Another Evo that may be a good deal! Opinions? 2005 MR WW
My other thread was getting to full of Evolution possibilities, so im making a new one!
So I sent an Email out about a craigslist ad a few weeks that looked to be a damn good deal. I got an email back today and got the seller's phone number. I tried to go back to the ad and it was removed from CL. I talked to the owner and he sent some pictures of the vehicle to me. He told the car had been tracked by the previous owner. I dont even want to mention the mileage because yal wont believe it (and I havent ran a CARFAX on it yet to see if its right). I will post the mileage when I get around to running a vehicle history check. It is a 2005 Evolution MR in WW. He said the AC works, clean title, no mechanical issues. He says there are some cosmetic, but nothing major. I will be calling the owner tomorrow to get a bit more info. If the owner says all the right things and I end up being "100% interested", then I plan on having an inspection done along with a compression test. But let me know what yal think!

You do realize that if you track the car there are certain rules to run in certain classes, some of which include a cage.
Exactly, the owner was up front about tracking it. If it was a dedicated track car the low mileage would make plenty of sense. Good luck OP.
