Found another Evo.. Opinions?
So I am still in search of an Evo. Looking to trade in my SS/SC Cobalt on one. Came across this one earlier today and wanted to see what the Evo guru's thought of it.. If anyone could run a Carfax for me that would be great. Let me know your opinions. I emailed the seller and they sound interested in my car as a trade. I asked for some better quality pictures. I would just go check it out, but thats a good drive from where I am. Just testing waters right now to see if it would be worth the drive. Thank you for any help..
Here it is..

Never a bad idea to take it to a shop and have it looked at if you are close to a purchase. A compression test etc. wouldn't be a bad investment before purchasing. I wish I would have done this before buying mine, I have had to spend a lot of money to undo the previous owners mistakes.

Good luck with the purchase, not trying to jack your thread. You've gotta take a look at this, epic fail!!

Big thing to worry about is Transmission, transfer case, and motor. If you are serious about it you might have to go up there and take it for a test drive.

Could be a few different reasons, for example mine came on a few months back 'cause of some faulty wiring in the car's alarm system, what's funny is I had the alarm installed right after purchasing the car and the light came on some 3 years later, the dealership here actually fixed that for me under waranty which was surprising. Call and ask or if you can like some others have mentioned take it to a shop and check it out.
