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]

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!

two men came out, n go like "wanna sell me our car? $14k?"////

"errr NO!", then they were like they're lookin for stivo's bla bla bla left. THE END.

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"?

      Wobble at the front

      Vibration under acceleration is quite commonly due to a failing CV axle. I had it happen on my old Aurion where coasting would be fine and under acceleration/load it would start to vibrate quite violently.

      Brake issues

      Had the rear rotors machined. So far have travelled under 10k kms and the problem has come back, albeit not as bad. Will have a chat with the guy who machined the rotors and DBA also. Maybe need to replace with genuine Toyota items.

      Best Oil for 2014 Lancruiser GXL 200 series TT V8 Diesel

      Hi Ross, we have a 2013 Landcruiser. Played with various oils and concluded that 5W30 Synthetic is the best option. Nulon seems to be on special often, GW is also good. Castrol Magnatec not really suitable for a diesel. Penrite is also good but try and stick to a full synthetic. No real need to change oil at 5000 Kms unless you worked the engine towing. I found that the oil level dropped when using the gearbox to slow down like you do in a manual. Other then that no oil use at 140k kms. Best oil is AMSOIL, but unduly expensive. Controversial but I swear by it is a 'catch can'. If you don't have one, get one but the right one for the car. Initially I was skeptical about its purpose but am sorry I did not get one from the beginning (new). If you check the design of the engine, the cam chain run just below the PCV valve. IMHO this promotes oils being flung into the PCV valve and hence the inlet tract. A catch can will catch that oil - no pun intended.

      rear wheel arch hole covers (3rd row seats removed)

      I ordered the Booxe Gap Caps from South Africa. Way better quality than the ones from Nautica. A little more expensive but looks way better installed. FYI one 3rd row seat weighs 15.4kg's that's a weight saving of nearly 31kgs with both removed.

      2013 Kluger grande Bluetooth music issues

      I have a 2011 Grande and it is not possible to play music via the bluetooth without using the aux connection. I bought this product which makes it a wireless bluetooth experience. https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0BG2GMH8S?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title This device connects to your phone via bluetooth and connects to the car via the aux connection. For me, once the car starts it all connects up, I say Hey Google, play music and the car plays music without having to connect my phone to any cables.

      2010 MANUAL Prado with high speed acceleration hickup

      I have a 2010 manual Prado with 196,000 km that has excellent service history Injectors were done at 130,000 km and today I replaced the fuel filters as a first step for this issue. The car pretty well drives perfectly and I have no issues with it Other than if I'm sitting at 110 km an hour and put my foot down it hesitates for a second like a cough. It only does it at this speed. If I'm sitting on 100 and accelerate it doesn't do it and same with any other speeds like 60 or 80 put my foot down it's fine, only does it at 110. Any ideas or help would be appreciated. Thank you

      Best Oil for 2014 Lancruiser GXL 200 series TT V8 Diesel

      My 2008 Sahara has 630,000 km on original engine and injectors. I run Gulf Western Top Dog 10w 40 semi synthetic oil, spec is CJ4 low Ash . Last EGR inspection at 400,000km revealed no soot. Engine still has same oil pressure as new and great fuel economy....Top Dog oil is for heavy duty truck diesel engines, not cheap but neither is a new engine..20K plus.

      2013 Kluger grande Bluetooth music issues

      Hey, can anyone help? We have a 2013 Kluger grande, Bluetooth iPhone and calls work well through factory radio. To play music we have an aux cord plugged in. Anyone know how to just Bluetooth music from phone through factory stereo? It’s weird we can Bluetooth calls but not music. Thanks for your time and help.
