My new used yellow EVO 8 on the way.

Hello y'all,
I been looking to purchase a EVO 8 for quite some time now , and
finally I found one that fit my budget.

I bought the car online on ebay for $13,000.
It was listed for $14,900.

The guy (seller) have a pretty good feedbacks for selling his other car and goods,
figure i can trust him. He provided a autocheck report and just to be sure , I also
check with carfax.

"Turbocharged
60k miles
5spd
AWD
Brembo Brakes
Enkei Wheels with New tires
Recaro Seats
Injen Intake with complete intercooler piping

Front and Rear Strut Bars
Lowered Springs
RS wing
Do-Luck Carbon Fiber Lip
New clutch, pressure plate and t/o bearing
Car has 60K miles and has a clean UTAH Title with No Lien.

Car is ready to be driven......"


I lived in Minnesota and the car is on the way , deliver by a shipping
company.

Once it gets here I'm planing on taking it to dealership to have it ispect.

Anyone have any idea what I should look for in signs of trouble?.

In my opinion getting the car for a clean 60k mile Evo 8 for a flat $13k sounds a
bit too far fetch or is the price is right?.

Here in mn even salvage title evo 8 sell between $15k-$25K

i think its about right, i mean and 03 with around 40-50k miles will sell between $15-16,000, so it depends how desperate the seller is. Btw did you check the car in person?

Sadly I did not check the car in person , I just pray and cross my fingers hoping the car
is decent.
I don't expect to be perfect but only decent.

The seller respond 100% to my calls and emails so far.
