Dear Friends,
 
I am once again selling my treasured MR2, this time for real. I am looking for a quick sale and anyone who knows this car will know that there are lots of high quality parts used. The Supercharger kit alone sells for atleast $2,500. The reason for the cheap price is that one cylinder is slightly low on compression, but the car drives normally and still makes the same power - 150rwkw (i had it dyno'd recently and you can come for a test drive and see for yourself). It is a 1993 model and Australian delivered, the body and interior is very clean.

Seriously cheap!! Making me think about getting another one...

Less than 6 months ago i was advertising this for $13,000. The only difference being down on compression on one cylinder, so yes its a good deal for anyone keen to get their hands dirty. 

photos updated gents

Sold to moi :)
 
Funny story... I sold my SW20 3VZ and I went overseas for work.. came back for a quick "break".. going overseas again next month for couple more months. I thought I'll get back in a SW20 V6 when I'm back.. but what you know, this opportunity came up... couldn't resist..

Haha nice one Lucas!

Great to see you got a deal Lucas

Unfortunately I didn’t end up getting it… Very disappointed.. It’s very sad how we do business nowadays..
 
Thu 11 June:
-          discussed the car details with the seller over the phone/email.
 
Fri 12 June:
-          Made an offer, and received in writing “OK SOLD”
-          Transferred a deposit and asked for the car to be advertised as sold (which didn't happen)
-          Did a inspection and test drive over SKYPE. (I’m in Adelaide obviously; the subject car is in Sydney)
-          Transferred 55% of the price to the seller (couldn’t transfer the whole amount due to external transfer restrictions)
-          Organised and paid for car transport from Sydney to Adelaide.
 
Sat 13 June:
-          I transferred the remaining amount. Full agreed price is now paid.
 
Sun 13 June:
-          Just waiting for the $ to land in the seller's account.
 
Monday 15 June:
-          I received “I got a better offer from someone else, I will refund you the amount plus your transport costs” from the seller.
-          By now the whole amount I paid is sitting in the seller's bank account.
-          I offered $1K on top of what I paid.. but apparently I was still $500 short of what the “other guy” offered.
-          The seller refunded the amount plus the transport costs, which I must admit is fair from a financial point of view. (but obviously I don't want the money, I want the car..)
 
Basically I am very disappointed.. an already made deal and my money sitting in someone’s account (whom I’ve never met), and I offered to pay a whole $1K on top! But still… $500 is the difference between me and another gentleman who I'm sure will never forget how he got the car.
 
I guess whether you receive a hand shake, or a gentlemen's agreement, or someone's word, or “OK SOLD” in writing, or pay deposit, or even the whole amount in the seller's account, It doesn’t matter….. all for $500.. (my wife asked why I didn't just pay the $500 and get it.. I guess only men understand that it stopped being about the money now..) 
 
I'm back on the hunt for a V6 SW20..

If that's the full story then that's a sh!t way to do business. All for $500 :(

Buy the supercharged 2gr sw20 in Melbourne. Would be awesome.

It's very unfortunate.
The seller is a decent guy. But the way he handled this is unsatisfactory in my old school books.
 
I have PMed Charlie regarding that one.
