Simple job of pulling of the sump and checking to see if it has had rods and pistons done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henz Tampon inserted, Auto Acquired, next purchase a new handbag Donating Members 9,946 Member For: 16y 8m 22d Gender: Male Location: Vic Posted 07/11/10 03:48 AM Share Posted 07/11/10 03:48 AM (edited) My little brother was looking at a ute on carsales, no contact number so he emailed them with some questions. A few weeks went buy, this ute us still sitting there and whoever put the add has dropped the price $3k. So he calls carsales to ask for thirst number, they say it's a scam and delete it. Anyway, then the ute pops up on eBay, with a bit more info than before. My brother rings up, this time gets through. We go have a look, so the ute is real, but sold the next day. Anyway then he gets a email back from the carsales add, saying they're out of the county bla bla bla, but he can buy it safely through eBay. They sent him a link to a eBay page that says you pay for the car, then it gets shipped to you, and if after a week you don't like it they will pick the car up and transfer back money. Obviously it was a scam, but I'm sure there are people out there nieve enough to fall for it and think there getting a good deal. I don't think I could ever hand out a large Ammount of money sight unseen etc. Although I have spent 8k on eBay, but I spent 100 on a plane ticket and went n had a look.
