what price range should i pay for this '03 Evo 8?

About how much would yall pay for this one? it has a few minor upgrades & 94K miles.

i saw that the KBB private party is like $14K. retail is $16,400 (i read that's the starting price to bargain at). They have it listed for about $17K. This is in Houston, and there aren't many for sale. Thx 4 any advice!

Seems pricey. I didnt look at pictures much, but correct me if im wrong in 03 they didnt make 6 speeds, it has a boost controller, intake, coilovers by the looks, no timing cover never liked that idea, I paid 11 for mine with 98k on it. There are deals out there. Don't settle for one

yeah, they must have it wrong. it's got that stupid 6-speed decal on the shifter knob. i really like the car & the upgrades ( i noticed the same ones as u), but the price seems too high. thx!

Also a rear sway bar, turbo timer, and wideband gauge on a pillar. The tires appear to be camber weared also. As i saw from the last few photos. Could be wrong tho.

The price is high cause of the area. Here in southern Texas there is very little selection and used ones are all over priced.

Actually, that's true anywhere. There aren't many dealers, regardless of location, that have Evo 8/9's period.

If the store negotiates, then you can probably get them down to 16. If they're a Best Price store, that's a bit much. Oh, and never let a dealership try to sell you a car for more because it's modded. We sure as hell didn't pay more for it when we took it in on trade! In fact, we might have even paid less.

But regardless, the price is what it is because of the VERY limited supply of them.

Now, the car sales man in me is going to point this out:
If you buy are car that you love, you're never going walk about to that car in the morning and be like "DAMN IT! Why did I pay an extra $900 for this car that I love!?" Then again, if you buy a car you don't like, or has one or two things about it you really don't like, you're going to regret it.

It also has what looks to be coilovers, a short route UICP, inake pipe, mini battery, and an exhaust.

Hey man I'm in the pasadena area. I know what you mean about not a lot of dealers having evos. I had to drive all the way to kelleen, tx to get mine. I was like a four hour drive. Well, my car was 17,000 where they had it. Its a 2003 SE with 54,000 mile on it. Interior was kept real clean as well as the engine bay. I honestly think they are askinv a lil to much. I saw the photos and it looks clean exterior and interior but the only thing I didn't like was the engine bay. It can be brought to a cleaner look but it might take some time. Good luck man on getting your Evo
