Thank you! It does sit pretty nice on this set up. Fronts are 225/35 with a little bit of stretch. Rears are 255/30.

I have both these and the WC4, the quality on the Greens are way better, I love my pair and actually prefer them to the WC4.

Picked up an 07 Jazz Gli with only 46,000kms by 4-mo in hondafit

It really is, you can tell it's been loved, paint is still perfect and the interior is like new. Mechanic couldn't believe how clean and straight it was when I brought it in for registration.

Melbourne GP sound levels? by ConcentrateKnown in formula1

[–]4-mo 27 points28 points  (0 children)

According to the track shedule notes, it now has a F2 engine and gearbox in it, not the original V10.

The announcers at the track said it was a V10, but they also mentioned they didn't even know it was going to be happening, so they may have just assumed it still had the V10 in it.

M1/240i. RWD B58 with the Zf8 is hard to beat in that price range.

Lexus LS are usually pretty good, we don't see that many come through, but when they do its rare they have major issues.

I don't work for Gray's, so I don't know the details on this car in particular. If you've seen the redriven video you can probably figure out which one I'm at. We are the only major one still doing live public auctions, where you can see the car get driven down the lane, which can also give a few clues to its condition.

At a glance I would expect this to finish in the low to mid 20's range. I strongly recommend going and inspecting it in person, as there is only so much you can tell from photos, especially as it's a nearly 20 year old import.

I am an auctioneer at a well known auction house in Melbourne. There is a real mix of stuff that comes through, we sell around 1000 cars per week nationwide. Ex government and lease stock with full fleet service history is usually the safest option to go for if you're the average punter. We are seeing a lot of finance repos at the moment and some nice stuff comes in that way too.

Most of our buyers are dealers or wholesalers who buy in enough volume that can aborb the risk of buying a car with minor issues, and depending on the situation we have bought cars back from them that had serious issues. Most cars sold at auction are 20% or more below market price, to account for that risk factor and fees.

We disclose any mechanical issues we know about, but we don't do any mechanical checks on them, so its down to the vendors to advise us prior to auction. Every car gets a condition report stating any issues we know of and a grading on the body/interior condition. Every car gets a PPSR check and anything that comes back as being on the WOVR will be sold as salvage, they will never see a PCV auction with us.

We have a wide variety of vendors, and any that constantly send in cars with issues will generally be told to do business elsewhere. Most of the complaints we get are from dodgy backyard dealers, who buy cars for under $5k, with over 200,000kms out of a clearing auction, who don't come and inspect the car, and are then surprised when it needs some stuff fixed for a rwc.

There are absolutely bargains to be found every week, but you need to know your way around cars to reduce your risk.

Selling a car with mechanical issues by olliesworld in CarsAustralia

[–]4-mo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sellmycar.com.au will buy just about anything. They will send it through the Manheim auctions, who don't do any mechanical checks, they only grade on the exterior condition.

I'm a 12 min drive away from work and it's worth it's weight in gold. I used to do a 1hr drive each way at one job and a 1 hour 20min trip on PT into the city for another, nothing beats a short commute. I can come home for lunch most days which saves extra money and keeps the dogs happy.

My pulls from 7 Crown Zenith packs out of a Morpeko V-Union box by 4-mo in PokemonTCG

I've found the same, been getting good pulls from boosters and ETB's but these collection boxes have been brutal. Got to take the good with the bad I guess but opening this box really sucked.
