Salvaged Title @ 18,000 = regretful decision.

Check the for sale forum, and dont even give me that crap that you are considering it because you need a car right away.

Rent a car for crying out loud or better yet, buy a 1000 dollar beater, drive it for a while until you find a good price and deal on an evo and then go for it at 17K. Then you'll have a bad *** (non salvaged) evo and a beater winter driver for the same price.

PS - IX evo's dont need to be recirculated, so its all good!

 

How's there a 6th gear? And it's not worth it.. I owned a BMW 5 series with "minor damage" salvage title... It wasn't until a couple thousand until the car was running fine... Stay away, your best off finding another buy... Try eBay or Cars

 

Thanks guys for the info .. I really appreciate it

 

yeah the motor is probably destroyed, itll blow up before you make it home.

 

he is right though stay away

 

salvage cars are not that bad i have salvage evo and never had a problem with it runs and drives as good as anyones

 

it does not mean they are totaled i bought it with minor damages didnt even cost me grand to fix it

 

I'm guessing the Evo 8 lights and carbon fiber trunk are due to a read end incident? I'm sticking my neck out and guessing but that could be what's going on. He got hit or hit something and replaced it with the carbon trunk and cheaper lights!

Seeing other posts about salvaged, I would guess this COULD be the case!

 

i bargend the guy to 13500 . Good deal?

 

You just have to be extra careful when buying salvage. I have bought a couple cars in the past that were salvage but the sellers had detailed pictures and documentation of the damage and repairs.
Do you know anyone that works at a body shop that could take a look at it because those guys can usually tell when frame repair has been done. Even when they stretch a car back out, it will retain evidence of previous damage.

 

yea im gonna ask to bring the car to my mechanic (25 mins away) to make sure its ok . If he says no im walking out. Plus wtf is up with the built trans ?

 

becareful with the salvage title.... The rear doors dont seem to line up so good.... and the front bumper dosent look to be assembled corectily.... that my input.... good luck.... there is a 4300 mile gg mr on ebay right now for 18000 with a salvage title.

 

i think 13500 is a steal though. idk maby im just a pushover to these car salesmen

 

And are u sure about them not having to be recirculated?

 

stay away from this.. i've seen it for sale for a long long time. There's something about it that doesn't seem right. And there are deals, you just need to look for them and be willing to travel. I've seen evo 9's for sale with that same price in prestine condition for around that same price. Just my .02
