just annoys me that people don't take the time to advertise their cars correctly; 5 minutes on the net would tell them what's actually fitted!!

you guys are saying what im thinking, we'll see today what this car is actually like, as from my experiance photos hide a multitude of sins (they only show you the nice bits). I was thinking that about the rear valance is it from the 4motion v6? mileage doesnt put me off, as i bought my last one withe 100 something on the clock and she was a gem *sigh

Yep v6 4motion, needed to fit the rear twin exhaust.

Well went to look at the car this afternoon, all the mods were nice and i was impressed by the drive (first experiance of jabba Remap) although wasnt as smooth as the ol' customcode, but all in all there were quite a few things wrong, large strip of rust located underneath the wiper on the tailgate, multiple chips around all the arches (too many to ignore) and inside the driver seat was bobbled to hell and back and had duct tape holding a rip in it. After a long convo with the guy it became apparent that he wasnt gonna budge on price much. On one hand getting all those mods thrown in was a good thing but on the other I set out to find a car that was as good in quality as mine and that means the interior exterior everything!
and it was a 2000 so no AUM  :tongue:

So in the end i walked away as i felt that the mods didnt justify the lack of quality to be found throughout, and in my gut i want a car that is standard so i can build it up, dont want a ragged turbo!

so as the title says the hunt continues  :laugh: any leads please let me know!
