Car used to have some 5 spoke wheels on it and was sold by a dealer for 13k like 8 months ago.. The buyer immediately listed it on clist for 17k like a douche(trying to flip it for cash for whatever reason) and now it's at auto source....

And when I first saw that ad, I was laughing thinking no one would actually fall for it and buy the car.
I forgot how they bait military folk.......

But yeah, dont waste your time on that car.
Its a headache.
Rob's story is true and that car is not worth anything near the previous owner's 14k asking price.

Yeah man, I haven't fallen for it just yet, but I'm going down!!! I haven't seen any other Evo's from dealerships around here. I appreciate everyone's input, anybody know the previous owner and why this car is deemed a headache? Thanks

I'm not getting it anymore, they are some shady people over there at auto source. they tell you one thing, then the next day they act like they forgot about the damn deal you made the day before. i guess it's for the better.

I needed a car asap, so i ended buying a 1997 mercedes benz c280 for $2500. I won't be in the market for another car for a while. we'll see what happens.

Like Rob said, the previous owner was being dumb and bought the car for cheap thinking he could flip it for more money.
I guess people already knew about the car.
I dont know the exact specs on it, but its in dire need of a tune.
It was like some kid threw mods on the car just to say he had mods......
And if I recall correctly, from a long long time ago, one the owners of this car was running a staggered setup. 18" in the front with 19" in the rear.

Yeah man, dont jump on things like that just because you want the car so badly.
It might give you so much trouble, you could possibly hate it in the end.
Glad you got something nice.
I hope you enjoy your new car!
