New to FTO

Post by MYFTO »

Hi There, I am Sharon, I have wanted an FTO for the past 5 years and finally decided to buy one. I got totally ripped off from a licensed Motor Vehicle dealer and that car was a right off, I went to get a warrant and was told by the guy I purchased the car from that it needed a tyre, when I took it through the warrant it failed badly, it had been in a few accidents and needed the cross member replaced and also front and rear chassie straightening, which means a Cert, I was so dissapointed, I had two quotes to fix this car, the first was for $3,800 and the second was $5,000 so I am now selling it for parts to try and get some money back. I decided to get another RED FTO from a different person and now I am really happy, I love it!!

How much did you pay for it?

Well, It was de-registered and the man told me that it needed a tyre, because we were not able to see the car, I believed him, silly me. When it arrived we started to put money into it to get a warrant so we spent around $3200 altogether. I would never get any car again without seeing it. We are now selling parts to get some money back as we have purchased another FTO now. I am loving it. After 5 long years of wanting one, I am now really happy with the one we have now purchased. I went and seen it first and took it to a garage to get checked.

Hindsight, she's a beautiful thing. I know how it feels, my first motorbike was a major lemon. If it got any more lemon I'd have had to register it as a road juice :(
