thanks for the advice Ryan.Kauz...I will not waste my time and look at the car, thanks for the information! i really appreciate that. I am thinking of picking up another member's car, It's an GG SE and belongs to limtedkorean. He is an member on here...He is a pretty good guy. I am just trying to keep my options open and not settle so quickly, but after driving his car it made the "itch" to get into a driver more quickly...

detroit is pretty shady. i bought my yellow 8 there 2 years ago it had a clean carfax. drove the car for one month came back from fishing in alaska 4 months later drove it for a week brake pads were gone, took it to korum because at the time brien wasnt mitsu yet i think. 1680 for new brembos, rotors and pads. and then i found out the transfercase was fried. luckily when i bought the car i bought a warranty which covered the transfercase which is brand spankin new. I *****ed and complained to detroit eventually had a one on one with the owner. he finally offered to pay for 80% of the brake cost. I was happy since he gave me cash $1200. They are pretty shady but since now im pretty friendly with the owner he gave my girlfriend a sweet deal on an evo x with low miles 3000 miles to be exact and yes she has the warranty

This video is so "dramatic" but the colt still looks slow.

hey just to let you know on the mr that is at that dealer it is quite possible they were stolen as well and they got the 8's to replace. I would get a carfax, and also when ever you are looking at a evo i would take it to the mitsu dealership and have them inspect it, and such. When you are buying a used evo its hard to find a perfect one because they are cars that are ment to be ran rough and you know most owners are running them that way at one point or another.

I would definitely do CA and maybe AZ for an Evo! You probably won't find what you want here, and you've definitely been trying! Maybe 2010 will bring you the car!

i'd take a look in northern utah. That's always a fun trip and they love their awd cars. go to ksl.com and look in the classifieds section (the button for it should be towards the top right iirc, then there should be a cars tab.) Most of the people in Utah use their local web car classifieds. i'd almost be surprised if you didn't find an evo lol

@ yahu i am very close, my s2000 will most likely be sold this weekend or next weekend just working out some pricing kinks, i found an SE GG and i really like it, I underestimated the 5-speed. Some things i don't like though is the car was in an accident near the front passenger side and was replaced with fenders, headlights, hood, and bumper. I test drove it and the car drove very well, it did not pull from side to side when i accelerated, it drove straight, looked clean, and i loved the feel. The owner who is a member on here was very honest, kept all the records for services, and pretty much anything that was done to the car. It is a GG SE.

Stand up guy! very very honest. He was a member of Socalevo.net and is now a member on here as well. Waiting on pictures to see how bad the damage was. Another thing that happend to the car was that it had a huge boost leak issue due to a huge crack in his manifold which was made by megan but is now replaced with a stock IM. That kinda scares me too but when i drove the car it drove very well. Anyways thats one car I am looking at....and considering

Have you looked at actual listings on carfax.com? I know there is an 04 1 owner on there.
