I had a guy offer me an Evo 5 in PX for my M3 Cabby also on Ebay - great cars and deffo a possibility.

I've seen 6's like that go for 8-10k minimum, some even more. Makinnen (sp) ones as well as RSs seem to be 10-16k.

Looks really good that one - mileage is sensible too.

Take a look on www.lanceregister.com in the cars for sale section for a price guide - but I'd suggest that is a fair swap. Better link here actually: http://www.lancerregister.com/forumd...?s=&forumid=15

If the condition's ok i'd say around the 9 - 10.5k mark Butchingston.

iTrader: (1)

Mite take a look at it then if its ok, any common things that go wrong to look out for when looking at it

Cheers for the helps guys

Butch.

iTrader: (1)

Well im asking 9k for my m3 so would you swap it if it was yours jay?

Mark 3D

iTrader: (29)

I think if the Evo is in good nick that would be a really good deal if you could do a straight swap!!

although saying that, the drivers side bolster does look very worn for a car thats supposedly only done 39k.

Redkop

Seems a very good deal for Ł9k IMO

Staffi

iTrader: (1)

Yes Butch, watch out for the AYC that can be a problem on the 6`s, plus the drivers seat looks quite shoddy just for 39k

Servicing can be exspensive, BUT as AJ, Lynne will tell you, if you go to some of the tuners i.e CPP, RC, MAD, you won't pay as much as main dealers, check it's had belt changes etc, standard discs are the WORST in the world....


Apart from that they're a cracking car, very very capable cars Evos.

Redkop

Ask what has brought the power up to 340bhp as the few mods he's listed won't bring it up to that.

Standard bhp is 276bhp

Butch.

iTrader: (1)

as i know nothing really about evos what would take it up to that power?

and what are the first sort of mods to do to the evo to upgrade performance???

Alps Pacino

I wouldnt buy it full stop sellers name is shabaz khan, the drivers seat looks like its done more than 39k imo. I'm not racist but when it comes to second hand jap cars i tend to stay clear of the asians as in my experience of dealing with them a lot seem to be semi traders and dodgy ones at that

Staffi

iTrader: (1)

With the exhaust he's got on and the induction kit i wouldn't of thought that would of taken it past 290-300max, you never know with them though, i remember speaking to Sheady about this and he said lots of the Evos that come/came into the country when dynod as standard made 300 or there abouts anyway, ( when supposedly they shoulde be 276)

As for a nice little mod, you can have a Ecutek map done, or if you want to go abit further Autronic is VERY good, i had this with Anti-lag, MORE EXSPENSIVE , but if you fancy BIG bhp down the line atleast you have the ECU. Gearbox will cope with 450 bhp as standard, engine standard i'd sya 400 would be MY limit, some have run more RICH W, ran 420+ for a few years, it's up tp you tbh...good car though..

Fook, i'm knackered now...

Staffi

iTrader: (1)

That's not very nice to say..sounds racist to me.............

Butch.

iTrader: (1)

i have just spoken to the bloke and he does seem of ethnic origin

he said he has some history for it and its an import, and he said it has had a remap, intecooler, and induction kit which has taken it to 340?

Redkop

I imagine it would be an EcuTec reflash http://www.ecutek.com/ would probably have more power if Autronic, Gems or Motec management had been used.

Phone up Xtreme and ask about the car if they have recently serviced it.

Redkop

It's not a Ralliart car then if it's an import. Only the UK cars are Ralliart. There's nothing wrong with an import anyway.... as all Evos are imports in reality . Mine is a grey import too, but was imported brand new by the previous owner.

Redkop

So you wouldn't buy a car from AJ, dojj, Hardeep et al?

Staffi

iTrader: (1)

Butch, ask him what remap it is and who did the work.



You'll always tell an import by the fog light at the bottom of the bumper, UK cras had it IN the bumper, but just to confuse you, SOME people did have theres relocated there.

How the fuck is it racist, i'm going from past experiences of buying and selling cars mainly hondas and all the experiences bar 1 was a bad 1. Its commen knowledge in the honda scene that 9 out of 10 hondas being sold in yorkshire by asians are ropey as fuck and sold by semi traders outside there house's. Its not racist i've had a lot of bad experiences with jap cars and asians so now i wont even bother going to look at them, just like if i'd been to see the same amount in say liverpool i'd just give up on viewing in liverpool

Staffi

iTrader: (1)

This was mine, my fog light was in the bumper...

Alps Pacino

Redkop

I knew you were going to say that, and the answer is if i didnt know them from adam then no i wouldnt. If i had said the same about viewing cars in Manchester nothing would have been said, Its pc bollox again look at keightly trade center for example the whole of yorkshire is of about the same standard unfortunatly

Butch.

iTrader: (1)

i suppose if it runs and drives fine then i suppose the rest is all just icing on the cake, my go and have a look a see it

Butch.

iTrader: (1)

wheres best place for a hpi check?

Alps Pacino

someone on turbosport does them cheap. Go and have a look at it, but imo i think he will come across as a trader

Redkop

Does it matter though if he is a trader?

Hell Stu bought his Evo off a trader, albeit not an Asian one!

Alps Pacino

Redkop

IN MY EXPERIENCE they buy sheds cheap spend minimum money on them to make them LOOK decent then flog them on to some numpty. Its not exactly the same buying from some bloke off his drive who sells tarted up plop as it is buying from a GENUINE trader is it. The ones i've met are not exactly in the motor trade if you know what i mean

Butch.

iTrader: (1)

well i wont be buying it as i just did a hpi check and its came back as a cat c write off in 2005 and he said he owned it for 7 months and it said on the hpi that he got it in june

Alps was right

Alps Pacino

Butch.

I'm not right i'm a racist

Redkop

FUCKING FOOL

rssteve

and its not forsale anymore anyway

Alps,

given that an EVO is made in Japan (part of Asia), therefore it's been designed and built by Asians, why are you not warning the thread starter to avoid ALL EVO's - regardless of whoever is selling them?

pollocks

what alps has said has been taken out of context i had the same problem when i was looking for a 306 hdi there was a couple i had seen in the trader advertised as private i got there and the guys were fooking traders just not legit traders and thats was 4 out of 5 i saw in one day and all were asian guys and all the cars were crocks too not as advertised etc

Alps Pacino

L8 ECU

Different asians though aint they, its like saying all europeans. Plus comparing someone who is trying to fob a cat c right off as a genuine car on his drive way and knowingly deceiving someone is different to buying a car from mitsubishi. I dot just descriminate agains asians seling shit i generally dont like imports in general.

Fact is i said i would go and see it cause imo it wuld be dodgy as he was an asian and i turned out to be right. I'm not saying every asian that is selling a car is dodgey cause its far from it but what i am saying is I ME wouldnt go look at them cause 9 out of 10 would be a waste of my time so i just steer clear now cause its easier on me and the seller.

Alps Pacino

pollocks

Thank you, people are scared to say what i've said cause its twisted into being a racist statement when its not its the sad truth unfortunatly.

Butch.

iTrader: (1)

it is mate he emailed me yesterday, he is proberly trying to get rid of it as it didnt sell on ebay

Redkop

You are a racist by discriminating Asian traders, there's just as many rogue white British UK traders, if not more and less of the fucking fool if you don't mind!

Alps Pacino

Redkop

You were sticking up for this tit and calling me racist and i was right. I have said on this thread that not all asians are dodgy traders but EVERYONE i have met and viewed there cars were blatently dodgy traders. You missing the point though as al the ones i have viewed were NOT traders just people who buy shit tart them up and flog them on as private people so legaly there not a trader but they do buy cars to sell on.

I'm speaking from personal experience, i've seen enough to put me off, thats not racist its just using my head and learning from the past imo

christianh3

39k and the seat bolsters worn like that??? LOL who's been driving it? Rick Wallah?

I dont think anyones being racist in this thread. It's an observation i agree with, and in fact my INDIAN friend (probably best friend) says himself that many of the asians in his area (bolton) will rip you off when doing a deal as soon as look at you. It's not that they're necessary bad people, it's just how they are, how they do things.

Of course there's alot of white muppet traders too, i've met a few lol.

cossiecrew

i reckon youll find its not hpi clear i have alot of asian mates and know of alot and everything they ever sell is on the register not hpi clear they love a catc or catd lol

fordsportjay

iTrader: (6)

when i was looking for an evo an asian guy had one for sale and said as far as he knew it was hpi clear.it was a silver 39000 mile car with apparently all original paint.

turned out it was cat 3 months prior,and had a recorded mileage of 70000.

same as everything though you have to be careful,especially with m3's/subarus/evos and even cossies
