Evo Test Drive today! Pg 2, need advice

[99GPGTX]

yuppp...for $1400 so i can get the leather seats. They are only about 2k

Got these pix today from the guy



Also just found out that the car has 56k miles...not 45 like i was told originally. He must have bought the car with 45k. This is making me question whether i want it or not. I dont want to catch it on a downturn. All the aftermarket parts could be pricey. Thankfully they are all bolt ons so it wouldnt be too terrible, but then again, im not a mechanic

If he isn't up front with something as simple as mileage, what else may he be hiding. Ehh, Id be a bit more hesitant.

It wasnt him that told me miles originally...its was my brother in law who helped put it together. He must have just been guessing.

Today i drove a 2010 Evo GSR with 32k miles. Guy is asking $25,990

I have one issue. The GTX.

I have had this car since high school, its my first car, iv had it for 10 years come this may.

I have:
$4500 worth of audio/video, including instal costs (fiberglassed doors and built trunk)
$3000 worth of Wheels and tires, and i have winter wheels and tires
$350 high output alt
Couple grand in engine work

the question is, should I
1. keep the car and pay insurance on it
2. transfer all the audio to the Evo
-I would have to find stock door panels, stock radio, and stock speakers (those are long gone)
-Sell the summer wheels and tires separate
-Redo the Winter wheels and put them on the car as is
-Put stock alt back on car and sell aftermarket

OR

Try and sell/trade as is (which im assuming ill want to punch someone in the face for what they would offer me) Keep in the mind its a 1999 with 158k miles

This is my main concern


All that said, here is the car

It's paid for insurance is minimal keep it and fix it. Have a play toy and a daily driver. You know how many times I've torn my truck up and was glad i didn't have to fuck with it enough to drive it on Monday? He'll it spent months gutted to the dash

Fk thats true..it would be nice to have the gtx in case im doing something with the evo..or visa versa

But it would also be nice to put some more money towards the car payment or parts for the evo

About your battery drain. I think that the battery needs to be charged. If it's low the alt won't be able to charge it and if your still playing your system it just can't catch up. I left my dome light on in my toyota over night and it started right up. Pounded the system about 40 min to work. Saw some pretty goo voltage drop into the low 12s. Anyway when I went to leave work the truck would barely start. When I got home I put it on the charger and it took about 6 hours to get a full charge. No problems now. I will continue to put it on a charger every few days just to keep the battery fresh. Just my 02 cents. Btw love the EVO

Been there done all that lol

switched batts

got my alt rebuild and put back in the car

charged multiple nights

left audio off all day and charged overnight

still having the same issue

Its been through every senario except checking for parasitic drain. I just dont want to do that when its negative #'s outside...like the last couple days.
