Is this Evo worth it?
Hey guys,
My brother is looking to get an used TB 05 Evo SSL w/ 51k miles. We went to test drive it today at the dealer in NJ. It had some aftermarket parts, intake, blow off value, Forge MBC, and exhaust. However, we also found out that the was involved in a accident a yr ago w/ a deer, but not total. I couldn't find any structural damage, but did find that there is a little gap between the hood and the passenger side headlight seal and a big scratch that starting to rust (see pics). My question is should he still get the vehicle even with this little gap? Will this cause any problem when bringing to car wash? Don't want him to get something that might be problematic no matter how cheap ($21K), kind of like my leaky IX MR... All opinions welcome. BTW anyone recently traded a Evo in at an Acura dealership in NJ with extra set of wheels/VII tails?
