I would put it up in the air and check for more damage, looks like it hit something pretty good in the front...might have a bent subframe or such. But that's a sad looking Evo, but expect to put some money into it.

A good daily driver?? Nah....an older accord would fit that bill much better. This car would make a great platform for a dedicated track machine though.

Get the body structure checked out to see if it is torque from any unmentioned accidents; if its off, its not worth the hassle; i am stating this based on the front right bumper being cracked that bad.

That is one beat up evo, thats not even "fair" condition IMO. 10k, thats where I would start. A good paint job and bumper is around 3k, not to mention the other problems with it.

It looks like a city parked car to me. I see tons of high dollar cars with those bumps and bruises. It seems like a good deal if you don't mind the damage.

Do a compression check and take it out for a test drive. Listen to the drive train and check it out completely. I would jump on it!

looks kinda beat up...maybe something cheaper and more gas efficient would be more practical here since you're just looking for a DD.
