Hey there, I recently had to get rid of my Wicked White 2006 Evo IX MR due to it having a lot of issues that I didn't feel like dealing with, I've been wondering recently who bought it. I'm in PA and traded it in at a nearby Ford dealership, Not sure if I'm allowed to do this, but I thought this would be a good idea for an overall thread for people who had to get rid of their Evo

 

Learn from the girls and Let It Go!

 

What were these issues you speak of?

Did you lose a lot of money on the deal?

 

Yeah I did, I bought it from a dealership that turned out not to be as reputable as I thought, it ran great, so I went straight to the tuning shop of my choice and spent 2000 in parts, I had it for 5 days and the turbo went out. The dealership fixed it after 2 months, I had it for a few more days and the syncs in the transmission were going out. So I decided it's best to not try drive it 100 miles a day lIke I do now and I had to sadly had to get rid of it, but it had potential and I'm sure whoever got it is lucky once they get the transmission problem fixed

 

Well, that's a dick move
I hope the new owner was aware of the transmission issue.

 

If they didn't figure it out when they test drove it I feel bad for them. It sold after being on the lot for about 3 days. I bought it with the antenna broken off of the vortex generators, most speakers broken, terrible tires, botched rear fender rolling, a spray painted lip, a cracked tail light, chiping clear coat/epoxy on rear wing, sketchy BOV, and cel on due to the map of the person who "tuned it" at the dealer, there's probably more that I'm forgetting, I got new tires though! Haha

 

How many miles did it have?

 

Are you sure it "sold" or did the dealer send it to the auction?

 

It had around 65000 miles on it, it was priced at 20000 for a few days pictures posted to their website and everything, I assumed it sold, it had the 2.4 in it, swapped with the 5 speed trans, a lot of things done to it, just thought it was a cool idea to see what someone else did to it

 

Sounds like another bastardized EVO

Shame and sucks for the new owner, but it's out of your hair. Not sure I'd even want to know who ended up with it with all the issues it had.

Let sleeping dogs lie!!

 

This idea is a very scary idea if you think about it...

I want to eventually buy an X and I'm scared to get a bastardized EVO!

 

New owner probably did this after he found all the problems it had

 

Here is what happened to mine. So sad.





I bought this car brand new in June 2003. I traded it in August 2006 for my IX MR. Look at it now, this was back in 2011.

See for yourself, anyone else able to find more pictures?

Who did you buy it from?

 

I bought it from imports of lancaster, I honestly won't ever buy a car from them again
