Holy Crap He's Joking Right?!
 
So I'm always looking around for another Evo and I found this advertisement. I can't believe what I'm seeing here. Seriously... how much is too much for an Evo these days? :lol:

Forward that link to BubbaKush, as he is the guy who has to have an Evo with under 15k miles and will pay "Top Dollar". Haha. I don't think anyone in their right mind would pay even half that price. OP, thanks for sharing. That was my chuckle for the day.

"Diamond pistons and 8 fuel injectors"

I wouldnt sell my evo for less then 35k. Some of us have a lot of money into our cars. You guys may not see it because your used to evos with minimal mods going for 15-20k but when you drop 75+k into a car like i have you need to recoup your losses. If you bought a like new evo with low miles and built it to the point he did or to even the point i have. Youll pay out quite a bit more then his asking price. I dont think his car is worth 75... But maybe 50. This is why people part out or return to stock prior to selling.

Diamond pistons is a company

Now its more common to run 1 set of huge injectors but it used to be more cost efficient to run two sets of smaller... Or he might just have a second set not installed.

I just don't see 100k in mods...or even 75k

Some interwebz digging of Howie Automotive while here at work on a Sat bored pulled up that this guy does own some very fast cars. Noted a Mustang 8.20@172 and Vette 6.87@209 mph in 1/4

Guy knows how to make power but is out of his damn mind if he thinks he'll even get close to 1/2 his asking price on that EVO.

Anyone who dumps that ridiculous amount of money into a car and expects to get even close to that amount in return lives in a dream world. I mean, seriously, who dumps $50k, $60k, $75k into their car? And for what? Horsepower bragging rights? If you are a dedicated track guru, drag racer, etc., then there may be a valid point. But most people are none of those. When it comes time to sell, you wind up getting a third of that amount, if your lucky, because buyer's presumptions are that the car has been through more (code for beat to crap) than the average bolt-on car. That's why fully built Evos that have thousands and thousands of dollars of mods don't sell for much more than low mileage, bolt-on Evos. It's an Evo for crying out loud, not a Lambo, Porsche, Ferrari, Viper, Z06, GT-R, etc. People who have $75k or even $50k to spend aren't going to look at buying an Evo (unless they are one of the above mentioned people). Yes, $35k is realistic, but $50k and up, no way. Like ^you^ said, massive part out for any chance at making some coin back.
