What's up guys. Sold my evo X a few years ago and looking to go back to an evo. IX or X. Something built already as my last car was built.

It was a 2008 gsr with an FP black on stock block. Had future plans to get the most out of the turbo but it never came to happen. Had to sell both cars
Can you give me your opinion on this car?

Its low miles for the age, but like with anything modified, I'd try to do a bit more research behind the scenes. All the ad tells me is that its been modified to within an inch of its life.
Since its based in SD, with that many modifications, its likely a member or two from the San Diego Evo crowd knows the owner. They will probably be able to tell you more about the car to make an informed decision.
good luck!

That's good advice. +1
Welcome back!
By inches of its life are you referring to the power levels for a stock bottom end? I think boost was around 24psi. Not sure though
Are you familiar with current market values? I have been away from these types of cars for awhile. Does the price seem reasonable?
within an inch i mean almost the entire engine/powertrain has been modified. nothing about that car is stock.
selling to a private party, based on miles and average vehicle condition you are looking at no more than $22K. so what he is trying to do is recoup the cost of the modifications. sadly, that almost never happens. you eat the mods you put on your car when you sell it. its just the way it is. thats why most try to get the car back to stock.
so for the mileage, its overpriced. i just cant justify the mods since i wouldnt do that to my own car, but thats just personal preference.

I wouldnt pay for the car with those mods as is. I see 20-21K no more for a car with that mileage stock in good condition. something that heavily modified wont ever classify as excellent condition.
I see what you are saying. More of personal preference. Definitely heavily modified but seems to be done the right way. And if a stock car is worth around 22k and I was planing on modifying it anyway then buying a car done the right way saves a lot in the long run.
I guess it's comes down to what shops and how aggressive the tune is. Obviously I want longevity as well
Can you elaborate why? Do you keep your car stock?
yeah. its more of personal preference.
now, if people in the SD group can vouch for the car and the owner, and can reassure you, then go ahead, go for it. personally id only buy a modified car if i knew the owner or knew the history of the car. there is absolutely nothing wrong buying a modded Evo, you just need to do your research beforehand.
thats why i recommend you checking it out with some of the people that may know the car in detail. still, its best to expect the unexpected when it comes to buying a modified car.
