check the aprons for damage---both fenders should have a vin tag! if it dosent it was replaced. also check to see if the bolts were turned on the fenders and the hood
look along the sides for wavy paint--indicates previous repair
get on your back under the rear bumper facing the sky and check the rear rails for damage---i.e if the bumper does not have a vin tag
put your head inside the trunk and look at the under side of the quarter panels and look for fresh weld marks---if ou do it may have been replaced and thus was rear ended!
check the rockers and trunk floor pan
find a clear strip of road and get up TO SPEED and brake slowly to test the brakes/rotors----if it pulsate the rotors probably needs to be turned
these steps should help you out to find out if the car was hit, repared etc.
they work! do it and you will not regret it

be sure to check for oil leaks from oil pan, head, transfer case, axle; not that it is a problem on the EVO but it is better safe than sorry!

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO THINK THIS IS BULL $HIT! LET IT BE KNOWN THAT COMPANIES LIKE HONDA, DCG, GM, GMAC, CAPITAL ONE, NOVEL & CFG
PAY $110 PER CAR TO GET THIS DONE FOR THEIR REMARKETING (i.e. repo, lease turn ins, rentals & fleet!)


GOOD LUCK GUY!
