I gotta be honest, if I had to have single car for everything, that's what I'd be looking for. Don't limit yourself locally, go find one in Arizona or something and take a nice drive down 66.

With it being winter my search is rather, limited. I just don't want to deal with cars or anything in the cold right now. The summer may change this approach as i'd love to pick up a car from the nice weather states that hasn't seen SNOW and SALT.



Main problem is trying to trade in a vehicle, so local seems to work out for me. I can wait . Maybe REXISME decided not to buy it.

Eh, im not paying $35k for a 4 year old car. New or Not.


I'll just keep looking for a low mileage evo 9 and not get hit with an instant $10k depreciation.

and just an FYI


the VIN on the hood, bumper , tunk and rear bumper dont match up

Car: 9032
Hood/Bumper: 1069
Trunk/Rear Bumper: 9184


Those where the last 4..



Car also has an aftermarket alarm, and should have remote start at least all the wiring was in the engine bay for it, it had that little like hood push pin or whatever. Not sure if it has cams or not, but when it was idling cold if you blipped the throttle it wanted to almost die.. was missing 1 bolt on the turbo heatshield. All worm-clamps appeared to be brand-new possible FMIC ?, and it obviously has suspension.




Have fun with it, it was a nice car.. sadly they parked it outside i was pretty disappointed when i saw it sitting outside
Well, I don't really care about the hood and trunk. If you look at the roof and side spats, it probably had acarbon fiber hood and trunk at some point.

Other than suspension and turbo timer the car is suppose to be completely stock. We'll see, the part about it dying while cold concerns me though.

After looking into it it more i was under the impression the past owner had an aftermarket bumper, cf hood and a wingless trunk with a jdm rear bumper.


As for it wanting to die when blipping the throttle when cold, i have no idea... Only other thing i noticed was all hose clamps on the fmic were new and it was missing a bolt from the turbo heatshield.

They haven't picked it up yet. Actually, if you did buy it, you wouldnt have to worry about making an easy 500rwhp... Everything is already done for you and its been tuned by Bob Kurgan. It's a beast and I love it but, I do miss awd and I needed a car that could be driven year round. I'm more of a "driver" so a perfectly balanced car is what I am looking for.

A 500hp cobra on drag radials just doesnt do it in NW Indiana. Especially once I got down to figuring out the payments+ins+storage.... It wasn't financially smart. That and I only drove it 800 miles last summer.

Hehe, Nice. I was looking at cobras, c5 z06's and EVO's after test driving a couple, i basically determined an EVO was the next car for me.


I'll buy a cobra when i have an evo and can afford a winter car...

SALT = FTL


Ugh, ****ing Moneer... damn douchebag.
