Greyman 25,933 Posted April 28, 2020 Report Share Posted April 28, 2020 There is no mention of an AVO logbook with it which is all important, there are loads of Snyd, ones around the avo logbooks still get sold for a couple of grand with no vehicle for this reason, I sold my last mk2 for £400 a purple 16 sport with black pinstripes how gutted am I now 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nicepix 5,650 Posted April 28, 2020 Report Share Posted April 28, 2020 My friend had a Mitsubishi RV Wagon when he lived in Cyprus. It coost him £2,500 and he loaned to to me when we were over there. Absolutely phenomenal. It looked like the type of car you'd have if you had four kids but under the bonnet it was a full blown EVO, automatic, 4x4 with traction control. You could put it on sand, floor the throttle and it just glided away faster and faster with no wheels pin or drama. But when Stavros pulled alongside at the traffic lights hoping to nip in front of the people carrier when the lights changed it blew him away. It was the big thing amongst the Aussie surfing crowds. But for me a Scooby Forester would be the one to go for. Last one I had was auto, full length sunroof, heated seats, the lot. Only 20 mpg though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
