LOL at that price.

Technically it does not have the zero-lift kit as that would include the gurney flap on the wing. The vortex generator is also pointless.

My question is: why is there no wing? Seems strange someone would go through the trouble of swapping the trunk out and modify nothing else.

All the info = fishy to me.

Why not buy this one? $1,000 less. Kaj does this one look okay to you or fishy?

Someone just made a post about this car in Evo General, saying its the best deal in the world and I laughed http://www.xtreme-motorwerks.com/200..._228557448.veh

OP its pretty simple, any car in Chicago, just ask the dealer to take the car to Boostin Performance. Theyre like the #1 shop in Chicago. Or take it to Mitsu dealer if you trust them more. IDK much about strictly modified and their work. Have them do a compression test, have them do an inspection. Low mileage car like this, have them check the bolts on the engine bay to see if the car was modified and put back to stock.

If the dealer doesn't want to take it somewhere, then obviously theres a problem.

Nope, we are talking about the same evo. They buy all of their cars off of craigslist and ebay and try to convince you "they know everything about their cars". That one in particular I still have the ad for. Bought it for 24k, but they will tell you "they know everything". They know just as much as what's in the description in the eBay ad.

And yes 3 owners with 14k is a definite story. Especially when it's not the original hood and trunk. Who repaints a carbon fiber hood/trunk silver when they could have kept their original

Check the pic of the ad.

agreed, part of the info i was referring to. i'm going to guess some type of nasty rear-end collision. not a big deal, unless there is still damage that needs to be fixed. sounds like it's got something going on that nobody wants to deal with.

i wouldn't trust it, no way.

when i bought mine, the dealer let me take it to a shop of my choosing. i put it up on a rack, did a compression check, etc. i knew everything about the car before i bought it.. which is why i got a decent price on it. apparently, in CA, once the know about a problem, they have to disclose it to potential buyers. well, i found a few expensive ones.

Am I missing something here? Someone is talking about a hood getting painted and its carbon fiber? Hello? Theres pics of Every VIN sticker on the car on that link you posted... LOL I Forgot MITSU made carbon fiber hoods with VIN Stickers on them.... Really Scoobymr?

Come on guys, post accurate info... Theres a Pic of the VIN on the rear bumper = which means NO REAR END COLLISION? This website is becoming less and less reliable Kaj, would expect better from you, 1300 posts and u comment something like that. POST RELIABLE INFO...

Theres a picture of the actual WINDOW STICKER on the website link you posted. It clearly states it has the Zero Lift Kit as an option.. Someone swapped the trunk, which means no wing, which means no little flap on the spoiler, pretty simple. The car was still equipped with the zero lift kit from factory. They don't print "fake" options on OEM window stickers.

That's why I said "I'd guess", not that it had been in an accident. I made no accusations. I guess I must have typed it out wrong, sorry. Fwiw, I've been rear ended before with no bumper damage. Also, for the sake of conversation, plastiweld and paint can work wonders.

I misspoke. Technically it does, but with no wing and gurney flap, half of it is missing. Thanks for catching that.

The car has too many red flags, IMO. Any on their own would be no big deal, but together...I dunno. My spidey senses are tingling.
