Auto Auction Evo's
 
I'm going to an auto auction on friday in hopes of picking up my first evo. Anyone have any help on what i should be looking for like red flags and such. Thanks for the help.

lol chance are if you getting it from auction its going to have some type of issues cant just go off visual and no ispection you get what you pay for whether that be a blown TC or motor. Dents missing parts etc. man thats risky but if you have lots of extra cash say another 5k to throw at it should be good. dont forget you have to pay up front none of this loan crap either

i have 13k up front to pay. I've never been to one before so i didnt know what to expect. thanks for the info.

Finding an EVO at an auction will be very tough, especially one in decent condition. I would not buy one without knowing the history. My best advice is to bring someone who knows a lot about these cars.

If you have 13k up front, why don't you just go to a dealership and put 13k down and pay off the rest? That's what I would do.

lol...dealers tend to auction cars that aren't "dealership" worthy, which is pathetic to begin with. cars like these i'd stay away from at auctions.

Forget it, its a joke. You'll never get anything decent with 13k and if an evo was there some one else that wanted it would pay more than 13k for one worth having. You can get a basket case for sure

I have my dealer lic and looked forever for an evo at auction. they were all in very bad shape.. Well most of them. And majority was salvage title as well. You can do much better private party. I have yet to see a clean evo come through the dealer auction....

i wouldnt do it, get a co-signer and a clean evo
