i have doubts about this for 1 reason. The fact that someone named Hakim is selling it in Fairfield. Now i'm not being racist. If a Hakim was selling it in say bondi or parra then I would have different thoughts. But combine it with fairfield? nup

Again this is just from my own personal experience from when I was looking for my car now. There is a chance this could be a repairable write off

Also another point before i get flamed. If i was still in the car market I would definitely go have a look at this car because of the low kms and price but wouldn't hold my breath

I agree with Aaron 100%. I've seen enough cons when it comes to cars.

Nah I wasn't on the forum that long ago. My experience was out of 5 of the sportivos I looked at, 3 of them were really shady and all Lebanese around the fairfield/guildford area. allbiet i bought my car from villawood

Quick edit: one of the sportivos wasn't even a sportivo. The guy had an ascent and stuck a sportivo badge to it and tried to pass it off as a sportivo. That was a really bad experience as it was like the first sportivo i was looking at and had never seen one before

I agree with young. and azzman. I also have my doubts about the car in question, based on my past experiences 99% chance it's too good to be true...

someone best get the Vin numbers and thoroughly check the car before doing anything like buying it.

service history, check revs, check for signs of repaired panels, check for obvious signs of new parts etc etc.

However, having said that, still leave 1% for it to be a genuine clean bargain. [very much doubt it though]

Don't be completely doubtful of a potential bargain. You never know.. it may actually be legit. As with everything though, just make sure to do your research.

Always worth a look at that price!!!

REVS check is worth your money...might save you going for a drive....

It also says it only has one key - I'd haev to ask why would a car with such low kays have only one key?

The engine bay looks nice and clean.......considering I had a guy off the street ask to buy mine the other day (!) it would be a cheap upgrade!

Come on guys, no need to judge the guy just because of his name and the area he lives in.

If anyone is keen why don't you do your research and check it out yourself, what if the guy desperately needs the money and needs to sell?

and no one sells his car if it was 100% trust me .

Pretty broad statement to make there. People sometimes have to sell (maybe even cheaper than usual) because they need to get rid of their car due to other commitments. You can't say you know everyone's intentions.

Not saying this car is good, but you just can't make the generalisation that because the car is cheaper than usual (or as you said... just selling in general) that there is something doggy going on.

I paid a similar price for my sportivo, however i have my doubts about this one aswell.. and lol at the name! Hakim could own a chop shop.. Or there could be money still owed on car. If anyone is interested in it definitely take a look at it in person. Those kms are suspiciously low but it does look like the paint work is in immaculate condition.

99% of the time if you buy a car from them ,its either been in a accident or a repaired write off or a rear cut etc and all fixed doggy so why even bother with it in the first place ? if you tell me its a waste of time because there all liars

and no one sells his car if it was 100% trust me .

What do you mean by "them"?

      OK. Does any of Toyota's advertising material mention Android Auto? If so then kick up a stink, with Toyota management, about misrepresentation and false advertising, reminding them of the hefty fines. Herb

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
