Good buy? Bad buy?

Hey guys. I'm interested in getting my first evo. I've got my eye on quite a few. But this one, I really like. It's got about 67k+ miles on it from one owner. Seller is firm on his 19k price. Would you guys say go for it? or keep looking elsewhere? I'm comming from a honda so I'm used to the reliability.

Thanks for any info!

That cars been messed with a bit.. Just from a quick look it has 8 interior, tail lights, and wing.

Mechanically, who knows, I would try to arrange to have it taken to a local evo shop for inspection.

Cheers!

On top of what Tamer said, I don't like the fact how there are no engine bay pics.

Those seats don't look like 06 either. My seats are black faux suede. If it is the first owner why the yellow dealer tag on the key. I saw that you already decided against it. Wise choice
