Red Evo X at Chaplin's VW

Was looking at a red 08 Evo X GSR at Chaplin's Volkswagen Subaru in Bellevue. Noticed that it still had "Northwest Evolutions" decals on the windows. Anyone know the history on this car?

I test drove that car two or three months ago before I bought my IX MR. All I know about it is the clutch is pretty worn and the alignment was off.

New isnt a bad way to go, the 2010 changes look nice. Anyone care to recomend any local dealers/salesmen?

I bought mine from Michael H. in Olympia and he was pretty straight with me. The salesman at Auburn literally told me to go **** myself when he wasnt playing ball and I told him I might bag the whole thing......hence why I went to Olympia....

that car has been on their lot for over 4 months and they havent dropped the price a dime. There is an employee there that has a white X with some rota rims on it. I think it used to be his car (not certain, but it seemed a connection).

They have detailed that car (poorly) a few times as I drive by frequently and have seen it under their little detailers "hut". Judging by that alone I would take $750 off any asking price just to offset the price for paint correction.

The white one was on their lot for a couple days, and an employee bought it. I originally went to look at that one, as they had it listed on Autotrader for weeks after it sold.

I heard Rotas...which reminded me of this

before


After

and to think this happened to fwd honduh. Wonder would happen with a Heavier car such as the Evo at the track. Rotas don't take kindly to a lot of heat.


+1 on Bruce Titus, got my e-brake cables from them.
