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?

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.

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!
