madmax Posted May 19, 2008 Author Share Posted May 19, 2008 xXx said: so the lesson to be learned is, if you come across an Evo haggle as hard as you can lol Unless it's a very well cared for car. As I know there are only about 3 or 4 cars in that category. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDs old yellow one was quoted 6 Mil when it was with P*l* Auto Electricals. Then almost immediately it was at a car sale in Nugegoda (same place where they had a orange 350Z and also a red MRS that they say is "sold" but remains at the sale) and was being quoted 8 Mil!

A land like no other. A car that was i think about 6.5 million brand new 5 years ago (correct me if i'm wrong) is now 8.0million.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neat or not. do the math and you'll see you're been ripped off! Lancer Cedia car - Maximum Rs. 2 Mil (I've seen brand new imported G plate ones going for even 1.5Mil ) Conversion kit - Rs. Maximum 500,000 Installation/Interior/Extras etc -RS. 500,000 Total Maximum cost - 3 Mil Add another healthy profit Margin of Rs. 500,000 and cost still is 3.5 Mil. So bottom line is your getting ripped off Rs. 2 Mil. Plus the reality is no one wants to buy a conversion that has been done by someone else. I've seen a black Evo 6 convert being advertised without any luck for ages. If someone wants a convert, they prefer getting it done by themselves by a trusted mechanic. Conversion are a low cost alternative to the real thing. There's no point loosing the price advantage. These car sale buggers are trying to make a big buck trying to sell it to un-informed customers.

fuzzo Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 the only problem is that evo 7 upwards, conversions are not too easy to do as the previous evo's which is why you don't see too many of them being attempted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a very well kept specimen with Evilmak! and then there's another convert that landed recently. Both silver in color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
