I was just wondering what the general opinion is about purchasing this wrecked Evo. The sales guy wants $15K plus $600 shipping. I am planning to make this my project car so I don’t need to repair it quickly, but since I am strapped for cash I would be repairing it myself and hopefully for as little as possible. So let me know what you guys think! Thanks.



Also, does anyone recognize this car? It looks like it has some minor mods: exhaust and gauges, so I thought that maybe someone knows something about it.

I don't know but it looks very expensive to repair...... Unless one could get some of the parts for cheap, it looks like one could easily spend $4K-$5K in parts and more in labor..... There are some nice EVOs for sale with clear titles and no damage for decent prices.......

This Evo is being sold in Minnesota and I am in Maryland, so I am debating if I should take a flight out there or not. From the pictures that I have seen the rear suspension on the passenger side is pretty missed up. Also the driver side front wheel is dented and so is the passenger front door. The car runs but will need a new oil cooler.



Here are the approximate prices that I found online for random parts:



Bumper $800

Oil Cooler $300

Still looking for a decent deal on the wheels

Side Panel $400

Suspension components ???



Anyway let me know what you guys think. Thanks

I wonder why that car got deemed "salvage". I'm sure there's more damage there than you can see. I'd stay away. I think after you add up the cost of the car and repairs, you'll come close to the price of a good used EVO.

For me if i buy a salvaged evo, i'll just use it for track/off-road racing.

I agree! If I were you I would stay away from it, let alone its a salvage title. If it was that easy to fix then im sure the body shop or the owner would of fixed it themself... Its really not worth it and im sure there are much more things wrong with it then you can imagine...unless you know 100% percent what is wrong with it and know exactly how much the total will be including labor to fix it.... my 2 cents

I wouldnt touch it until I could take a look under the car for frame/structural damage. If it has a "salvage" title its probably tweeked.

The front bumper is $425. $150 for the lip on the bumper. A new headlight with the bulbs and balis is $1,100. The rear suspension look damaged so what ever would be needed to repair that. Front fender, oil cooler and possably a rear bumper.
$15,000 is too much when you include all the parts and labor to fix it. By the time you fix it, you could have gotten one with reasonable miles on it for maybe alittle more $ then it would cost to fix this one.

Thanks everybody for all the great info. After thinking this over I decided not to purchase this particular EVO. I guess I will keep on looking around until I find the one that is in my price range. Hey if anybody wants to sell theirs for about $20K let me know. J
