When I was looking for evo ppl wanted gold for them. But when you get one you'll appreciate that the price says up. Evo hold their value well. For a 03 evo you can buy at 12 genesis coupe. That's a huge year and miles difference. The car isn't a everyday vehicle like a civic is. They are harder to come by and more rare than a si. Now that they are no longer making them expect the prices not to drop anything soon. A 03 terminator cobra sells for 20k. It's a rarer car. Same as supra, rx7. They are harder to come by. In a unmolested condition is even more rare.

 

Is it safe to say that the evolution hold their value in the private party value? Because the books give them low prices.

 

^ no nada has them valued pretty good.

 

people ask more than what kbb,edmunds,nada gives them...thing that I've noticed with the owners is that they don't want to understand that you will never get back the money you spent in mods etc...

 

The evo is a niche car, and its a sellers market.

 

yup which is why I would like to join the club...I like cars that maintain their value

 

Nor and evokid, hope you guys find ones in good shape, taken care of, and owners whom arent dicks. lol I am on the opposite side of this. I am only locally trying to sell my 9 MR atm (craigslist, still I guess debating if I wanna let her go). I have had numerous texts lowballing the #@%* out of me, offering trades which I'm not looking for, and the like. I did have one serious fellow, but he up and disappeared. Par of the course I guess since its craiglist but I get a kick out of it. Would love for you guys to check my girl out but kinda outta your price point. Good luck tho!

 

I think14K for a rebuilt Evo is fair, but with these cars you get what you pay for. My car only has 20K mils on it and if I ever sold it I wouldn't take anything less than 32K, but then again mine looks show room new.

 

the guy is supposed to be bringing the car to me today...I'll check it out and let you guys know how it goes...

 

does anyone know the difference between a reconstructed title and a rebuilt? for registering purposes what's the difference? it's a Texas reconstructed title and I'm trying to register in Florida...I've had rebuilt title before but never heard of reconstructed...has it passed inspection with this title and would it be a normal registering process?

 

Just be patient and you will find the Evo you want. I am another SRT4 owner and I love my Evo. SRT was a good bang for the buck (stage 3 340hp) but spinning my tires everywhere got old. I ended up building my 2.4 right after buying mine and I love it.

 

well I got a good deal going but I want to know what reconstructed is...is it the same as rebuilt? Maybe in Texas they say reconstructed instead of rebuilt?

 

well guys i got an evo...car came with a trunk full of goodies...have a bunch of uninstalled parts which im thinking of selling to fix the tranny...i have brand new ets t3 manifold, aem ems, aem fuel rail, hks timing belt, hks headgasket, hks balance shaft belt, 850cc injector, fpr, a whole brand new in box sealed supertech valve train (valves, spring, retainers, seats, valve guide seals, etc), some tow hooks, arp head studs...ill post up pics tomorrow...the manifold currently installed on the car now has some cracks...i really want to install this ets manifold but ill need a different turbo and wastegate and thats more money...car has an evo 9 turbo on it supposedly...do you guys have any suggestions as to an affordable turbo i can buy so i can use this manifold etc...money is a bit tight which is why i was thinking of selling everything but that little bug is getting to me lol...man i want to make love to that ets manifold wow...

 

Sounds like a nice find with some bonuses. Nice work nor and welcome to the family! Which turbo to go for is out of my wheelhouse but in for a build thread since you have been smitten by "that" bug.

 

I guess the goodies made it all worth it haha, congrats man.
