Don't know car, but if you like the mods (factoring .25 cents on the dollar) and car has maint history with no track time; seems like a fair deal. Also another one on Auto Trader, 5200mi on the odo, no mods for $70K. Good luck.

That was my car i had built a year ago from evo sport, and it was the same evo sport BS as all of their stuff. I had them do bolt-on's and they could never get the check engine light to come off. They never got it fixed the whole time and even had to ship it back to them and they still sent it back with it on. They still even owe me 1,500.00, but i know i will never see it. Glad they are out of business, and hope they stay out of business.

Hi Chris,

Thanks for getting back to me. I was very serious about the car because it was modified and looked like I would have done it myself. You made some excellent choices and the car looks great. But, I began to worry when it didn't sell on eBay after 30-days, there were no offers, and it continued to sit on the showroom floor. I called after the auction and negotiated a $2K price reduction but never pulled the trigger, there was always something nagging at me telling me not to. I'm glad I listened (for once) to me inner voice. I know EvoSport temporarily shut down but didn't they come back recently as EVOMS with new personnel and a better business model? If so you may want to contact them.

Anyway, thanks again and Happy Holidays!

For the record on this car's history, the evosport tune was the problem, and what was causing the "check engine" light.

After I spent well over $4,200 to have the tune replaced with a proper RennTech tune, and had new O2 sensors put in place, the car is perfect!! NO check
engine light. No more issues at all. Car runs like a crazed animal. It just took someone looking at the car, and the evosport tune, that knew what the hell they were doing.

We all know what happened to evosport a few years back. So no wonder your issue was with their tune.
Glad you choose a reputable vendor

Evosport tunes came from Powerchip. They left town shortly before Evosport....in the middle of the night.....as the Ca Air Resources Board closed in.
