Detailed pictures of the engine bay would be helpful. Any person on this forum could tell you a lot more about that car if there were some pictures of the engine bay.

I would try to get him down to around 14k if the car is in good mechanical shape.

I've been driving a turbo car for about 3 years now so I know what to look for the most part. I put the kit on myself and only thing I had to do with a shop was dyno, so I learned a lot. Just AWD cars are much different and I already know there's so much more to learn and i'm excited to be honest.

I'll include pictures on the main post of the car.
Mo Town eh? If you pick this car up be sure to come to Knoxville where all the cool kids are.

You gotta be careful with car salesmen. They will lie through their teeth to make a sale. I shopped around a good bit before I bought mine, and I can say that I knew more about Evos than any salesmen I encountered .

The car does look very clean though, so who ever owned it took care of the exterior, other than putting those ugly rims on haha. I just find it very, very, hard to believe that an Evo with four previous owners wasn't modified at one point.

Just take your time and don't jump the gun and you will find the right one. Good luck!

Yeah im so eager to get into a Evo lol. I been looking for the past 2 weeks and everytime I get close, something goes wrong or the price is just too high. I'm trading my current car in and i'm trying to do it before the value decreased too much cause of the new year and I haven't hit 10k miles in it yet so the value is still good.

Nice that it has all the right interior that it should, being an SSL. The car looks super clean too. For having 4 owners and 110k miles it looks to be in great shape.
