Another lucky bastard with a salvage evo for cheap.
Nice pickup.

 

I'd say you got a steal. Lucky you.

 

That's a good pickup, nothing majorly effed, just a bunch of small stuff. I've seen worse cars for sale with clean titles, often.

I've thought about pickin' up a salvaged car, more specifically a theft recovery that the interior is gone to hell and just throw some race seats and autometer gauges in.

This gives me motivation.

 

Or there is frame damage, the hood looks funny.

 

I hate you.


So yes, yes, you did.

 

No frame Damage, the hood has a dent on the front tip..

 

Yes, you got a steal. Good find.

 

if the frames in good shape, you got a hell of a good deal especially with such low miles

 

The car drives as straight as an arrow. I carfaxed and gave it a thorough inspection before I bought it.

 

I hate you.

 

That is a good deal, only downside is you wont get much if you try to sell it because of the salvaged title.

 

Why would you try to sell it? I would keep it.

 

Sold my last salvage ("rebuilt") evo for 18,000 . It was an 03 with 36k miles and make 400hp.

 

You my friend got someone good. Considering I paid 4g less for my clean titled 400hp VIII gsr. And this was from a dealer. Yea they got rapped in the butt. They we're asking for 20g when i walked in. A week of being on their ass every day and negotiations took care of that. Needless to say the staff was pissed when i drove off the lot. Haha

 

I hate you too!! Very good price you got it

 

Good deal! Now go enjoy the car!!

 

WOW. congrats.

I would have bought three at that price...

 

Thanks, I definitely prefer and EVO over and Sti after owning both.

 

Lucky!!!!!

Hudsonhawk - Why do you prefer the EVO over the STi? Just wondering. I don't know too much about both of these cars, and I will be in one of those soon.

 

Rebuilt titles are often the way to go.

 

Well they both have advantages.

Sti: nice guages, liquid filled rear view mirror, completely reliable boxter motor, beautiful transmission, brembo color is nicer, drive-by-wire (no throttle cable)

Evo: Fast for cheap, handles better in the snow, a lot more room inside, I like the black interior vs. teenager blue, the seats are WAY more comfortable, bigger trunk, WAY easier to work on...may I say spark plugs for instance, I think the interior is also easier to work on as far as radio's, guages, etc..

They both have some shared nice features like HIDs with levelers, nice steering wheels, nicely shaped center consoles.

Some drawbacks:

Sti: Interior is uncomfortable driving more than an hour, and the exhaust pitch will give you a headache, don't handle very well in the snow compared to the evo, VERY hard to work on and get at certain pieces, parts are more expensive for the most part because of brand names, etc.

Evo: Like I said HVAC controls suck, the 03s have transfer case issues and both of my evo's whine in 1st & 2nd gear, etc.

However the only thing that really bugs me about the evo is that the damn HVAC controls use a cable instead of being electric to change from hot to cold, and if they bend at all you can't change from hot to cold without reaching under the dash and moving the gear by hand (ANNOYING)

 

Yeah, I'm not a fan of the bright blue int. on the sti. We'll see.

 

I'm going to go cry now.. Great buy!

 

NICE FIND!


Props to another Evo Owner

 

Thanks again . It will probably be fixed and sold within 4 months like all 12 of my other cars .

 

I wouldn't fix anything yet, i'd get rid of those horrible tails. lol Great find though, I am a big fan of black Evo's.

 

Ouch on the roof being all dented up. Did the hood fly up on the car ?
