Anyone know of this car..?

http://seattle.craigslist.org/skc/ctd/2006042852.html

I have just been browsing around at Evos lately, and this one caught my eye. Is this a GSR with the SE / MR wheels..? Not sure exactly what's up, but it looks like it could be decent... the pics they have on there are terrible, so it's hard to tell. Seems like for the miles it's a decent price from a dealer, so I'm wondering if there's something up with the car. Anyone wanna carfax it..?

Just thought I'd see if anybody knows of the car and any issues since it can be tough to trust a dealer with a used car!

Looks like it's got a serious stereo if the speakers in the door are any indicator. Nice looking Evo.

Low Miles and a good price at a dealership. I wonder what the bay looks like?

Yeah, good price at a dealership can sometimes be a bit of a red flag... but I dunno... If I were closer I may go and check it out myself, but I dunno if it'd be worth it.

SE lip, SE/MR wheels, BFG tires instead of the stockers, seems decently priced for the miles. I bought my WW for less with twice the miles and a lot of money in mods into it. Kinda balances out I suppose.

Glad you called that out. If it is too good to be true, it probably is. Unfortunately the ad won't load for me for some reason, so I can't even see who the dealer is to comment. With a bit of Frankensteining called out, I wouldn't be surprised if that is what it is.

I bet it's not a clear title or could possible have some mechanical issues. Dealers like to price Evo's for ridiculous prices.

It's an SE. It has the red stitch seats with the Diamond black bbs wheels and the lip. Unless he changed ALL of that, but more than likely an SE.

And it has an exhaust, 4th little picture looks like a hole for a silencer to lock into. And it looks blue. I'd check out how modded it is exactly. But looks like a good deal. I would def look into that, only thing that bothers me is all that door speaker crap.

I was actually thinking about buying that car a few weeks ago when it was marked at 26k. lol. They've marked it way down, I never went and looked at it. Yeah, the emblems are gone and it's got the exhaust and looks like a really expensive sounds system. I don't know much about sound systems though. It's interesting how they don't have a engine bay pic. I'd be interested in seeing that one. That's a great price, the clutch might be in bad shape. It has like 4 owners. That's very strange. Another thing is that it's only been driven around 5k per year. Seems sketch but could still be a good buy. Only way to find out is check it out in person.

only thing done to engine was exhaust only. i think he changed out everything and put it back to stock to get more out of the trade in.
