I'm not sure if it's been posted before

Each to their own I guess but omg why would you do that to an FTO. I wouldn't take this thing if it was free

I have seen this auction finish about 10 times and it only ever gets as high as $5000 and reserve not met :roll:
I think he wants about $16,000 :lol:

TBH if he got rid of the wheels it's probably not so bad, but no way he's ever gonna get $16K for it :lol:

It's not even registered or RWC!

What you all dont know is that people are actually that fucked up they think that all that sh*t on there is 'cool' or whatever so oneday, someone who thinks giant chrome dish wheels, purple custom airbrushes, cannons, chevy badges etc are plain awesome and will save a good years centrelink money to try and buy this (or steal it)
Just unfortunate that one of the unlucky victims of this 'swag' attack was an fto :(

RIP Fto, RIP :cry: :cry:

I really don't know what goes through someone's head when they decide to pay big money to make the FTO look worse. That is also true for a lot of mods. How can you think spending money like this makes it an "improvement" and better than the stock car? :\

He states that there is a few things on the car, but has no detail or photos to back them up -

Custom boot install - but no pics or describing what sound system or anything - nothing.
Custom headlights....they look pretty stock to me - the insert is still black as well, maybe he thinks a few HID bulbs or something makes it custom???
Doesnt state what coilovers he has, what the new brakes and tyres are.
Car doesnt come with RWC, and states 'minor finishing' but has zero info on what is this 'minor finishing' required.
No pictures of engine bay at all.
Has illegal wheels on it (only allowed 18" max) and i bet you 50k and my left nut they scrape like a bitch
Doesnt state the model, could be a GS for all we know
Has numerous spelling mistakes and capital colored block writing for the description that looks like a 5yr old made.


EVEN ignoring the horrific look of the car, inside and out AND the rims i still wouldnt waste my time enquiring even if it was as low as 3k, not to mention 16k. Any body who knows anything about cars will laugh at this guy in the face for wanting more than 5-6k max assuming the person likes the sh*t done to it. It boggles me how someone could do this in the first place let alone try and sell it for such a high price.


And Matt - seriously? :slap: + :spew: + :tard: + :facepalm2:

It was meant to be a show car, and probably around the time that it was built up was that 90's street race, show n shine era.
