bought my 03 apexi silver evo about a month ago from s. tacoma auto.. bought it on a friday took it up to bellingham and back to seattle and ever since then its been in the shop. the dealership did fully inspect my car n its costing me now. so far had to get new master clutch, slave cylinder, break line, alternator, and valve gasket. NEVER BUY A CAR ON TACOMA WAY!! false promises and ****ty deals. but its all good in the name of the evo also my engine idles at around 2k.. took it to a mitsu dealer n they dont kno why its doing this. any ideas? or any advice would b great

 

Check for vac leaks... When I got my car my egr valve hoses had blown of and caused it to idle alittle high.

 

That sucks bro. I almost bought a car from there. And thought why they have so many evos. But goouck on ther car bro and hope it doesnt give u more problems.

 

U should give English Racing a call. They deal with nothing. But evos. There the best

 

if it was from this place:

they only really sell salvage-title cars and cars that need a lot of work. i feel bad for you if it was from there, sorry for the troubles!

 

Demon nailed it, that dealership on S Tacoma Way on 66th sells nothing but lemon evos.

 

and if you wanted a lemon, I could have just sold you mine...

 

Clutch master, Brake lines, Slave seems odd. Were they tampered with or something. Hope the Dealer is not making it more of a Lemon then it really is.

The idle problem is probably pretty simple to get fixed.

We have a ton of good used parts so things like Slaves, Master, Idle motors etc I have at a 1/4 of what the dealer charges and if we are barking at the wrong problem its no big deal unlke the Dealer that will just keep charging for parts to fix a problem that they have not idea what it is.

Anyway if you need a tow or any help please let us know.

 

Luke, side question. Does the Evo slave cylinder have a restrictor in it like the DSM slave cylinder does?

 

was it from Import Auto World? I got my first evo there for super cheap, (8K) and spent like 2k fixin it up, and had it running perfectly. It had a salvage title, and I knew it before I purchased it.

If the dealer sold you a salvage title car, without disclosing it to you, buddy you can take them to court. However, if you purchased it knowing it was salvage, I hate to say it...but you kinda stepped into problems. Not that the dealership was in the right not telling you about the problems, that sucks for sure.

Like they said above...call ER. They are the shiznit

edit: saw above and it was said S 66th and S. Tacoma Way... yeah, thats Import Auto world...they don't sell ONLY salvage titles...but the majority of their cars are. However, they DO disclose it...Dean is a pretty honest and reasonable guy in my opinion


Thanks,

i know that car its from the russians they make cars from junkers sorry to say that men but i see that car when they got the first day and it was a piece of junker , like you say people dont buy cars from there they only have junkers

 

Yes it does.

 

okay i can do that thanks. im not worried about the price cuz i have the car under a 3rd party warranty so it only costs me a deductible

 

never buy from import auto world. they always have something wrong with the cars

 

+1 ER, sorry to hear about your troubles. good luck!
