Helping A Mate With A Fpv Purchase

[snoopin99]

Hasn't been repaired yet, it's in the panel shop now. Didn't think to take photo's or to grab the VIN (What a brain fade!)

To me, its a car to fully avoid, it/was rooted. Unless you want a cheap buy.

Was written off in NSW on 31/01/07 as a repairable write off. But their systems are stricter, so the car was sold and moved to Melb.

Damage is listed as:

Driver and Passenger front - Heavy

Driver and Passenger side - light

Driver and Passenger rear - light

Engine - Major

Interior - Major - Most likely airbags

Sounds like it hit something hard, probably the car in front of it, and was lightly tail ended by the car behind it.

First attempted VIV was in the 23/05/07 and it failed. Receipts provided for FRONT CUT, front and rear bumpers, bonnet, boot, spoiler, cooler, radiators and some engine work. Reason for failure was that it required a structural repair report with full measurement because of the front cut and airbag light still on.

Car passed VIV on 31/05/07, which is when it was reregistered, and obviously when the rego runs out. Which is a week away, not August as the ad states.

So probably good for a cheapie, but has a bad past.
