Hey guys

Carsales ad (http://www.carsales.com.au/used-cars/private/HONDA/ACCORD_EURO/details.aspx?__sid=119AFAF6A18E&Cr=0&__Ns=pCar_Price_Decimal%7C0%7C%7CpCar_PrivateSpeci alFlag_Int32%7C1%7C%7CpCar_ImageCount_Int32%7C1&State=New%20South%20Wales&distance=25&silo=1003&seot=0&__Nne=20&Model=ACCORD%20EURO&R=5043813&__N=4294965322%2080%20748%20497%204294965100+834+2 85+257&trecs=27&Make=HONDA&state_id=80&sort_type=2)

I've been hunting around for a euro my06 and came across this one. It's clearly around 5 grand cheaper than the other similar examples.

I've called and he says he's the second owner.

Will be doing a REVS check but till then, is there anything else i should be careful of?

Anyone had a look at this in person?

Cheers

looks pretty clean from the pics, but check everything to the last detail.

Check the paintwork for inconsistancies in the orange peel, that'll tell you whether if it's been resprayed which is a sign of an accident occuring before.

stupid suggestions on a public forum guys.

Its a repairable write off....its what happens when a car is repaired without insurance, or when bought from teh auctions.

Case closed
