Maybe it wasn't quite the bargain it seemed.
I'd avoid buying anything that has ever passed through there tbh.

Well the fact Webber is looking to offload it so sharpish doesn't fill me with confidence. I'd have bought to sell too but that's because I've already got a jdm sti. All that glitters is not always gold.

I want to off load it because I will make money for a change simple. If you look at the earlier posts I was out to buy a Uk Sti, so this was an unexpected bonus. My previous 2 cars were a Evo 8 MR FQ 320 50k miles which was sold for 10200 and exported to Germany. Before that a immaculate Wr1 with 73k miles that sold for £8700 and then relisted 1 week later for £10495 and sold within days. As you can see if i sell anything its fair just this time i got lucky.

Fact as they said they had calls as soon as they opened the very next day. Some of which were Scoobynet members. The rep even had text from someone stating what the car was.

Fair play to Webber, I had the first opportunity to buy this but was too much of a scaredy cat to commit and resell, especially if it meant my funds were tied up when a UK STI came about.

Hurst, JPerformance et al are doing this day in day out, so I'm happy to see a fellow member make a few quid for himself

Reference it not even being valeted, I can attest to that too. I even had the garage ringing the previous owner to firm up details.

I will annoy Webber though and say I had the price down £500 less than what he paid because I scared them when I started saying the dials had been changed Still got a bargain mate

That was me, felt awful I made them think they had bought a dodgy car, ended up telling them it was JDM and very saleable. The git never did respond to thank me mind!

Lol oHUTCHYo I am fine with it and thanks for the clarification. There was a point when I was sat in the showroom that I thought they was not going to sell it to me. As like I pointed out before people were giving them more info on the car, and the situation was changing by the minute.

Hope you get what you want mate

Ste, the clocks werent changed but the garage didnt know it was a JDM so I used it against them, clearly they looked online at a UK spec and realised indeed the clocks were different. Basically they didnt know what they had and what it was worth, hence Webber getting a bargain. My first widetrack was a part ex from a garage who only dealt in Audi/VW - it pays to take the mick if they are too silly to educate themselves on the cars they try to sell.
