Called him up, seemed legit.

Asked if its had or got any modifications, no.

Has it been lowered, "little bit"

Open to negotiation? Yes.

I'm sure all that can be looked in...i might have a look...

Definitely lowered, also the tint is dark and looks like mine (illegal).

Number plate is interesting as that's a recent letter series (ie re-registered or new plates in 09) not from 06/7 when the car was first registered.

If it is legit and is in good condition, its worth about 19 IMO.

Someone want to make a few quid?

A its cheap because its red. B it's been lowered and C its cheap because it's red.

I hear they are giving the black ones away now, apparently no one wants them

[VeeDubs]

Red goes faster, its a proven "newton's law"

[WABIT]

and, if you reaaaaaly want to be THAT technical

red paint has the least products in it to make "red" and is therefore a lighter paint, EG: lighter body, faster car

This is 100% correct!

I went to see this car about two weeks before I got my Polo GTI from a dealer. The car was in great condition, only a slight scuff on one wheel. The 'computer' thingy on the dash is a Parrot bluetooth kit. It's also missing its rear wiper, though the guy said he had it. The tint is also darker than legal (at least on the front windows). The car drove well, although the left wheel is not aligned so it pulled to one side.

But the guy seemed bodgy. Ayser isn't the owner of the car. His 'friend who works 6 days a week' is the owner. The 'story' I was told was that he bought it as a financial repo from an auction for his wife, but the wife thinks it's too small, so they're just trying to get their money back.

Thinking that it was too good to be true, and worried about the 'bodgy' vibe I got from the guy, I paid the $18 to do an RTA vechicle history check.

I can confirm that the car is a repaired write off due to fire/smoke damage.

So yeah... if it seems too good to be true, it is!
