Wow, that was a difficult ad to read. iR8V10 pretty much summed it up. I wouldn't touch that car, but if you are local why not.

Bollocks as in no way it's 660 bhp. No mention of bigger turbos which you can't fit as there is no room around the gearbox unless you manual it. Uprated Lamborghini brakes....... The calipers are the same as the standard 8 pots. 215mph please....

Shop sums this up, just down the road , despite the claims, if it's a plus, good nick, and had some major works done recently it still could be a good buy.

Who the hell would even entertain considering that dump?? The owner knows feck all about the car by the sounds of it so I wouldn't trust a word they say. Where is it located?
previous- Pug 205 gti, 306 gti, 309 gti Goodwood.
Audi S3, S4 V8 avant.
Porsche Macan Turbo.
Gone but NEVER forgotten - C5 RS6 Misano red avant.

Now - Empty garage

If you don't know where you're going, any road will take you there!

Oh, thought it was going to be somewhere else. Either way, I wouldn't touch it.

Yes could very well be a shitter but I know what to look for. Let's see if he is able to reply to my email first. Interestingly he says <beep> all about service history, and removed how many owners from the auction.

Yes, even "Full History" almost always turns out to be a 6 year old receipt for a can of oil from Halfords and an MOT from 2008 so no mention of it at all is a very bad sign. Still, nothing ventured, nothing gained. Just don't listen to a single word the vendor will tell you.

And make sure it really is a plus. The plusses have a 99 before the last 5 numbers of the VIN IIRC.

Someone on here from Christchurch had a 6 for sale in the last 12 months . they was after strong money but i cant remember the users name .

Surprised there are no detailed pictures in the ad, or none of the inside of the car either

"Solar panel sun roof so if out on hot day it will run air con and keep car cool at all times or set it hot for winter"

Wow, it even heats the air when the engines not been running all day :bowdown: . will have to email the seller to ask how thats done..

Have a look , but be open minded !
