Hard to say w/out the following:

Carfax report
Professional / competent inspection in a shop

You can tell by the details that the EvO has been worked on in all aspects. Motor, interior, exterior

I suspect there maybe some serious mechanical concerns

This is like the Megazord of Evos, and not necessarily in a good way. It has the IX bumper but with an unpainted SE lip, IX Recaros and MR BBS wheels. Those goodies are better than their original counterparts, but it just seems pieced together. Any idea on how many miles it has? $16,000 seems kind of low.

Mileage? Compression/Leak down test? Test drive?

sounds stolen / crashed and rebuilt based on the mods done

also it looks like an MR center console, in which case it's not an SSL. can't tell if it has a sunroof or not

either way, i'd pass

yeah it looks pieced together. i wouldn't do it but finding clean ones are 1) getting rare and 2) getting expensive.

The price seems reasonable but that depends on the mileage which isn't included. Seems like a "story" car

Yeah the pricing does seem odd and if it has been listed for awhile there's probably a reason why. I suspect there are issues with the car not mentioned. Beware as I have encountered very dishonest people that will try to sell these cars for a "decent price" but there are underlying issues not even worth the discount. Good luck.
