My son has just bought this FTO in Vic

Fingers crossed there isn't too much wrong with it as he's going to have to get one of those RWC's isn't he?
I know it's not a real facelift it's a late 1994 GR, never supercharged a GR before so that should be interesting

Re: My son has just bought this FTO in Vic
Pretty sure that's Nomer's old car. He was given it by his sister and was in really bad shape when i saw it. I sold him the facelift front and his old prefacelift rheo had 1/8 bolts in it. Wiring for the fogs was a sh*t storm from someone putting HIDs into them.
Good luck!
Good luck!

He'll need to spend close to $1,000 just to get it on the road as rego has lapsed.

I dare say even more. He fobbed it to the new owner for $800.-Nighthawk- wrote:He'll need to spend close to $1,000 just to get it on the road as rego has lapsed.
$800 cars are close to being a wreck, not a roadworthy vehicle.

Re: My son has just bought this FTO in Vic
Road worthy cert is $180 on its own plus whatever the repair bill is. Then it's rego on top of that at $706 a year. I'm going to say $2500 to get it back on the road just from what i saw of it a year ago.

Re: My son has just bought this FTO in Vic
Holy crap.
He's expecting rego cost but you always have that to pay right? (or rarely buy a car with 12 months rego left?)
Do you know what's wrong with it that will affect RWC?

Re: My son has just bought this FTO in Vic
I was surprised it was driving when i saw it. So many parts missing and i can't remember if his sister crashed it. There was damage to the front radiator support if i remember correctly. Did your son inspect it before he bought it? The lack of engine bay pics is concerning . You'll be able to tell when you see it.

No he hasn't seen it in the flesh yet, hasn't handed over any cash yet either.

Going to try to get the seller to provide an RWC that we will pay for if it comes back as roadworthy or minor things like tyres etc are fair enough.

Re: My son has just bought this FTO in Vic
It was on gumtree for $2300 and had an ebay starting bid of $1000 so we thought we might pick it up for somewhere in-between and if it needs a little bit of work then fine, he said the engine and transmission are fine and it was working perfectly before rego ran out. Just hoping there's nothing structural wrong with it, anything else and we should be able to fix it ourselves hopefully.
Will let you guys know how we go.

It's now been re-listed on ebay after my Son spoke to him about RWC which he wouldn't do even at our expense, lucky escape?

Re: My son has just bought this FTO in Vic
Yep, very few FTO owners will provide a RWC for a car that cheap, they know the costs are going to be enormous. The reason why mine sold quickly was because I included a RWC when selling it, I knew it would only cost a few hundred dollars as it was in good condition mechanically.
