The interior of this 530i is in fantastic condition for 140k miles. Bit of an annoying advert and could be a little cheaper (up for 5500) but I like it alot https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/147291508627

Well gutted.

I'm walking back to the station.

Alarm bells rang when he picked me up to say when we drove it back from Aberdeen it ran great, fk, I possibly could have known that from the reg?

The two holes in the inner arches are the least of its worries. I could push my fingers through the inner sills.

MOT tester must have been blind. Genuinely feel a bit sick.

The garage seemed reasonable but he did start with the you've bought it spiel. So glad I didn't leave a deposit, still bought insurance in full though.

Ah well,, put that one to bed, Ces't La Vie

Yeah thats what put me off them too, the cheaper ones were rusting badly at times.

Its more that they last forever, if you keep them somewhere hot and dry.

You should be able to get a refund on insurance within 14 days, they moan then you tell them they can’t keep a percent cancellation fee and you eventually get it back.

Unfortunate, however now you know why they wanted you to pay a deposit.

Yep, I was fully expecting to do some welding. I specifically asked about the underneath and was told it was good.

I wouldn't have put my kids in it. I don't think a 300k south England car would look as bad as that 130k Scottish car.

Exactly. I've got the refund already so nothing more than a morning wasted and I do genuinely feel bad for welching on a deal having not viewed beforehand. Lesson learned.

They should be chucking that into a proper disposal auction I think. I know they write trade sale and everything else on the invoice but it's still proper money so I'd be surprised if they could completely get out of their obligations as a dealer selling to the public.

Here s is a Mega Cruiser in Japan to cheer you up on a Friday,

https://www.goo-net-exchange.com/usedcars/TOYOTA/M...

Allows you to get away from the wife and kids, even when you are driving with them.




If you spend a bit more, this looks a clean very low mileage version.

This one has a video with Land Cruisers in the background, just to help with the size comparison. You are the Captain now.

The 8.32 is one of those cars where, if you bought it, you would soon find out who all the petrolheads in your neighbourhood are.

I haven't owned anything quite so "special", but I've got several acquaintances I only know because of one of us walking past while the other one was working on a rare or unusual car.

Nobody is buying that because they're a simpering peacock, it's proper petrolheads only which makes it about as cool as a car can be.

That's also very rusty by the looks of it hehe

I guess that's why you're at mid 20's by the time you've imported a decent JDM one.

Added a couple of extra links for you.

I’ll add them here too,

They're hilarious, amazed I've never seen a twin test with the Hummer.

Goo-net is probably in my top 10 most visited websites. Looking at the underneath of some of those is like car pron compared to what I've just seen.

I mean who doesn’t want self inflating tyres.

Its just showing off driving something like this in bad weather.

If employees claim they can’t make it to work, you can be at their house in 15 min, no skiving from work in bad weather when the Mega Cruiser is on the loose.

Hopefully any prospective viewer of SW55LGA / SW55 LGA will search thoroughly.

Dealers are just odd. I think he'd actually undersold the interior, which was definitely above average yet was one of the things he mentioned that required attention.

He mentioned a dint in the bonnet but there was a much bigger one at the bottom of the tailgate where a trailer hitch had obviously been reversed into and there was significant rust behind the rear numberplate and other quick rattle can repairs on the external arches all of which were much more concerning than the small ding in the bonnet.

I think he knew full well it was worse than described underneath too, it's not like you even have to jack them up to have a look.

Mental thing is it probably is worth atleast £10k just not to me.

I was thinking to put a comment about the VIN as I think they are engraved into the chassis. Best of luck next time I guess. I would leave a comment on their garage in Gmaps to warn others.

Fold down the middle seats and the kids can t even reach each other.

Plus if you have a dog it s like a dog mansion space wise back there.

Now all it needs is a Century V12 for the Toyota LM002 effect.
