Just picked up evo number 3 last night!

Bone stock TB IX GSR with only an AMS TBE. Undertray intact, trunk liner mint, interior mint, headliner mint, paint 9/10. Garage kept. 87k miles. Purrs like a kitten in heat. Shifts smooth. Pulls surprisingly good for a stock car (ive never driven a stock one before)

Drove 3 hours last night in the snow and threw 12,8 in the sellers face. Well, 12,6 but I'm sending a check for 200 tonight because he didnt have paypal. Yes, I spent just about every dollar of my available money at this moment lol. Banks closing early didnt help.

I'd call it a steal

12.8k for a ix in that condition is a steal IMO. Guy must have been a very motivated seller

well, it is a reconstructed title but it was a minor side swipe. Owner said it was an insurance flop/technicality and I agree. driver side fender was the only thing replaced. super clean inside and out.

guy was asking 15.5

With a rebuilt title he's lucky you bought it for that.

It sounds like the insurance screwing up was good for him too. Assuming they wrote it off and he got paid out and then turned around it bought it for a few grand......Then made another 13k on it.

i'm not crying for him.

Good deal for you.

Good deal for you.
rebuilts go for 65-70% of market value. NADA being the lowest books the car for 19,400.

the car is pristine and definitely worth it. I dont have any doubt I would be able to turn it around for even more if I wanted. Its in absolutely perfect condition.

more pics to come. the 8 isnt looking her best right now due to a recent rain and a guard rail
