Was there a ralliart edition ... Just looks like he has bought some stickers and put em on ...

I thought if there was it would have had a mivec engine ...

No

No there wasnt in Japan at least. i think the UK had one in the end (but it certainly wasnt a 95 model). The unfortunate thing is that this guy was probably sold the car with the same line....

Dont get me wrong, im not saying there is anything wrong with the car. I quite like the Bozz front bar actually. But certainly wouldnt go for something with that many kms. It may be OK, but cars with that many kms will rattle like a b@#$$@#d. Youd be disappointed I think.

the words are there no reserve ether he means it or its a trick

no reserve is like a good way to shoot urself int he foot or a good way to sell a lemon

Yeah thats not a terribly good idea, however what I've found with most No Reserve auctions is that someone wants the item properly and puts their maximum bid in at the last minute, so he could get something decent for it.

Yep, the last minute bidders will strike on that one...

just read through it all... it really does seem like there is a lot of bs there... :?

either he is trying to pwn off a lemon or he was really stupid and actually believes what he's saying 8O :?

Maybe a little of both ...

I was thinking of asking him a couple of questions about it, but couldn't really be bothered... Maybe pose as a buyer ... Ask some questions about it, and see how he answers...

I did

I did and copped a diatribe. Honestly believes it it something other than a GR with some aftermarket work done and a couple of ralliart stickers. I just didnt want some poor kid who just parted with their cash to be disappointed.

Hmm ... Well lets hope it goes for next to nothing then .. I would hate to see someone get ripped off too ...

The Bid ID's are kept private too ... So you can't warn buyers... I guess you could send the info to ebay and get them to warn the buyers...

I can just see it though ...

ahahha to aza and his FTO Crew rock up idea! :D

and
GROUP BUY on ralliart stikers. !!

didnt u read his post on ebay... ralliart can sell upward of $20'000 more then the base model..

if i do my cacluations correctly..... we could run a group buy.. add postage, substract discount, divide by bullsh*t would mean we could all upgrade to ralliart for a small $16'450 by my calculations.
that means we would be MAKING 4000 or so.. whos in?

Ebay seller 'entrupy' is collecting the funds to organise it all.. !! :roll: :roll:

sigh at ebay liar!
