2003 silver evo
2003 evo (DEPOSIT IS IN, PENDING SOLD as of march 31st)
i've been through an adventure, four different evos since 2003. it was great. my marriage is on year two and now we're home searching and having kids...
so you guessed it, i've been on the fence about getting a luxury car and leaving the 'scene'. i wasnt sure about selling but now i decided to give it a
shot when my friend wanted to sell me his bmw. asking price is $11500.
bought it two years ago at 124k for $12,500, drove it rarely and now has 129k. only major work was a transmission swap because the old transmission wasnt worth rebuilding. got a great price from MitsuJoe@PPI, a dealer refurbished 2005 transmission that i had sean ivey install(have receipt). motor was installed by previous owner so i dont have receipt. nevertheless i've compression tested the motor when i purchased it two years ago (170's i had all four cylinder) and its been great running ever since.
less then 50k on motor. tuned by Junior@Pruven Performance in CT (340whp @22psi)
Mods done....

Maintenance done....

The BAD...
Driving in heavy rain the lights will get condensation alittle.

Rear fender has dimples from inferior paintless dent repair works. Paint isnt damaged.(it looks like it but its not rust bubble, just ripple in sheetmetal that can be massaged)
Nexen tires arent so great but hey came w/ my evo10 wheels so wanted to use them up first.
OEM front strut bar is missing in the pic but its on the car, shown in next pic

wow... looks like you definitely put some time into the car. Price is very reasonable. This should sell quick! Man... I gotta wait about 5 months though before I go buying another car LOL
silly question... are you running HIDs on the lowbeams? ALso... I am assuming no TC issues right? JUst asking... given the mileage of the car and didn't see you mention it.. well unless I missed it.
