Time to sell my Evo.... With kids and lots of work I don't have the time to devote to the Evo anymore. She's sat nearly un-used in my garage since July of last year. This car needs a new owner who'll take good care of her and hopefully take her to the next level. She's just waiting for a bigger turbo and porting...

The good:
She's spent almost all of her life garaged. Scheides and Kracka can attest to the fact that I don't beat on her. I've had oil analysis done by Blackstone and have changed the oil according to their recommendations using Mobil 1 and factory filters. The driveline fluids have been changed every 30K miles. She was my daily driver since 2008 and I've never had a problem. The car has been tuned by DB Performance in Rogers, MN and made 315 whp and 315 wtq on their dyno dynamics dyno.

The bad:
She's due for a 60K service. This was done around 30,000 miles due to a strange noise coming from the timing belt area. This was a warranty replacement and no noises have come from that area since. Also, the Prosport EGT and Oil Pressure gauge don't work. If I were to keep the car I'd replace these. Aside from normal wear-and-tear from driving every day the only real blemish on the car is a 0.25x1.5 inch spot where the clear coat seems to be missing. It's weird and I never pursued it with the dealer while under warranty.

How I arrived at the price:
Looking at the market it seems dealership Evo's with similar mileage are ranging from $17,000 (salvage title) to a little over $20,000. It's hard to find similar cars on EvolutionM.net but the market seems to swing from the low to mid $20,000 range all the way down to $15,000 for beat-on cars and salvage titles. I started at $20,000 and took off $1,000 because it needs a 60K service done and another $500 or so because I've driven the car 92,000 miles and it's almost impossible to keep the car in mint. Add in some extra value for the 2-sets of nearly new tires and I think that $19,000 is a reasonable starting price. These prices are in-line with Kelly Blue Book
