i found this car for sale, rebuilt title, no motor, repainted, interior is rough. asking 5500$

i can do the machine work myself, and the block is still in the car. i could probably have it running for under 1000$ but theres lots of aftermarket parts i do not like. maybe i could sell them off or swap on forums for stock stuff.

heres a couple pics.

whatchyall think?

(i build cars, literally i could assemble it in a week of evenings, and i have always wanted to do an evo. interior is fair but mostly salvageable, as a running car what would its value be?)

 

Look to the underside to decide whether you build it or not. Rust would be a no.

 

I agree^^^

If its rust free, lock & load. Cant go wrong for $5K

 

Yep. If the shell is clean, go for it.

 

why is it a rebuilt title?

 

i have an educated guess at this from what info i have acquired, and it is nothing that would make me question the shells integrity. i am going to try and look at the car end of next week. its about a 4 hour drive from my door.

 

So it's either a flood car, caught fire, or was stolen and stripped down?

 

So your saying you could have a running evo for ~$6500 and a few nights of work. Seems like a no brainer. Should be worth at least 10K if you can make it presentable and mechanically sound.

 

it was in a front end collision and insurance worked it over. owner kept it had it repaired as it was not actually that damaged.

i am going to look at it the weekend of the 20th. this is a no rust part of the country, as long as the repairs were done well i am going to do my best to get it picked up and home in the next month or so. (hopefully no one else finds it, beginning to think i shouldnt have mentioned it here)

yup, running evo 8 for 6500$ (i just used my last set of evo pistons in my friends 2g dsm build or i wouldnt have even had to spend 1000$ to get it running.)

 

Do it and start a new thread starting from the day you pick it up until the day it gets tuned and keep it for yourself.

 

+1 on this^. I would love to see you bring this car back, can’t go wrong.

 

go for it!

 

i will add pics when i get up there and see it in person.
(random post to get to 15 so i can try and sell a quaife LSD i have on the forum here, sorry)

 

Please do this

 

so the seller flaked out on this. no EVO for me.

if you see a 5000$ evo any where let me know.
