Help selling the EVO - My advert look OK?

Gibbo · 10 Mar 2011 at 19:34

Hi there

I've advertised the EVO as after this weekend I suspect I shall make a car buying choice, as only the M3 left to test drive. So in preparation I've advertised the EVO X and request you guys check it over to see if it reads well and if my price is fair one as ideally I'd like it gone by month end.

Here is the link:-

Nope free parts will still go on, just got it advertised now as if someone comes along I shall simply let it go.

If no interest I shall let them have the car as they say it will take 3 days. Informed them saying am selling so it may go and of course any potential buyer before hand I shall let them know they could get a load of free bits too, just need to drop it off for a few days.

Why not buy the extended warranty and stick a £1000 on it anyway?

P.S - Thanks for the ride at the members meet. It was epic!

Because Id only rather spend 1k if I have too, if someone buys it this month I can do it for them should they wish and I'd highly recommend it.

So all think the price is good then?
I think it might be the lowest price 360 on the net, as I kept price low as mine has clocked up some miles, though albeit still low.

V nice advert, good spec & good price. Gibbo you've seriously got me considering an Evo! Are these expensive to keep on the road?

They can be yes, the X is the cheapest to keep on the road compared to any EVO, due to 10k service intervals compared to the older ones 4.5k intervals. Also the X uses a chain and not a belt so no big expensive services to worry about.

Just watch out for brake pad changes. They're *expletive* expensive. My housemate just did his!

Mine has a new set in.

I fitted Project MU+ all round which are the best for road use, low dust, good from cold but no fade and they cost me £600 all round. You can do it for half that price if you go with a cheaper or OEM pad.

Did you purposefully omit the paint problems you had or is it something you forgot?

Got them fixed by the dealership as in the end they agreed it was a fault and repaired at their cost.

But left them out on purpose.

Ok, just didn't know if you forgot thats all.

Caveat Emptor and all that

EDIT: Aside from that the ad looks fine to me, plenty of deal sweeteners in there which would appeal to me as a buyer - its obvious that the car has been looked after.

Yeah bet Mitsubishi will be glad when I sell the car, they probably fedup over me claiming for anything I can, haha. Hey thats what a warranty is for and its amazing how many people pay for stuff to be fixed that warranties would have covered.

But yes its been looked after by me, but I cherish my cars. Even my 306 HDi only gets fed Vpower diesel and is looked after and thats a shed.
