Looking to purchase an Evolution however I don't want to purchase one that was previously wrecked.

Do the fenders on this car look misaligned to you, because I see a lot of ads where they look like this below:

1: i think that car is overpriced
2: its almost impossible to tell if its been wrecked from looking at those pictures unless there is an intense body gap
3: that car is filthy as hell to be on a showroom floor lol.

 

i believe thoose are the wide fenders, thats how they fit.
the asking price is a bit high thou 26k? for a Evo Ix wit 64k miles on it seems pretty high.
i got mine for 22 with 40k miles on it, but i did talk them down from 25.5k
Id be more worried about if it had the 60k mile service done to it, and if the Tcase whines.

 

And 4, this is the Evo X forum lol

 

Wide fender? Hmm, I'm not aware of different fender sizes.

Also, my apologies for posting in wrong section (new to this forum)

 

Looks like the EvoDave fender mod.

I would avoid that one, looks to be modded and put back to stock because the exhaust doesn't look to be fitting right. Also I have no idea what is up with the wiring mess in the engine bay.

 

pull a carfax

 

Ah, wasn't aware of the EvoDave mod. I just searched it and I guess you may be right that it was modded before also with larger wheels for this mod to be of use.

 

0__0 **** I can't believe they left the car *THAT* dirty and put it in the show room. WTF.. really <$15 at a local wash and they will at least wipe down the interior.

 

+1 lol

 

The car better be spotless and dust free if I'm going to even consider spending 26k on it lol

 

Car to me doesnt look like its been in a accident but hard to tell from pictures. Car looks awful dirty to me and needs to be detailed. Can't believe the dealer didnt clean the car before they through it on the show room floor. 26K is def over priced IMO. Even though, Evo's are holding there value. Some Evo IX that sold locally to me are going anywhere from 25-27K and there selling with 50k miles. I cant believe i bought mine 3 and a half years ago for 24K out the door with 48k miles and this day there selling for more lol. I would do a car fax and check to see if they did the 60K service. If everything checks out find in those 2 areas, go take it for a test drive and tell them do detail it lol GL

 

no wreck or accident records in autocheck at least

 

check and make sure it has the identification tags on the fenders, doors, trunk hood, quarter panels etc. they are these little white rectangular stickers on each panel with the vin numbers. they did them on all Evo's up to I believe 2010. Both my 06 MR had it and my 08 X. Unfortnately my 2011 doesn't. those tags are only availabe on the original panel. Car looks like it was modified at some point and could have been wrecked. It's missing the undertray for starters.
