Title: Another go
Post by: pauls on 04 November 2014, 11:01:33
Anybody want to have a go.. Relisted down to £1250. Irmscher stuff and wheels must be worth that

This was put up on the forum a week or two ago, I think it 'does the rounds' so to speak. It's not run in a year, and as mentioned above, has at least 1 issue. It's not the car per se, that's the issue, it's the slight dishonesty from the seller that I think get's people's suspicions raised, if not their backs up.

Anything from refitting the sensor arm through to new headlight motors, via headlight ecu and associated wiring ::)
Only takes one button press to clear the message from the display, so the seller isn't technically hiding the issue, but equally they aren't exactly forthcoming either... if there's one message on the MID there could easily be others :-\

Is it unreasonable to expect someone asking 5-6 times the value of the car (with no MoT, Irmscher stuff notwithstanding) to list all the fault codes/error messages plus any known or suspected faults ::)

Best way to approach this particular car is as a full Irmscher kit with a free 2.6 Omega bolted to it :y

My drive is 16' wide and 28' long, so I only have space for two projects :'(

Drive is just long enough for an Omega and a Yaris, with the Omega pinning the Yaris to the garage door :D

Easily worth that for the irmy stuff. But it's moving it without tax and mot that's the bugger. Unless you know someone with trade plates/tow car and trailer/license they don't need....?
