna get your opinions, should I look for anything, what should i pay for it ect.
2006 evo mr 130k
fmic, bov, intake, the rest is stock
hes askin $18,500 but he said the lowest he will take is $16k

 

Car is lowered in those pics also appears to have mismatched headlights but that may be the pic.

 

is that a bad sign? cuz here in FL everybody drops there cars, personally my cars arent im not a fan

 

No not necessarily . Just may be a harsh ride depending. Just pointing it out by the mods you listed

 

Personally I think his asking price is high

 

I think the headlights might be the same, but the angle does give it a different look. If it is different, then it may have been hit.

Looks like an aftermarket AC fan. Any engine bay pics?

What springs is it lowered on?

Any service records? It should be on it's 3rd timing belt job. NBD as long as the Tbelt was done within the last 60K miles.

Not a bad deal. What are your plans with it? If you're going to build the engine/drivetrain then I wouldn't let the high mileage bother you.

 

Carfax

 

its clean the autochech and carfax is clean no accidents, my plans are to do a few mods cams, exhaust, injectors, tune...to play around with it once in a while its not gonna be my DD its mostly gonna be garaged

 

got no engine bay pics guys, springs i plan on puting stock springs ill find some on CL or something

 

maint. he say the clutch and timing belt was replaced at 100k....im mostly scared about the miles, what is the car worth to you guys?

 

Take it to a shop and do a leakdown test and/or compression test if you want peace of mind. Hope 6 speed has not been abused. Theres a thread on what to look for when buying an evo.

 

$16k for 130k miles? Paaaaass

 

Lol only bov and FMIC? Why would anyone do only those mods!? Lolz

 

+1

Also I personally think 130K miles on your first Evo, let alone an MR is way too much. If the price is an issue, get an 8 with lower miles for 16-18K.

 

Around here $16k is about right. For $18500 I'd expect a good 20-30k less miles on it though.

Which brings up the pricing. Why the hell do people say "I'm asking 18500 but the lowest I will take is 16000" ? You might as well say "well the price you are not going to pay me is 18500 and the price I have already settled for and need to be talked below is 16000".
Who the hell is going to hear that and say OK HERE IS 18500 THEN ?
Seriously, when people say crap like that I purposefully don't buy from them on general principle.
