am considering buying this or bidding on it, havent hpid it yet the reg no is T547 BFE
anyonw know this car at all? & why are RB5's so cheap at the moment?

 

i was thinking the same thing!

there are 3 on ebay for less than 8k!!

guess no ones buying them?
no bids either!

 

well ive contacted the guy on the one above as im interested in it, but. hes had it 2 months, he has no log book yet? he has 2 other cars for sale on ebay, he says hes not a dealer though, he said he wants 8K, then in the next breath dropped to 7600 for cash, then he said that its got a 600 stereo which hes taking out, then he said hed leave it in? am i being to cautious or do i just go & buy it after work this eve, when something seems to be too good to be true it always is no? it just feels a bit wrong?

 

:d

go have a look if there is a v5 etc which seems legit, then it may be a bargain?

 

A 1999 with an induction kit ...

Look out MAF :EEK:

 

exactly what i thought, i questioned him on the induction & apparently its just a panel filter? there is no v5 or green strip?????????????? after 2 months of ownership??????????? seems a bit suss.

 

no log book = no interest

If no Ownership documents then walk away - it's not worth the risk - especially on Ebay !!!

 

Look here to check

Maybe someone knows it.

HPI check?

 

Looks like a old bumper on it and not a MY99 one. crashed?

 

yup wrong bumper

its a stinker

 

Yes it is the old bumper but I can't remember when they changed over

 

MY98 bumper. The MY99 cars should have the newer style.

MY98



MY99



the RB5 is a MY99 car.

leave this one well alone!!

 

it's not got rb5 stickers on the wings

 

or the correct steering wheel

 

consider it left cheers guys

 

Oh dear It's had a hard front hit then and taken out both wing's bumper etc and the airbag then It's not even been repaired properly using the correct bits so god knows what else is wrong

 

looks like a DIY repair to avoid going through the insurance.

looks like met owes a few people a beer

 

Is the rear spoiler suspect as well? Doesnt look like an RB5 to me im afraid.

 

that is the rb5 standard spoiler. the wr sport rb5 has a high spoiler with a brakelight in the spoiler blade.

 

def saved me journey to view it, thanks for all the useful info gents

 

you mean hasn't used the correct rb5 parts, it could be a perfetct stuctual repair, just not with RB5 bits, a writtern off car can be rebuilt better than the original, i'm not saying this car is perfect, but just adding my 2p worth!

 

can't see it being a quality repair when the bumber used was <my98. the rb5 front bumper is nothing special therefore any my98-99-00 bumper will do. but they didn't even get that right. with this level of attention to detail i cannot imagine the repair was up to much.

 

totally agree. do a job do it right......... that is anything but!

 

Here here! Especially with a limited edition that should theoretically have stronger residuals, therefore making it authentic is paramount.

Repaired with wrong bumper, wrong steering wheel, no decals etc points to a bodge job IMHO.

See my recent thread here regarding RB5 values.

If this car were straight, it would sell in a heart-beat. You have had a lucky escape matey!

 

That doesn't look like a quality repair to me I wouldn't touch it with your barge poll

 

Some top quality detective work my some scoobynetters there.

Good work guys. Saved the man alot of time and money.
