Default WARNING: Dodgy ED XR8 Sprint for sale in NSW

There is a wholesaler in NSW currently selling an ED XR8 SPRINT on ebay that is a 'repairable writeoff'

No Problem- apart from the fact he will not disclose to you that it is in fact a repaiable writeoff and hasn't had a VIV also doesnt disclose the VIN.

In other words this vehicle may end up costing a few grand more than just the buy price - Please be careful!! I don't want to see someone get ripped off.

It's not by accident that these important details are being left off as i have emailed and spoken to this guy a few times and he is just out to scam someone.

It is a Poly Green 1994 model, Auto

I will post the VIN of the vehicle and specifics of the seller if mods want me to

Realising the potential for this thread to go seriously downhill, it has been closed.
The above highlights the importance for buyers of used cars to do thorough checks on potential purchases, regardless of what the vehicle is, but especially so with collectable vehicles such as the Sprint mentioned in this thread.
