Lol yeah I see an expensive exhaust mani and an ewg that's def not a stock turbo. If he can verify all the work and maintance for the car and he hasn't beaten on it I'd say go for it. There's prolly the almost ad muxh in parts as ehat he's asking for the car.

Find out if AMS Performance did any work on the car, tuned, etc?. Shop is in the location of the seller and looks like he probably bought a lot of parts from them.

I can say, with high confidence, that this car would be a huge money pit regardless of any of the details.

Definitely sketch, read the thread titled "why do evo owners lie when trying to sell their car".

GSX looked nice though, I'd go for that one if you were down with possible headaches here and there and if everything checked out.

prolly because they embarrassed they messed up their car and are having to pawn off their mistakes on someone else. My first one was way messed up (bought used to save money) ended up looking up repair history and found a lot of dealership warrantee fixes. I ended up trading it in on a new EVO VIII and haven't looked back. Currently mine has 180k miles and still runs strong.
