looking at buying a evo need help

http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.jsp?car_id=246499547

I really like this car and it is cheap. I know it is a salvage title but said it was all fixed properly. So does anyone live in the area or know anything about this car? any info would help.

thanks in advance

whatever you do be sure to get a carfax report n go test drive it before making a final decision.

it looks pretty good tho but dont be fooled cause mine looked good before i bought it n then i found out not too long ago that it was a manufacturer buyback( its a lemon) but i still love it.

Don't buy a salvage titled car.

You will regret it in the end.

two reasons NOT to buy it:

1) Salvage title will give you trouble in the long run when you go to sell it in a couple years.

2) CarFax's don't mean ****... I know plenty of guys who crashed their cars (damage to the frame, suspension, body, etc...), who still have a clean CarFax...


Good luck...

+100 to everyone that said stay away. Salvage titles are nothing but trouble. Keep looking around, you will not regret it.
