Just wow at nemsin.



Please don't anyone listen to nemsin, or you'll lose your money to a scammer.



Due to the overall stupidity displayed in this thread, I'm done helping here.

Thanks everyone for your help. I'll just wait for until maybe something comes along or wait till I can afford a $15, 000 evo. It looks like evos at around 10k are ether in garbage condition, been in an accident or are just a scam.

very good call!

I sometimes search for 10K or less cars, and when I'm doing that I'm expecting shells that could be used to build a race car. NOT street cars in that price range that run well

also, do some more searching around here on the cost to fix/maintain an evo.

Even though the cars are down in value, and you might find a good looking steal at 12k or something, depending on what's hidden and wrong, you could EASILY, EASILY, find that your 12k car needs $10,000 more to be in tip top shape, especially if you're paying an Evo shop to do it as well.

I was not advising him to send the guy a wire transfer. I was saying that an Evo 8 could very well sell for 10k, especially if it had been in a wreck. Go troll your warcraft forums kpt6.

You said you thought it was legit. And besides that you then pulled up Edmunds and NADA pricing. How moronic. You can't even get an Evo 8/9 for those prices at auction.

Seriously, just go away nemsin. You're not helping anyone here.

2004 Evo VIII on autotrader for 9K. http://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-s...85923684&Log=0

Just because I was wrong about the original car being legit doesnt mean you cant get an VIII for ~10k

Or do you think the autotrader add is bogus too?

P.S. Nada guide is what most banks are going to use if you try to get financing. So those amounts are important unless you plan on paying cash.

Dude you and I can clearly see that car has body and paint issues, and it also has 35k more miles than the fake silver Evo ad said that car had. It's tough to find a clean 8 for that price- very tough. What you posted isn't near as clean looking as the fake 90k mile silver Evo ad.

And there are plenty of banks that price by KBB. Some will even compare comps. So please stop making blanket statements like you know everything.

seriously? Horrible choice to prove a point. This tells me you know less than I thought. there is a lien on that car and read the condition in the description? Seller is clearly very desperate to pay it off, how much more money before this evo is in actual fair condition. My assumption is it needs maybe another 10-12k in it. That current condition it's only a parts car.

Also nada is NOT what most evo owners price they'r cars at and it's not what most buyers are willing to pay. I'm not going to repeat myself. But appearantly for you, I will because I'm nice. Go on other forums and research other cars. You will see we arnt the only ones with bs book value.
