Plates seem new in terms of number sequence.. ie might have been recently re-registered? unfortunately a VIN check costs nowadays.

Wonder how much it might go for.. pity it's not Arden blue :)

[btm]

someone could pick up a bargain here!

shame about the front bar though

[Calibrated]

:O


that is so rediculously tempting to bid on...

[Calibrated]

i'll watch it up to 10k.. :D

[Calibrated]

Prices based on km 80,000 - 130,000 Trade in price guide* $15,000 - $16,900 National average price - private sale* $18,500 - $20,800 Price when new (RRP) $36,990

[Wraith]

Far out, that is cheap....even if it gets to 10k, it's still dirt cheap...it's only got 65,000km

That aftermarket front bar seems to be popping up alot lately, or is this a TS turbo we've seen before :confused:

[Dee]

[maloo97]

[glider]

i'd hate to see something such good value goto a non-oa owner

[Misguidedangel]

why don't you buy it then?

[glider]

[Snotty]

its not really good value until the hammer falls - price dependant. over the next 6 days, the price is almost certain to atleast double.

best thing to do is no one bid and snipe it at the end, but people are too stupid, they like to see their name on the highest bidder list for 5mins before they're outbid, and start a bidding war with some other idiot, and the only thing they accomplish is driving up the price for the winner.

[Calibrated]

im just gonna watch it... like a hawk..

[Keep'emRunning]

hey don't forget my commision guys :D

still seems a bit good to be true.., be very wise to run a vin check and suss out the logbooks first!

[Shaun]

CHEAP ... I would even consider buying it ... if it dosent go over the 8-10k mark

[SSS_Hoon]

Its that cheap that even i am watching it...

True that.....and what also happens is if the owner's shifty too, he'll come in at the eleventh hour and bid on it as well, further raising the price...

:eek: damn... it must be cheap then :p

[CNBLU]

wonder if its had the 60k major service. Cheap dosent always mean a good deal.

[Dee]

the pictures of the logbook shows that it has... the next page in there is the 75,000km service

[Ice]

i saw that dee but its just been stamped. What i was refering to was the cam belt and water pump been replaced or has was it missed. Surely there must be a reason why they are selling for so low.

Why wouldn't a chick have those floor mats??? not all chicks like pink fluffly things and hello kitty...

ahh see, you didn't ask that.. you asked if the 60,000km service had been done..

either way... the questions should be asked to the owner instead of the speculation in here

[CNBLU]

[mr corsa]

bid in for new daily driver shit box :p

[SaInT]

8.1k still cheap as chips atm.

[Wraith]

8.1k still cheap as chips atm.

I'm sure it'll rise sharply in the last few hrs of bidding - I reckon every 2nd new bid will be a bogus one by the owner ;)

thats illegal, and if he does that, eBay will nail him.

[Wraith]

How would they ever know ???

He can log in as someone else, or a completely different identity - it's been done before, I'm sure thousands of people have cheated this way on ebay...

Or he can get a friend to place bogus bids for him !!!

[blueraven]

sigh.. just another car possibly being sold too cheap and bringing the rest down.

[Keep'emRunning]

if the owner or his friends are putting in bogus bids and win, he'll have to pay ebay fees, and is still left with a car that hasn't sold.

BlueRaven, does that mean your car will be ~10k soon? I'd be real interested in that! :)

[Wraith]

if the owner or his friends are putting in bogus bids and win, he'll have to pay ebay fees, and is still left with a car that hasn't sold.

LOL yes I know and I'm sure that's happened before too :D

[Snotty]

sometimes its better to lose money on the fees, than to lose alot more on selling the car too cheap

[mr corsa]

$11,100 way to much now

[nicecar]

If Bidder 5 is the bogus bid he has done well so far, it Bidder 10 is the bogus bid he is in the s*it!

Still cheap, but not petty cash cheap anymore! bummer lol. Was told today this car has been for sale for ages on caresales.com. Not sure if that is true or not.

[Snotty]

well it ended up going for about the right that id expect to pay, from a sellers point of view, a couple more grand would've been good.

[blueraven]

what was the final figure?
.. i cant see ebay at work...

[Snotty]

$16,211

[blueraven]

yeah..not a bad price for ebay, and more than they would have got if they had sold it to a dealer.

[btm]

i think the seller should be happy with that price!

[Ajay]

and im happy with the price too :D
