Yeh not the same km's / maybe condition but whats potentially many more smiles per more miles driven worth to you. DHM doing the PPI???

Your obviously going to be drive it and not worry too much about polishing it with that response PS the only thing missing on that advertised list is a tune as I see it. Who knows but, if the boost gauge goes over 0.7bar (more than stock and most probably tuned) your in for a bonus treat. If not, I reckon thats the only thing to do after your sort out the PPI reported stuff and you won't be disappointed with your decision of not snoozing with whacking that deposit down Sov 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did the same.👍 By chance did you get to check out the under hood code label? It gives you all the codes for factory fitted accessories. C23 is the Oz delivery code. hope the PPI checks out without any major issues, I’m loving mine 😊 Sov 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He repainted the car because he “didn’t like silver”. It also had a number of major electrical issues required a lot of time and money to rectify. Too many stories.

JLD Posted 22July, 2021 Report Share Posted 22July, 2021 all good. I just assumed he'd dropped the price because it has a higher price in the ad text... Has anyone called? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were there more details on previous ads - anyway thanks for the alert: Where did you find the Vin number and rego? Did you have to pay, to "buy" them & check them out?
