I'd stay away from that car... It's 11k for a reason, and I've been to that lot a few times, they buy cars that don't run for one reason or another and fix them.

This is similar to the idea of picking up an evo cheap at auction. You basically have to plan on there being some stuff wrong and needing to put some money into it. If you can do the work yourself, or are willing to take a bit of a gamble on what the total repairs will likely run then you might end up with a sweet car on the cheap.

But lets be realistic, your friend doesnt expect to get a perfectly fine running Evo for 10k does he?

Is this the one that has had two engines blow up on it with a rebuilt title and 5 owners or something? I think I read another thread about this Evo somewhere......

That may have been the flame maroon one, though I suppose it could have been painted.

You guys should have a wall of shame on your site. Maybe make it a hidden and lock it down so no copy/pasting pics.
