The old look at a car for me request... Auckland

Postby Mr Revhead » Wed Apr 18, 2012 11:18 pm

Two 4wds I'm considering. One in Papatoetoe and the other Papakura.
Anyone with a little bit of 4wd/diesel knowledge willing to take a look for me? Will swap beer vouchers/goat pr0n

At the end of the day a diesel is just the same as a petrol in terms of someone else looking for a vehicle for some one.

Is there rust? Dents? Leaks etc etc . Hes not expecting anyone to whip the injectors out and test them or a compression test etc.

He just wants a personal view over of it rather than taking the sellers word for it with pics that he could have taken to hide problems.

Pretty much. Had a check on one today, report will be waiting for me at work in the morning.
Will see what that says and go from there.

I'll be back at home in kura on Sunday if you still need someone to take a gander. Not sure if I'll be able to hit Papatoetoe during daylight hours though as I'll be passing through about 6pm Saturday and then probably coming back same time again Sunday.
