I was gonna sell my '03 Evo 8, but my motor I think is about to blow.

My dilemma is, the offers I've gotten are not enough to rebuild the motor and make a profit. So now I'm thinking about keeping it.

My question is, what would you do if you had 15-20K to spend on your Evo, knowing part of that has to go to a new motor?

Why do you think its about to blow?

Why can't you sell it as it is… with 15 - 20k… I'm assuming you could buy a 2nd hand IX?

Wait what makes you think its goibg to blow?
With 20k you could rebuild the motor and build everything else along with the motor easily qith money to spare. Thats a lot of coin

You should just rebuild the engine before you throw a rod threw the block it will be much cheaper without needing a new block

That's true, before the crank gets gouged.

Sell it priced with blown motor
Buy a close to stock 9.
I guess this depends on you. Everyone has different opinions.
I've seen tons of people put tons of money to rebuild only to sell or garage it.

Please don't be a typical underhanded used car seller and sell a car with a known engine issue and not say anything.

Karma is a *****.

I'd get a 9 but thats just me.

That's a lot of money - Plenty for a rebuild. Don't wait until it is fully exploded.

Lol never! That's why I said I'm keeping it now. I think I'm gonna build a stroker, get a cbrd turbo, new cams, fic 1600 inj, and ALOT of other fun stuff!
