hey guys well in interested in an evo but the carfax shows that it had 7 previous owners im confused cause it says owners 1-5, and then 6 and 7. To me it looks like some where just dealers not actual owners any info would help me out

Looks like a dealership showroom car....... from what I can tell. Then sold to a customer, and customer now selling it back.

However..... dealership miles might be some of the harshest miles ever, next to ownership by a young kid who is irresponsible.

Test drive it, get someone on the forums or someone who know their stuff about Evos to look at it, then talk pricing.

It might be an Evo, but its still a car. All cars have thier skeletons in the closet.

It looks clean. I would buy it, depending on the test drive and the inspection of course.

Good luck with buy. =)

Looks like a clean car, just that owners 6&7 didn't know what they were getting themselves into.

Looks fine to me. I would defiantly get an inspection done. Agreed in the Dealer hard miles.

Might also want to do a compression test and see what is under that manifold heat-shield. Looks like a coated part to me.
