Eh, I couldn't be passionate about driving a train around all day, even if the pay is great. 

Also have to deal with the public way too much (help disabled passengers on, probably deal with snotty kids etc.)

It's kinda got to the point it is more advertised in other areas as well rather than a mainstream car site.

 

try finding a cefiro on car sales..just not there they on FB groups forums and such now as free.

so they end up with a few dream boats that suddenly think something is rare and put price up..does not mean they are getting that price.

That is true... I know a number of import owners too tightassed to pay for advertising. Then complain when they get offered significantly less because the only other price reference is other facebook cars.

mainly as they expect to get low balled by flogs....

so say you want 30K for it, you know they are going to offer 50% so you need to advertise 40K + to be able to start negotiations.

 

yet you see the cars that are advertised correctly with a reasonable price sell quickly (and prob get spammed by flogs at same time)

I disagree - deterring genuine buyers with high prices in order to appeal to low ballers / dreamers doesn't scream sound logic to me

The sellers control the commodity price and the buyers determine if it changes hands, and unlike Cobra replicas these are changing hands

Even if sellers don't get their asking prices, these are still a good indicator of appreciation given carsales and the forums were littered with asking prices in the low 20s a year ago

The guy we bought the Cube from had it on car sales for a month, gumtree and eventually 2 auctions on eBay. (He ended the second one early for us to buy it on the spot) apparently he had flogs low balling him all the time, but also people saying they want it and agreeing to a price then never turning up. Import cars regardless need to come with a disclaimer "expect low ballers and flogs"

Anna, it isn't the case for imports. Essentially with cars in general.

I'm currently selling my Golf R and I've had weird SMS of lowballing and request me to deliver to them, I just ignore them. Even got a swap offer which I declined cos the car is under finance that I've stated on the ad. I think people these days aren't too keen to take their time reading the ad. 

And I've priced it at 2nd cheapest on the market in Australia judging from my current research, and I've only advertised on carsales.

I think you're forgetting the intrinsically rewarding benefit of euthanising those who've had enough

Have attended to a few of these incidents, aftermath is literally a splat. Would not be able to tell if it was a human or an animal. 

The undertaker's that come out and take the pieces away apparently makes a crap load of money.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
