I'm Used Car Shopping for my Next Project Car!!

Former Rx-7 & Wrx STi owner here craving for a new sports car to show with the intention to gain sponsors. My long term goal is to get showcased on covers of tuner magazines with import models
My love life now affords me to free up a ton of spare money for me on toys. Let me explain what I mean: The girlfriend and I are not together anymore. Relationship #R.I.P
Our relationship ended as she broke up with, but what can you do shit happens.
That's another story for another time so here goes...

Fishing the Craigslist & Autotrader classifieds for a new car and have one in mind. Need the nitpickers and detectives to help me with history with said car. Nobody wants to buy a lemon myself included so if you have any information on the car I'm pursuing then by all means, shoot. It's a 2003 Evo 8 with a bunch of mods some which I'll keep and depending on my preference whereas others I'll replace with new parts.

Guy wants $30,000 G's which I think I can get him down to around $20,000-$22,000 as there's a bunch of negotiating tactics I've got up my sleeve. The major one being it's a USDM so that's a good start to get that asking price down pronto!

This being Revscene maybe you know the owner of the car and give some insight on it. My daily is a TLX, but it's so boring ZZZZZZZzzzzzzz..... almost puts me to sleep. Need a stick back in my life to bring back some excitement to driving. I like the Evo 8 and the MKIV's but cannot find any decent MKIVs :sadface:

If anyone has any other interesting leads to other Evo 8's or MKIVs and if I purchase the car with your help I will treat you to bubble tea or dinner as reward.

- Thanks in advance

P.S: What kind of fucking title is this "I'm Used Car Shopping for my Next Project Car!!"

Spare a few hundred bucks and take an English class or two first.

I think you're missing the point of a project car with a price range of 20k for buying a car.

Are you retarded? Owner is Anthony and he's not going to drop the price 10k because it's USDM. All evo 8/9 in Canada are imported from the states

But you haven't let him explain the bunch of negotiating tactics up his sleeves first.

i was intrigued by the confusing title...did not expect this...

I dont even understand this, especially for a car that was not available in Canada...

I don't understand the notion of how a US Import makes it worth less...
