What do you guys think of this car?

Post by Technikhaus »

As title says, i'm interested in this, any thoughts?
Looks quite nice, and is a decent price too.
Might see if i can take a look at it next week, as it's not too far from me I think.

The clicking aircon isn't a big deal (easy fix), just make sure there isn't rust on the roof.

from what he has told me, the exterior is perfect except for a few paint chips, and a couple of small scratches.
Got my mate nick to go have a look at one in Auckland today, from the TradeMe images, it looked fine.
He got there to find that it was covered in rust :lol:

Anyone know what would cause the ticking in the aircon?

A gear in the mechanism that switches between fresh and recirculated air has lost a tooth, there is a fix for it somewhere here.
