Vti-R Wanted, Help...

[Vvvtec]

I recon u might get the white 45k vti-r price down to 12k. Thats a very reasonable price. Go through it with a fine tooth comb and use any wear/scratches etc... as leverage.

Like Michael Katon said in The Castle: "$14k? Tell him he's dreamin'."

So I went and sussed it out today.

Good points:

-Car is straight, never been in an accident
-He chucked on some new tyres on the rear for roadworthy, along with alignment etc..(just spent $700 on service and tyres...)
-Engine bay is immaculate, looks new. No oil leaks anywhere
-Ditto with the interior, it was spotless, apart from needing a thorough clean.
-Type R wing optioned from the dealer back when he bought it in september 2000, which was nice
-ONLY 45,000 KILOMETRES!!!

Bad points:

-Car has obviously been left in the sun a fair bit, paint has lost it shine is some places, however it is NOT faded.
-a horizontal row of dents, each about 1cm in diameter about 30-40 cm's long above the right rear wheel, starting under the rear window. He blamed his little kids for that, however it didnt really bother me as with a goooood clean, it would be hardly noticeable
-Headlights are starting to fade slightly, but again nothing a good thorough clean wont fix.

Everything else on the car is perfect. Apart from those superficial things, I could hardly fault the car. As I believe Dino pointed out to make sure I check for, the antenna made the 'rat-a-tat-a-tat' noise. But apart from that, its a beauty.

Took it for a drive and it was perfect, very very smooth.

Regarding the price, I was hoping to get down around the 12k mark, even abit under. And I thought I could have done it, pointing out the dents and other faults, but as he had jsut got the roadworthy a couple days ago along with a service, adding up to over $700, he was firm at 13k, no less.

Overall, the guy was a champ, a real nice guy and it was a real pleasure to go look at his car. If he would have taken 12k I would have done it. I'll maybe go back in a month or two if I havnt found anything before then.

Going to go look at this one next:
