Title: Let buyer beware! A sad case!
Post by: Phranque on March 16, 2003, 10:05:19 PM
My sister bought an Rx-7 recently and at first thought she had got a bargain at £600. However she got something of a surprise when a mechanic was called in to inspect her purchase. After inspecting it for an hour or so he concluded that it was TWO Rx-7s joined together! Really it pays to have a vehicle inspected BEFORE you part with the cash. It\'s hard to detect any join and I would have been fooled myself although she actually did notice that the door handles were difficult. Caveat emptor - and all that jazz !!!

OK, t2rew and clive - yes - it struck me that it would be an easy one to park. Actually I\'m glad I posted this because I\'ve had a phone call from a chap who has bought a similar car, the only difference is that it has two rear ends, no engine and nowhere to sit.
The little rotor man has come from Aussie! Rather nice!
Cheers folks!
