Simple job of pulling of the sump and checking to see if it has had rods and pistons done.

Henz Tampon inserted, Auto Acquired, next purchase a new handbag Donating Members 9,946 Member For: 17y 1m 25d 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.
