This Evo Worth it/ road legal?

I've been wanting to get an evo for a while, now debating weather to get a new X or the IX like: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2006-...643844b6#v4-40
It looks nice, you guys think the price is good?

Will mainly use the car as DD, but don't need to drive far.

its a very high price. i would rather get a stock X.
those 2 girls dont come with the car :-/ if they did the price is good.
it has expensive parts yes, but i personally dont like fully modded cars.
emission wise and parts wise it is prolly not "legal" but that would mean every evo that has 'off road use only' parts is illegal.

I rather get a stock or close to stock evo and put a stock frame turbo on it.

Oh hell no! Sorry to the seller out there, but bottom line; it's just another used Evo and in that condition it's only one headache after another trying to make it a daily driver. You are better off going with a stock, or near stock, IX or X and making it what you want it to be.

way to much has some nice parts. but idc who says they baby there car they beat on it here and there. it would be smart if you want a modded car and not put time and effort into it and already have it done, but however some people like me like doing there own mods and doing our own style and we take more pride in it knowing we did all the work and who did the work.

Thanx for the feed back . Fairly new to evos and over all modding cars. Thought it was something really awesome besides low miles on that car to drive the price up that much.

People will never learn that modifications are liabilities and not assets. You don't get back what you put into the car when you sell it

Truth be told. He's got a lot of tasteful mods, but it doesnt double the value on the car one bit. He's better off parting it out. Then selling it.
