Default Would this car be a good buy?

http://carpoint.ninemsn.com.au/Deskt...ias=carpointau

I didnt know where else to put this but do you think this would be a good car to
get?
km's are good and so's the price, but the bonnet doesnt look to good in terms
of the fit, eg there might have been a crash...

Hopefully you guys can help...

Thanks in Advance

The bonnet might be just open on the safety catch, you'd struggle to think a crash repair could leave it fitting that badly.

It looks to be fairly nice mate (for the price, km's and options), but you can only see so much from pics etc... better get her tested by someone just to make sure it hasn't been in an accident.

kays are good, price is right up there, and it has Fairmont leather seats instead of the XR ones i think... Just to compare this one here
30 000 more kays but the 17's, full kit, momo wheel, and the VCT engine for $1000 less

Its just the bonnet catch making it stick up a little bit: The bonnet obviously has not been closed properly after he took the engine bay photos.

I would be going for the one that Racecraft mentioned, seems like a good buy.

Just looks like the bonnet is open to me mate. Not a bad deal either.
