should I buy this Evolution for $11.5k with 85k miles?????

OK, so after some late night flight searches and some negotiations with the seller, I have decided to let this one go...

BUT... I have found one that is closer! Here is the link to some of the pictures. It is also a lost FS thread in the market place but take a look

http://s113.photobucket.com/user/jas...ml?sort=3&o=16

Here is what his ad says:

"I'm selling a 2003 Lancer Evolution with 70xxx miles on the chassis.
It has a built engine
Wiseco pistons
Manley Turbo Tuff I Beams
ACL rod and main bearings
Kiggly Dual valve springs
Manley valves
Buschur Racing MBC
Buschur Racing turbo back exhaust with test pipe
Buschur Racing Double Pumper fuel system
Bushwacker Stage 1 transmission
Exedy heavy duty twin disk clutch
AEM wideband o2 sensor
Prosport Evo Series boost, oil temperature and oil pressure sensors
Stock turbo, cams and cam gears.
I have the stock wing but it is in blue and will be painted if the car doesn't sell by then.

The Engine was assembled less than 2000 miles ago and runs great, compression is 145-150 on all four cylinders."

It does have codes for the o2 sensors, missing the spoiler, and the clutch makes a noise since it is a Exeddy twin disk clutch. He says this is normal, so is that true?

So all this in mind, im 99% sure that I can get the car for $11,750 cash. Does this seem like a good deal and what should I check for when looking at this car

Also, is there anyone in ALBQ, NM who will take a look at the car for me?

That's a good deal if the 60K service has already been done. I would check to see if it still has the front under-tray. Then take it for a test drive and see if the clutch is slipping.

Whenever you see cars with ghetto spray paints on wheels,
that's already telling you so much about the car Ghetto Ricer mod = poor maintain evo with mismatched parts inside. And even if it has a tune then its one of those ****ty 100 200 tune from GHETTO wannabe tuners.

The guy said he has to get rid of it because his wife is pregnant. I am around 1000 miles away from him, but I thought this would be a good deal. He said he would do 11k cash and im guessing at least $500 in travel expenses. He also said that it has stock injectors which makes me a happy man.








Here is a video of the car running.

this...and its funny this guy is talking about tunes when his sig shows a Cobb stage 2.....nice.

drive the car, or have a local drive the car. type of mani? need to have the car inspected in person first. could be a good deal. its CO so could be driven hard, look for salt due to snow.

gl!

Gosh, i'd say that's a good deal if it has a clean title even if it had a blown motor...
