Hey guys just went and looked at a evo8 at a dealership it was an 03 and it had 72,000 and they wanted 16,900 for it it had the normal bolt ons but the clearcoat was fading on the spoiler and it looked like hail size dents on the hood is that a little over over priced i thought it was i bought my 03 with 49,000 miles on it for 17 just wanted to see yall input on it thanks guys

 

Overpriced unless they fix the dent and the clearcoat.

 

kinda high miles, they offering any warranty on it

 

Nope sure aint they said they would see what they would do bout the spoiler and the dents on the hood i just think imma keep looking and not jump into a car so fast

 

try to get it for like $15k or less

 

man they wasnt coming off the price none i told them it had a lil too many miles and i told them i would hand them 15500 cash and they said no that when i told them they could keep it and walked out

 

Make sure they did the 60k maintenance on it. You don't want to drive that thing off the lot and have your t belt strip/snap on your first on ramp! Also, a bit overpriced

 

Yeah it has had the maitenence done on it i went and looked at it friday and it was in there shop on a lift so im pretty sure they done the maintence on it it looked very clean under the hood looked like someone took care of it just figured it was a lil over priced

 

What mods are on the car? Sometimes mods can be an indicator of abuse or potential problems. I would not be concerned at all with the cosmetic aspects, you can fix those later. Did the previous owner keep records of maintenance?

 

I bought my 03 with 71k miles on it for 14900, they are DEFINATELY over charging for it unless its got wings and can fly away from the cops, in which case Id say buy it!

 

Im not sure im gonna call the dealership in a min and get the vin number that way i can do a fax the only mods that was done to it was a ams tbe, hallman mbc, turbo timer, aem intake, ams uicp and licp and bov

 

Let the car warm up and press the clutch in a few times to see if the idle is goofy(Like dips, shutters, or stalls), mine does that and its supposidly a problem with the BOV(Which came with the car, not my doing).

 

Nice, defintiely fax it. Also, car probably should have had a tune with those mods. I know thats a huge debate about when an evo with bolt ons needs a tune, but those mods should have altered the AF ratio enough to warrant one.

I would feel better about that car if the owner had a reputable tuner do a good tune and didn't just add the BOV to hear the WHOOSH! sound.

 

Yeah i did do that everything seemed fine it ran good for the mods it had didnt feel no stall or studdering

 

Yeah i would too damn ricers the seller told me that a guy that was in the marines traded it in for a brand new s2k i think id rather find me one from someone that knows what there doing and i can actually talk to the person that owned it
