Default BEWARE SCOOBY HATCH.

Just a quick heads up on this hatch thats being sold at the moment, its a damaged repairable that`s being SOLD as a straight car as no damage details were recorded.
The left front strut was ripped of the car during impact and there was a hole right through the quarter panel.
Front air bags were deployed during the accident.

car has been repaired but no inspection report was done for the car, i am also led to believe it didnt go on a bench which it should have.
quarter panel was filled and not replaced, front caliper was sourced second hand and painted "black" as it was an early gold caliper.
strut is supposed to be new but he got 1 second hand from england.
head cloth was replaced second hand.
car was supposed to have been sold to a customer here in england last week but its still on there forecourt
Front left hand strut is sitting about 2" out of position.
Engine has been replaced at some time and there are 5 owners on it.

e-bay link below to dealer.
Dealer will say its not him selling it but an employee !!
As this is supposed to come over to the uk i thought i would hopefully give the guy a heads up.

I feel sorry for the poor punter that's going to end up buying this.
It's not even particularly cheap at that price. Selling on behalf of someone else is an old one too.
In other words if anything goes wrong, you're fcucked.

At least £4.5k overpriced with that spec. They'll need to find the 'one born yesterday' to sell at that price.
