While this car isn't 100% stock, it could easily be made stock with minimal money and labor.
That said, the supply of; for sale, stock-ish, ultra low mileage, Evo VIII's in the entire country is exactly one. So yeah, we're asking WAY over a normal price for it.

I wasn't saying that you won't get what you are asking for it, you probably will. I was more suggesting you guys should have returned it to stock before asking that much money for it was all. You can still make things right lol. Put the stock exhaust back on the car and undo whatever was done. Flash it with a stock rom and you'll sell that thing in a week.

Also, given that it is a 2003 VIII and has had the ecu molested at some point I would be very interested in knowing whether or not periphery2 FCA bits 4 and 5 are zero'd out at this point I guess it doesn't technically matter but that would tell me a lot about the previous owner and also the dealership it is currently at right now. But in all fairness you can get a REALLY NICE used IX for $25k, so.......

If it was stock and the person had more money then sense I can see it going for that much believe it or not. The only issue the seller has is now there's a thread saying its not stock. That's really going to hurt the final selling price. I'm trying to tell you if you're going to ask astronomical numbers for a car just because its low mileage (its not exactly rare unfortunately) and its only attribute is that it IS low mileage that it should at least be stock because the kind of person that is going to spend that much money on that kind of car is NOT going to do it if its been molested. But what do I know. Seller, you have to let us know when you sell it and let us know the final selling price if you don't mind. Thanks!! And glws.

IMO, only a collector would pay such a high price for an VIII. a collector isn't going to want it modified. in fact.. any collector i know wouldn't want an Evo in the first place. the only people that get excited over a low-mileage Evo are Evo enthusiasts. as such, no enthusiast is going to pay that much for an VIII. nobody buys these things to collect/store/look at. it's not like we're going to see one on Barrett Jackson or anything.
if i had $10k to put down, it would be on something else, i can promise you that.
