Buyer beware there is a 2005 EVO 8 mr at toyota bountiful in Utah. this car has a odometer roll back that they wont tell you until you pull a carfax or after you look over the car, (the rollback is not mentioned on autotrader or their website) and the sales associate Robert Terry is extremely shady, he gave me three different stories, 1st he tried to say that it was because they bought the car as a rolling shell and the engine was replaced, then 2nd he told me it was a mistake on carfax's part 3rd then he told me that the entire dash was replaced and some wires must have been crossed to cause a short. They had it listed for 17,900$ now it just shot up to 22,182$ no idea why. My experience was very shady and bad vibes were all over the place and I think that they know somethings fishy with the car and they're doing what ever they can to dump it. He told me it has been on the lot for 84 days and that they try to keep to a 60 day policy so something is very off about this car.

I friggin hate how dealers are so sketch... before i purchased my baby and when i was in the market, i visited a lot of dealers that were so sketch about the evos it was disgusting. Then i finally paid the extra 2-4k so i could purchase it from a semi reputable place, South Coast Mitsu. It was worth it for the extra money.

I know I have been hunting for the last 5 months and so far I have had one dealer sell a car that i had a deposit on while i was on a flight down to get it, then another sold one cheaper to another kid when I was standing right next to the kid, now this guy trying to lie over and over even though another sales person told me the real story its ridiculous. I wish i had that extra 2-4k to spend and i would head down to south coast cause i hear great reviews from them but all i have to spend is 15k and if necessary 16k max :/

I've test driven that thing for a friend who was looking at it. It is super shady, does not drive well, and needs north of $10,000 to fix. Many problems with the engine, the throttle is not smooth, many of the parts were swapped for GSR parts, the dash is most likely from a regular lancer, wires hanging into the cabin ... the list goes on.

My friend offered them about $4k so he could have a winter rebuild project, they never called back.

I felt the same way, red flags were going up the second I saw the evo9 bumpers and the dash. I called them on there bluff and told them it needs alot of work then he tried to guilt me into buying it saying i was missing out and i would be the one regretting it. At that point I laughed and shook his hand walked off the lot. I wonder if they bought it as a shell and thought they could make some money off of it by frankenstiening it. He also told me that it has been on the lot for 85days but yet it was just posted up on auto trader within the week.

They told me they replaced the engine so who the hell knows, and i definitely feel bad for the next owner. I almost died laughing when i saw that they raised the price from 17 to 22 though!

I wonder how much they let it go for, or if they are going to be sued when the dude who bought it realizes they bought a lemon

Not sure they brought the price back down to 17500ish after throwing it up to 22000 so if i had to guess between 16500 and 17k depending on how much the buyer actually knew what he was getting into.
