I wish he dropped an E39 M5 motor in there instead. But props for moving the enging back for better weight distribution.

Low milage, fun car and seeing as how there aren't many Evos out there now and they no longer make them. This car will one day be a collectors item.

The Evo X is like GR STI. Not as desirable as the previous gen. Maintenance is expensive on those things too. 4G63 > 4B11

V12 merc w/45k kms for under $20k? 1994 Mercedes-Benz SL 600 V12 Roadster (Supercar)

i almost never see these on the road. maybe it's because no one can afford the fuel and the cost to fix them so they are always parked?



not sure about the "supercar" claim, but that engine... how do you work on it?

like the 300zx I believe for any type of work the engine needs to be pulled

or just check out Pelican for some DIYs

It's just a matter of time with the Evo X. The 4B11 is making really good progress in the tuner world and is a very solid and reliable engine. But yes, it doesn't have the track record of a 4G63.

As for the maintenance cost, it's an Evo. It sees the garage 3x more than a BMW for maintenance because of much shorter intervals, but a BMW sees the repair shop more often.

This is coming from a guy who lived with both cars lol

We live on a continent where manual transmissions are frowned upon. They account for less than 10% of sales if I heard right?

haha, look back exactly 5 pages on this thread. There was a discussion about avoiding RX8s because of engine and other issues and that most of them are in poor condition or rebuilt. Perfect example.

Engine replaced 8,000 km ago so must be pretty recent? I didn't know warranty ran for that long. Seems like a terrible business to warranty a rotary engine for that long...

I think this is a good deal for sure. That's if he has the paper work for the engine replacement.

I bet he would take 6k cash...

A strong running VR6 corrado.
These cars make a trabant look like an engineering marvel.
That e30 m3 makes me cry. Its well done, and seems very well thought out, but its just one less I may be able to buy one day. I really want to be able to experience e30 m3 ownership as someone did back when I was 2 years old got to.

i thought $6k for an 04 is about the avg price, unless you guys are taking in to consideration the new engine and r3 rims
