Hi Geoff
Last August I bought a 2002 Evo 7 GTA through you with only 11,000 kms. I have since sold the car and am looking at getting another EVO.
This time I am looking at a 7 GSR, 8 GSR, 8 MR or EVO 5. I would really like a black 8 or 7 GSR but am mainly looking for good value like the example you found for me last time. I would appreciate it if you could send me some examples or or even sign me up to the auction alerts again to get an idea of the prices etc.
Regards
Sam
