I've seen a couple of stolen evo's com in to our dealeship.
But just the let you guys know I heard through the grape vine that most people who get a car stolen usually can't afford the payments. That's why there's GAP Ins. Trust me it is not very easy to steal a car with an anit-theft unless you have a tow truck (Unless the idiot left his keys in the wrong hands). Think about it, what would be the easiest way of getting rid of a car that you can't afford without skyrocketing you insurance rates.

Looks like it might be a nice base for a track car if you could get it for 5k. Just pull out the carpets, headliner, doorpanels and other interior bits. Sell what you can on E-Bay. Then weld in a full cage. Put in some proper racing seats, pick up a set of light wheels, and patch up the body work. Maybe 5-10k on top of the purchase price.

Yeah, your gonna need to buy OEM equipement to make sure it passes State Patrol first before you start your journey.

Not really. I was talking about a track-only Evo that would be trailered to and from events. Wouldn't need to register, inspect, or insure it. Nor would you really care that it had a salvage title.

the bronx. haha. that motor looks ok but you'd be naive to think its not blown. same for the transaxle and transfer, most likely dead or near dead. i wouldn't pay 6k.

also notice the "ding" on the trunk lid, its hard to see because its in the middle of a huge ****ing dent.

if you actually think about how much is still on that car $$$ wise. The engine is brand new, the tranny is brand new, the drivetrain is brand new. I mean just a brand new t-case alone is close to 2K. think about....having an extra evo engine around.
