I'm obviously going to check it out or get it checked out but just trying to get an idea.I'm still on carsales every freakin day trying to find a ute that fits the bill and it's not easy. Are there any other avenues I should be searching? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maximus Member 1,627 Member For: 18y 24d Gender: Male Location: Slip Sliding Away Posted 14/01/10 08:31 AM Share Posted 14/01/10 08:31 AM Looks like that front wheel has taken a pounding and he hasn't really looked after it the way Mark did.In saying that all it needs is a good wash/polish and that wheel fixed and she's all good.No way it is worth what he is asking but I think if you could get it for $21500 and get it polished thru Final Inspection ($350) and a new rim you'll be laughing.

Motorbikes are more my forte (I need the ute to cart them around)...I'll throw this guy an offer and see how I go, failing that, the search continues!to think I almost bought a 6lt SS :X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of the trick to haggling is that you have to be prepared to call his bluff walk away. There are plenty of cars for sale and there always will be. If there isn't anything else around that suits you at the moment, just wait a couple of weeks! How many buyers does he have lined up? None at that price point! If he is actually serious about selling it, he may well be in touch in a few weeks. Edited 17/01/10 08:27 AM by craiginmackay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitch179 Member 30 Member For: 17y 2m 24d Posted 17/01/10 08:58 AM Author Share Posted 17/01/10 08:58 AM I think he wants big money for it because its modded, but mods just dint your back pocket they don't up the resale from my experiences!I'm back to looking for another one, I'll probably end up stepping for a stocker and just pile up the parts over time to give it a bit more stick!

Maximus Member 1,627 Member For: 18y 24d Gender: Male Location: Slip Sliding Away Posted 17/01/10 09:16 AM Share Posted 17/01/10 09:16 AM Mitch this guy has been TRYING to sell if for about 6 weeks now.For $25K you would want it EXACTLY the way it was when it was sold to him. Immaculate and well looked after.Seeing it now filthy dirty makes me wonder why do I try and keep my car looking nice when once I sell it the person might not care and treat it like crap.He must be in money trouble as he was trying to sell his bike at the same time.He bought it modded so he doesn't need to try and recoup any money back on it.Give him a call in another month when it will still be for sale and offer him the same again or leave your number and tell him your offer is there if he wants to sell it.He might just take it as no-one in their right mind will be paying $26K for it.
