I was thinking of buying this and fixing the damage etc.. do you think i should go for it?

Screen shot just in case link doesn't work:

 

Cost to much Imo
You can find a decent Evo 8 with clean title for 12-14k

 

what are they asking for it dollar wise? Does he mean a decent plow truck or a 78 chevy that leaks 1 qt of oil for every 500 miles it runs?

 

Craigslist link says 10k

 

Oh, I didn't see it.

That's way too much. A salvage title does go for much, plus there is the very real risk it won't ever be 'right' again.

 

I wouldn't pay more than 5k

 

no mine is a salvage ix and its almost minty fresh and I would sell it right now for 13k ( well if I had to hahah)

Keep looking and spend the extra $$$ for something nice..

 

He's had it listed multiple times for sale. It's probably been for sale for a year now.

 

Anything can look nice, but function could be way off. For me, I wouldnt pay more than 4k for that car.

 

yep. after you put the money into it, you end up with a car that is probably right around the price of one with a clean title. Id pass, but doesnt hurt to make an offer for what you want to pay. Id also be concerned that the milage is correct.

 

car looks like a piece of crap... i'd steer clear...far far away

 

Looks like a BIIIIIIG headache...steer clear of a car needing to be inspected, you will be surprised with all sorts of hidden inspection fees and such..Maybe if you could get the car for half of that then go for it, I think you will definitely regret buying a hacked up car, trust me I've made the mistake.

 

hey thanks everyone for the advice. I decided that it wouldn't be worth it at all since even if i fix it i wouldnt be able to sell it for more than 10k anyways so it would just become a money pit

 

Good call, just wait for the right one. Are you on a budget or something? I see you have a X. Were you looking to fix it and make a profit? Drag car?

 

that car has been on craigslist for about 2 years from what i've noticed. same description and all.
