Potential Car Purchase- EVO (need advice)
What do you think of this evo:
http://forums.evolutionm.net/showthread.php?t=208389
My brother-in-law is considering it. I don't claim to be an evo expert, but he says it's a good deal for the work done. Looks like it needs some small bodywork, and he would get different wheels.. what do you guys think?

Evos = 
from a superficial sense.
Great performance if you are looking for a project car, but I hear it's a shitty daily commuter.
Offer 22K (as above) as see what happens.

see, I think the opposite, i'd much rather buy one from a tuner because most of them take good care of their own cars
Reality is, how many cars like this haven't been beat on?

Why would someone modify a car and drive it around like a old women? Again, I would bet that the car was beat on both on the street and dyno. Doesn't make the car a bad buy, but rather buyer beware.

It looks like their race car and they may have stripped it? http://www.buschurracing.com/racing-evors.htm If it is, the second paragraph says "totalled" and I would stay far away.

Thanks alot guys for the advice! You were ALL right... Maximized, I agree... I was trying to convince myself! 
You know how that is online.. lol... Anyways, my bro picked this one up earlier this afternoon:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=150002665130
But he got it lower then the price listed on the ebay ad....I think they settled @ 23k
