hi guys,

i'm new to this, referred by articuno who is a avid magna supporter and is completely in love with his car.

i'm buying a 92 Verada (which is having a comprehensive inspection tommorow)
here is the link to it..3R337 L1NKZ0R (http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4596847071)

Any opinions? My budget is sadly very limited to bad choices on house mates.. unfortunately i cant afford a badass loan for a TJ SPORTS. But if i could.. phwor...

any.. i suppose i should sleep.. telephone customers whinge and i need to be partially alive to respond with wit...

cheers.

hi guys, im all new to this, i've watched articuno waste pointless hours on this forum at work (yes i used to be his manager), he was in love with his car and has spoken at great length about mitsubishi and how much of a help u guys have been...

even when customers were waiting or ordering, where was articuno, consulting aussiemagna lol but off that ..

my opinions are as follows

you picked up a great bargain for that type of car which was worth almost 40K 13 years ago.
when you get it for the love of god take the mitsu badge off the front grille and take those roofracks off before i spew!

other then that, Welcome to AMC!

hope you enjoy your magna.....sorry.....i mean verada :P

cheers

trust me without the mitsu badge on a KR looks a MILLION times better, they are always a faded red (pink almost) and yeah, give it a nicer look

just pop the hood, its 2 screws holding it to together.

;)..trust me you'll love it

I'm a sad panda! I got the inspection report, the guy drove the car into the ground.

It has codes on the report, like I, E and O (Immediate Attention, Early Attention, Observation)

THIS CAR HAD 49 IMMEDIATE ATTENTIONS and here is some of the inclusions:
Engine (basically the entire engine needs work, smoke,oil, the works)
Needs a whole set of new tyres (including the spare)

It has in its comments field for each section "Items too numerous to list all".

And the overall summary "This car is ****ed - Overall the vehicle is to be considered in poor condition, due to excessive and numerous faults on the vehicle, the repair cost would far outweigh the purchase price."

IT HAS RUST!!!!!!

Back on the trail of finding a new car!!!!!

anyone who knows of a good car let me know, my budget is very stretched, for me to make the 2g's this guy wanted was a stretch but i wouldn't pay 500 for this because its such a piece of **** - no wonder he says "no roady - very cheap car" - he neglected to mention its pending scrapyard.

Now I'm a sad panda.

Hey Jeff. Fancy seeing you here. Sucks to hear about the Verada - try the trading post, you can find some bargains on that.
