Aside from the 500whp claim being a bit high for an 18k with 1050 injectors being a bit of a stretch, it looks like a solid build sheet. I'd want to drive it and make sure the drivetrain isn't making any untoward noises and get a compression test on the engine before considering the car. Being an 08, that's a high price in the current market and mods don't add value unless you would spend the money anyway. It also won't help you if you have to finance.

View attachment 289914 Hey everybody, I am looking into an Evo but do not know much about the platform. So just reaching out to get some input if this would be a good buy. View attachment 289915
At 92,000 miles its needing a total rebuild, timing chain rings ,bearing, etc etc.it definately has a lot of nice add ons but with that many miles you prob dont have much time before the big letdown and 15,000 dollar rebuild. Speaking from me having to do the total rebuild at 57,000 miles, with just 420 hp and 404 torque, mine the timing chain was about gone and rings tore up and pistons with broken skirts and chunks out of them, i believe from timing chain loosness
