First of all thank for Bennoz for allowing the post. ;)

Hi guys,

Yeah, my car is up for sale due to laid off from work and i no longer have the time and money to fix it up anymore.

Model : FTO (GR)
Transmision: 4 speed tip tronic
ODO:148K
Colour : Ferrari Red
Price 3,700AUD (Firm)

Car has no Rego or RWC

What I had done
1) car dash was striped off for rewire ( Due to battery losing power because of faulty cd player) $500
2) Roof Rust was repaired and resprayed ($700)

The goods
1)all electronics works, other then the cd player i throw off.
2)No leaks
3)low ks
4)transmision shift well
5)full Vielside BodyKit

The problems
1)foggy head lights

Well, I have throw $1,200 to fixed up the car and yet i selling for only 3.7K you can buy it and convert it to manual or change the engine if you want. This price is like wracked price even cheaper to buy an old camry. Sorry i'm not able to negotiate with the price as i had bought it for 3.5k and spend 1.2k on it. 3.7K is reasonable.

yeah, i'm the buyer, and now i'm selling it as i got laid off from work. I had dumped money on it fixing the roof rust and rewire the dash total of 1.2K. I have no choice now to sell it as bills is chasing me to the edge. selling it for 3.7K considering i had dumped in 1.2K to fixed it up. it's a steal mate, trust me i wouldn't want to sell her but i have no choice. if this doesn't sell by this end of the month i will shot myself with the bills i need to pay.

seriously i want to keep it, but i am running around the town like a bee looking for jobs, it's end of the year and most of the ppl just tell me the will ring me but nothing happened at all.

my bills is coming up end of the month and if i unable to pay i'm in serious trouble. i'm seriously push till the edge man.

i even need buyer to provide $1500AUD as deposit or else i don't even have the money to fix the car.

yeah, that's how bad my situation are. The car currently hold a FAILED RWC test and i had the papers and things to fix for RWC cost 1,200 to 1,300. so make your move fast guys! :D

i have a buyer is willing to buy at $5000AUD with RWC ready, coming this saturday.

I hope to get more but as i don't lie or try rip ppl off so yea, selling at that price and see her goes is really devastating for me. :cry:

yeah, that's how bad my situation are.

so yea, i'm losing a lot of money or else i will be facing a few lawsuits soon. :(
