okay thank you guys for all of your help, it looks like i might be getting the G35 instead because the interior is more "up to date" than evo and G35 has been the car i wanted ever since last year thank you all

LMAO now i really want the EVO lol... i went to check out the G35 and when i checked it out everything was great, but i couldnt picture myself in a G35... when told me no was that the interior was the creme color not black.. also G35 are so common in south florida.. I really need help now.. Evo seems like a car for me, rare and fun.. I am going to go look at the EVO sunday and will try to bargain to 10-10.5k if thats the case im going with EVO for sure.. can anyone give me tips on what to look out for?

I had an 05 Infinity g35 coupe with 6spd and Brembo package. It was not fast, and in no way shape or form as fun to drive as the EVO. Yes, its more professional looking, but every time I stepped on the gas pedal I wanted more power! Just saying..

is this the first evo you have looked at? if so i wouldnt stop on the first one i would keep looking aorund for others. sometimes its better to pay a little more for what you are getting for it may be better in all aspects and will last longer. please please dont settle!!!!!!!

yeah but the evo is in my price range.. i understand that this car costs a lot more and if i cant afford it i shouldnt i buy. But i do somewhat believe that its salvage because the vehicle was stolen. i did some research and it is possible that stolen vehicles can have a salvage title. I looked on autocheck and no accident was reported. I looked at other evo's online but they are out of my price range. i was willing to spend no more than 13k i know thats low but i am a college kid on a budget. hope you all understand

def test drive it, that is key for sure, also just do a basic peak around no rust dents, interiors good engine bay looks somewhat normal lol just make sure its running well when you get it, nothing worse then spending all the money then sitting around having to fix it

GL!

Salvage title is harder to insure btw, so also consider that. Well, at least here in Cali haha good luck! Remember, don't feel pressured at all to put down anything.
