The thing is most of the people who buy from these places are unsuspecting people and more-often-than-not are not aware of their rights, actions they can take, etc, etc. So as a result - they tend to be taken advantaged of.

I'm merely generalising and not trying to offend :)

Case in point. This guy who apparently did "no research" and looked at "zero" cars and purchased this white 1 from Ed Lees

Sinno, just curious as to how you got the actual km travelled of the Edward Lees car? i am really tempted to comment on that youtube video to warn any potential buyers. this sort of thing really grinds my gears

Currently searching for a white vspec II and saw this one pop up this morning on carsales.

Judging by location the photos were taken, appears to be from Sports Auto Group (Although shop logo has been blurred?).

I'm only suspecting, previous front end hit? Bonnet does not appear to line up and painted radiator support?

Curious if anyone is able to provide any insight?

Thanks.

Just an FYI - dealers aren't allowed to have any signage whatsoever in the pictures that go on CarSales that indicates where the car is located. It's classified as marketing and a dealers agreement with Carsales/Autogate can be at risk for it since they aren't paying for the marketing just the advert.

But yeah shit that bonnet looks like it's popped, they'd wanna be selling it dirt cheap when it looks like that..

    • The above video is working normally. That is, that's how the right hand indicator should cancel when rotating the wheel left.
    • I noticed that I could see creatures on the moon when I turned my new headlights on. I thought I should check the alignment. It's pretty rudimentary but I just grabbed some dry wall and put it against my tablet and made sure the beam was below the height on the headlights. Ie the beam is at 600mm on my car, I just made it lower than that 7.5m away.  Not the best but it'll do until I can do it properly at the local shops.   
    • As @Duncan said - the bores are most likely to cop it. But anything can and does happen. Rods are cheap. Rods are good. The work to rebuild the motor will be 30x the price of rods. You won't notice it.
    • Yeah car has 110 on the clock. That said the front turbo (that exploded) doesn't seem to be the original, it has a S1 part number but the car is a series 3. Yep, in the cat is where I first found the turbine wheel pieces - a couple decent sized ones, then a whole lot of fragments.  I agree, probably makes sense to upgrade parts that are being replaced. Things like rods would be 'nice' but realistically it seems unlikely they would need replacing. I was hoping that it was a case that they generally f**k up the valves but not the bore, or vice versa. Is it generally the scour damage rather than ceramic bits getting mashed into the piston tops / valves? I tried a search but couldn't find any threads with pics from the guts of a motor that's had this happen. 
    • Front seats now in, fixing a little rust then front doors sealed up again finished. had to install a fire extinguisher within arms distance of drivers seat for hill climb regulations. little bit of good old silo diff action lol IMG_9146.mov
