Stick to your guns pal. The Mitsubishi EVO is a great machine.

As to the Salvage title, if the car is great and you plan to drive it for a long while, you can't beat the deal. Insurance can be tricky but generaly one can do better financially overall while keeping to yourself the dings that are only visible on the title.

I drive a '96 Grand Cherokee with all the bells and whistles for which I paid $3K over a year ago. The car is straight and clean and everything works except the rear wiper. Great on the highway and it came with the High lift kit. So I drive it all over my rugged Ozark property, right thru the trees.

Just like one with a real title.

With that title, the '04 is a "Buy Here Pay Here" car. That dealer will be lucky to get $12K for the EVO and even luckier to get a cash buyer willing to fork it over.
Hope you get it.
