Super bored, waiting for new black ops maps to download....so doing a throwback!
Found my old evo pics that I had to take for the lawsuit. I was like 21ish at the time, total noob, even worse than I am now if that is believable. Bought a 2005 evo with like 30k miles and paid 22.5k or so. Found out from a friend it had issues. Had to sue the dealer because they sold it as a clean title, clean carfax (found out carfax is worthless) and stock etc. I had no idea what to look for sadly, it looked ok in the back of their shop in the shaded area they showed it to me. NOte to self, never impulse buy a car!
Just for reference, it looks as though it was rolled, the front clip is from a GG car if you can tell and there are no VIN stickers on any panels (which all should have them).
I did eventually win in arbitration after 2+years. Never buy anything in Illinois, no consumer laws to protect you.
Even given all the crap I had with this car, I miss my 8, seemed so peppy even for stockish.
Edit: you will also notice on the exhaust mani heatshield, its dented, the radiator was pushed back that far. Wish I wasn't so dumb, could have a good evo 8/9 now and not sunk into an X
