Red Evo X at Chaplin's VW
 
Was looking at a red 08 Evo X GSR at Chaplin's Volkswagen Subaru in Bellevue. Noticed that it still had "Northwest Evolutions" decals on the windows. Anyone know the history on this car?

Do you have pics of the car?

I test drove that car two or three months ago before I bought my IX MR. All I know about it is the clutch is pretty worn and the alignment was off.

^ really? someone wore out the clutch in under 9K miles? crazy. I was looking at the same one. Guess now I know why it's still sitting on the dealers lot :P

ha ha 9k is alot considering what happens when you dump the clutch on a turbocharged AWD performance machine...weakest link.....goodbye

dis3as3d Nov 17, 2009 08:29 AM

:( guess ill keep looking. I noticed it had a few scratches around the drivers side rear wheel well.

Magnus82 Nov 17, 2009 09:03 AM

why not go new? There's like 3 GSR's in the Renton/Auburn area.

dis3as3d Nov 17, 2009 09:27 AM

New isnt a bad way to go, the 2010 changes look nice. Anyone care to recomend any local dealers/salesmen?

MR.Wicked Nov 17, 2009 06:30 PM

I bought mine from Michael H. in Olympia and he was pretty straight with me. The salesman at Auburn literally told me to go **** myself when he wasnt playing ball and I told him I might bag the whole thing......hence why I went to Olympia....

that car has been on their lot for over 4 months and they havent dropped the price a dime. There is an employee there that has a white X with some rota rims on it. I think it used to be his car (not certain, but it seemed a connection).

They have detailed that car (poorly) a few times as I drive by frequently and have seen it under their little detailers "hut". Judging by that alone I would take $750 off any asking price just to offset the price for paint correction.

The white one was on their lot for a couple days, and an employee bought it. I originally went to look at that one, as they had it listed on Autotrader for weeks after it sold.

After

and to think this happened to fwd honduh. Wonder would happen with a Heavier car such as the Evo at the track. Rotas don't take kindly to a lot of heat.


+1 on Bruce Titus, got my e-brake cables from them.
