[inark]

tahts hardcore wangbiting... how long had you had it for? pretty sure your covered legally for a certain period, especially if they have provided a RWC etc.

Gah, that sucks but it's not the end of the world. It is possible to repair rust in chassis rails. You will need to have it engineered, but it shouldn't be too much of a headf**k.

That is, of course, if you have no recourse against the person you bought it from. Was it private or thru a dealer? If private then you don't have a leg to stand on (unless he supplied the RWC - you will then have to go after who ever supplied the RWC), if thru a registered dealer then you should be able to get your cash back (even if outside the 30 day warranty period as it is a chronic problem that must have been affecting the car prior to you purchasing it).

GL with it!

Yeah I posted one page back but that was through our mechanic, took it to a proper body shop that's been in the business for over 30 years and he just looked at it and said its f**ked and you're a f**king idiot for buying it. It has rust in the front strut towers, all throughout the floor pan and in the boot as well, its too big of a job they have all agreed and a new chassis would be the only way to continue. It was bought privately from interstate (NSW) without a Roadworthy/Pink Slip, it has gotten pink slips in the past which is incredibly dodgy as without a doubt this hasn't just sprung up overnight. Currently it's not in our name we still have the transfer papers but we have paid the money to the previous owner. Waiting on a call from the previous owners father to find out if we're getting a refund or have to take them to court. I'm tipping the latter. If anyone want's to know the outcome of what happens here and if I keep looking for skylines after this situation just let me know and I'll keep you posted.

Cheers all,

Borci88.

And if doubt get one of us to come check t out with you. Always good to go with someone who has one as they know what to look for. ( before you waste $400 for a vehicle check)

[33gtst]

hey, does anyone know if I need to remain a paid member of sau to renew my cams lic? Or once I have it I can just keep renewing it?

[llama_au]

You need to be current paid member of a club. So you'll need to renew your membership.

[scarface_au]

I've tried to get cars privately twice and nearly got burned both times, thankfully they only cost me a few hundred to get checked instead of the thousands the repairs would have cost. After the second I've vowed never again, it's LMCT or nothing.

[Borci88]

Anybody wanna see the damage?

[alr33x]

Borci i rekn your best bet is to part the car out you'll pretty much recover your $7k.. going to court will take forever if you win..since from what i read you only have an old "dodgy" pink slip but i dont know how you can rely on that..? even though its a major problem over xxx period...

i mean if i sold my car with a 6 month old dodgy rwc..wouldnt mean much since its only valid for 30days regardless if its an ongoing issue your purchase wasnt based on that pink slip..

good luck anyway

Saw a merc gullwing, lotus esprit turbo, Porsche gt3rs and the first petrol car haha. He actually had it running and was driving around the car show. 2HP of fury
