I'm sure that car is on one of SAU's posts. Ive seen that shot before.

Anyhow, there was this true story of how a solicitor took off overseas with his secretary and relocated elsewhere, abandoning his wife and children. He sent a letter to his wife asking her to sell his 500 series AMG (which at the time was worth megabucks), split the money and send him half.

The purchaser couldn't believe his luck at buying such cheap and perfectly good luxury item.

The husband was puzzled about the wired cheque for a measley $500, probably thinking it was just a downpayment.

The wife; well she gave her share to her own family court solicitor.

HISTORY DOESN'T REPEAT ITSELF DOES IT???

Send them an email.

I'll bet they'll tell you that the car is currently overseas because they thought they could get it rego'ed over there (the address is just where they used to live), but it turns out they can't, so to recoup some of the costs they'll sell it on the cheap but you can't inspect it since it's not in Australia......

As terry says.. that car was on these forums.. like 6 months ago.. a guy on here was interested in buying it and wanted to know who owned it as it was being stored at a car yard.. from my understanding he bought the thing and was trying to off load the wheels on here..

so yes sounds like a scam

once saw an NSX for $12000.. hit him up and he said he was in italy starting for business and needed some more cash to close a deal and make him a millionaire.. upon looking at what an nsx was really worth.. up around $60000 at the time... i found the exact same car, same pictures etc... different name and contact details. haha, hit him up and never heard back.

      Rusty roof repair

      Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.

      I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent.

      Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.

      Rusty roof repair

      So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
