Im going to ask him if I can have a shop take a look at it and see how he reacts... usually if the seller tries to get around a mechanical inspection, then it is time to walk away

 

Well, after a fella on here posted a thread on a local forum... I have decided to walk away. If anyone wants a EVO 9 parts car, this might be a good place to start!

 

Good choice op, happy to hear you didn't blindly jump right into a purchase. This is exactly what I was thinking for this evo...a great parts car.

 

Anyone???

 

That new one you posted looks like a great deal. Only 58k miles.. not bad at all. Go check it out and see how it drives. If all is good I would scoop that thing right up.

 

It is a bit of a distance away from where I am. I am going to ask the owner to take it to a shop and have a brief inspection done. If its good to go, Ill fly out there and buy her up!

 

That's a hell of a better deal! I was looking all across the country for my evo. I wouldve flown anywhere to get thenoerfect one of these cars

 

Well I have finals through next Friday, so hopefully he does not sell it. But if he doesn't, then ill have good shot at it.

 

Seems like a good deal if everything checks out fine

 

I think the IX was a better deal than this 03 you posted. I don't see why many posters here are thinking this 03 is a great deal. I saw the classified ad for this car. You should note that even though this Evo you mention is for sale in the Southwest (where there is ZERO salt on the roads), the last two pics show that this thing is rusty/corroded in the engine bay- not a good sign. Personally, I wouldn't go near it with that rust- I don't care how low the miles are or how much less it is than KBB.

 

I bought my 03 evo viii for $11k cash and 84k miles but did a crazy amount of haggling and drove 5 hours each way to pick it up. Good deals are out there (especially around the holidays people get tight on cash) but do your research. If you're really interested, show him by paying for a carfax and offer to pay $xxx to have the car looked at by a local dealership/shop that YOU choose. If you decided not to buy the car he is reimbursed for his time by having a full inspection of the vehicle for free. Good luck!

 

I noticed you're from Colorado - Tobz (tuning - thornton) and Jack (trans - springs) are good options on feedback and if the cars are in the area they may already be familiar with them

 

Where did you get the car from? I was looking for an Evo about three months ago, but I ended up buying a 02 WRX for$8500. Got bored with it, and just sold it for just under $12k Before though, I had a few guys willing to do 11's with under 90k. Im really starting to reconsider this WW Evo. I called the guy and he seemed a bit, sketchy. So we shall see!

BTW, noticed the Bronco pic, you from around Denver?

 

This has been on CL for a while now but it seems to be a good price? Anyone have any opinions?

Looks better than the white one. Lip looks busted. Get it checked out, If it comes back good, I'd negotiate a deal and probably pick it up, especially since it's pretty local to you.

I do wonder why has it been for sale for a while at that price though? From my observations, these cars tend to move quickly in CO.
