Dunno if I'm allowed to post this sorta stuff but I was extremely close to buying this car, flights booked to Perth and all, but then something told me to get this car checked out...
Made the owner take it to a mechanic who then told me it was f**ked.
98psi on #1 cylinder and 180psi across the rest. Brakes were metal on metal and motor was knocking...
This was probably 4 months ago now and he hasn't removed the listing or adjusted price. I'm curious as to wether he knew before hand and just wasn't going to mention it to me or not.
Just hope the people out there are doing there homework before they buy cars.
Even the caryards are dodgey as hell. My advice if it's a fresh import: run the vin number through every search engine you can find. I found mine and the info varied between dealer and the advert I found.
TRUST NOBODY and remember; you are doing them the favour by buying the car, not them doing the favour by selling it to you.
And most importantly get the car looked over (compression and leak down test is a must)
If I'm not allowed to post the link below please delete mods
but I'll leave this description:
pearl white 260RS in Perth, dayz options, 34GTR wheels, un-necessary fuel and intake mods...
Good luck and thanks for listening to my rant
