    I hope so too :) The more I talk to the phone with this guy, the more I gain trust in him.
    He's an older guy so maybe that's why.

    Even if there are a few problems, $8.2k isn't too bad for such a clean TT with 30,000km on the engine.

    i think it means the engine was put in 30,000km ago... but it also has had previous milage on it.. but i think it has been rebuilt before it went into the car... receipts will tell..
     
  12. mr zed x

    mr zed x chassis scrubbin..

    thats how i took it, just a rebuilt engine...

    but hey, if its new wow, and if not, its rebuilt who cares haha! cant complain either way..

    Been listed a few times that one. I was looking at that a while ago cos of the 4 seater thing. I wonder if it didnt sell last time or was relisted cos of a non-payer.

    There are pics on the eBay link I posted.

    I still haven't got the car in my possession. There has been a hold-up with the roadworthy. The mechanic is trying to get hold of indicator lenses apparently.
    Hopefully I can still pick up the car today..

    Ahhhhhhhhhh. :mad: After all that, the car is not ready to be picked up yet.

    It needs new foglights and indicators to pass the roadworthy apparently.
    The guy said it should be ready by lunch time tomorrow.


    Are clear side lenses illegal or something? :confused: Can't think of any reason why the car would have failed the roadworthy due to lights...

    :sorry: it must just be me but i see red flags going up! warning bells.... surely this guy should've known already if it was roadworthy or not... they should've had it ready to go before trying to sell it...

    well not really sometimes , a ca could take more then a month to sell , so there is no point in getting a R/W until it sells ...

    yes he may think that it is R/W but a closer look will say it not ,

    The guy is very genuine, don't worry.

    He's an older guy and doesn't really know a lot about cars (didn't even know what his shift kit was for) but has spent a lot of money on the car and maintained it well.
    I almost feel sorry for him... I'm getting this car so cheap considering all the work that's gone into it.

    Poor bastard :D
