The advice that you are being told by the worry warts is hearsay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest XR09 Guests Posted 26/01/11 12:50 AM Share Posted 26/01/11 12:50 AM Or it could have been submerged. Like flooded. They will write off a car that has. And I personally would not buy one. Nothing is for nothing. Bris will have a big auction soon with all the cars that got flooded. A whole lotta nightmares there with people thinking they got a bargin. Only to have something that will never work well again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been offered a fg xr6 turbo which was a repairable write off now fully repaired registered for a cheap price the car has only 16,000 on clock, brembo brakes and 2010 model , should I buy this car and if yes for how much. All view's are welcome . Thanks in advanceIf its an FG XRt and it's got Factory Brembos on it, then it is most likly a cop car anyway.I believe when it goes over the pits to be re-registered the repair list is checked off against the car and all repairs are inspected before it is passed.

Only a few small things that you can expect for a 140,000km car, I think it was a finance repo but im not sure why it was written off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
