Service Records, if aftermarket parts are used, did he source them or were they fitted to the car when he purchased the car?
Any problems with the car?
Any prior accidents (Minor to Major)?
If one or the other, ask him what was damage? Who did the repairs?
Will the car receive a RWC upon purchase of vehicle (this will also tell a story behind the vehicle as most owners who know there car won't meet the standards will try make excuses blah blah)
Then again there a some genuine reason for having no RWC, some modifications won't pass unless you get a dodgy lol.

Check oil leaks, smoke from the exhaust (colour in particular).
Check everything works. Check tyre tread, how long rego left.

Anything that comes to mind dude, just ask.

What state you in? Got a link to the car so we can look @ it?

Maybe because I don't know my market and price, but the price seems a little low? even the quoted price at the bottom of the comment, but again he could just be a realist and that's an actual firm price, still a little low to me but yea. It'd be cool of some guys on here can vouch for him?

If he just recently replaced brakes pads and it's been well maintained, don't see why RWC would be an issue? Again maybe he really is that busy

I can't see any rego dates, maybe it's nearly up, hence the lower price and all, but to me that price + nego = abit good to be true, that's just my 2c and that's what I see when looking at this ad.

And yea when you go to check it make sure you at least check the things on WATAJK's list. Goodluck :)

I would have a good look at that asin look over it closely....
Anything that seems to good to be true generally is >.>
I Paid $23,950 for my MR 2002 DC5R from a DEALER. 98,*** on the clock.... No problems apart from a starter motor but this is a common fault
Hope that helps
