The Orange movement has just passed us now the Reds are back on.

2002 4K miles and £40K.

Miles are insanely low.

Somebody buy it so it can be returned to standard or at least modified tastefully.

[NSXGB]

Oh dear.:no:

Masterclass in making a car look like tat all. Could you spec the old single piece console bin lid in an 02?

[Sudesh]

Its not a genuine 2002 facelift car from what I can see!! or if it is, it must have been stripped at some stage in its life and someone has found bits from an earlier car and later car, and put this monstrosity together.

Infact I have a feeling I know where some of the bits came from.

Also looks to be accident damaged or something as the airbag has gone off and the cap has been pushed back down lol

Looks a total mess of a car.

[PeteM]

Just simply wrong !

[sutats]

I can never understand how there can be sharp depression marks on the butt area of driver seats, low mileage or not.

Do some drivers carry a clothes iron in their back pocket or do they have buns of steel that they don't realise they've been sitting on their other bunch of keys the whole journey.

[Papalazarou]

Just simply wrong !

That's a really dumbass ad. Who in their right mind would advertise a car for that kind of money with such obvious photographic typos?
Christ, they couldn't even get the centre consol straight.

Cheers,

James.

In this particular case, I would say those seats came from a know facelift LBB breaker, so the seats may have been damaged in the accident or damaged when they were being removed from the car.

[Justin]

But 40 grand? I mean, we're used to seeing cheekily bodged cars come to market at £10-20k... But FORTY GRAND???? :eek: :eek: :eek:

Holy guacamole!

[Sudesh]

Simple case of someone is trying to pull a fast one!

Buyer beware would be an understatement here.

Trade seller, so (luckily for any feckless buyer here) the courts would see this as substantially more serious than "a fast one".

All the same, the pics alone are soooooo bad that it would be hard to see how anyone actually viewing this car would ever buy it. Presumably it's fairly out of shape on the nearside, if the line between dash and door plastic is anything to go by!

[Sudesh]

I called them there,

they said the car is sold lol

That's a bit unfair - I could rebuild a write off with such excellent front panel fit. If I were pissed. I have no experience of ally welding either.

Actually, that airbag cover is the ultimate accessory! make YOUR NSX look crashed for only $400...

[Justin]

Ha ha! Well, let's just hope it's been withdrawn rather than actually sold... Looks like it would be a deathtrap given the bodges apparent from just a couple of superficial pics on t'internet!

[Sudesh]

Yeah thats what I thought too, may have been withdrawn.

Looks like its missing the wipers as well.

[Silver Surfer]

Rear electric windows? :eek:

SS

[Senninha]

Its good to discuss these incidents so it makes potential buyers aware. Has anyone clicked on the 'Report to Administrator' link to the top right hand corner of the ad?? If this dealer is regularly performing such 'exotic' repairs, I'm pretty sure that PH wont want to be associated with them!

regards, Paul

[Sudesh]

Rear electric windows? :eek:

Much more than that Kare lol

Headlight washers, NO
Passenger airbag, NO
Drivers airbag, YES, BUT BLOWN, SO NO
Electrically adjustable drivers seat YES BUT SO DOES THE PASSENGER SIDE lol

[Sudesh]

Some of you guys will remember this one

Could it be the same car again?

There weren't that many '04s sold in the UK - and I'd imagine even fewer which have needed a new interior and wheels.

So quite possible...which would suggest £14k would be a better asking price! Wonder if the dealership actually knows what they've got on their hands?

Look at the door card and dash line up too lol

I have a feeling this car was built up from a shell or stripped car, it may indeed have a 3.2 and 6 speed box if the parts came from the LBB NSX.

[Sagacitas]

It is back on Pistonheads again. May be worth someone who can point of the flaws letting the Pistonheads staff know.

[nobby]

i see what you mean ... what on earth is going on there?! :no:

its a worrying sight alright ... and someone could just nose dive into purchase just because of the way it looks. I know its not to everyone's tastes (i think its shocking too) but a bit of bling could detract a buyer away from such things

the centre console to look at is a real hoot. I have never seen such a **** up :eek:

there also appears to be a fault on the rear tail lights according to the dash!

all adding up to be a cracker car/buy! :)

We should all report it... Disgrace, trying to sell something so obviously f***ed into a cocked hat

[nobby]

I emailed PH admin about this advert and have asked them to refer to this thread for a review

ITS WRONG to have this car advertised at all... let alone for 40k! :angry:

[Sudesh]

Its funny because the advert is only new and when I called them yesterday they said it was sold??

Why post an advert of a car thats sold?

[nobby]

as you said in your earlier post mate, someone is trying to a pull a fast one by listing this heap in with a bunch of exotica.

what on earth does it say about the other cars on their site? :eek:

BUYERS BEWARE if thats the case ...

very sad to see :no:

[TheSebringOne]

Whats going on with this dealer & the NSX!? Their website got Bug Veyron, 458, SLS etc for sale! :eek:

[Sudesh]

I see PH has removed the add!

[Sudesh]

AND its back again lol

Must not have sold it then! :)

[Justin]

Reported to moderators again... Cheeky buggers!

[Justin]

For posterity and future reference, this thread should record the fact that this dogs breakfast and potential deathtrap of a car is being mis-advertised by:

Exotic Cars UK, 466 -490 Edgware Road, Maida Vale, London, W2 1EL

:no:

[paulius]

None of the parts came of the damaged LLB. That LLB stills sits in the garage safely. And my LLB too.:)

Not talking about your car! :)

[paulius]

I meant our salvage LLB. How many other LLB we know to be taken apart. I know just one in Ireland in the past if I am not mistaken.

[Sudesh]

Thats the one I was referring too!

[Sudesh]

there also appears to be a fault on the rear tail lights according to the dash!

Well spotted, noticed that too, could be a number of things from the wiring, bulbs, to the later dash in an earlier car.

Something else I noticed is, the car appears to have the "road side flare" as found in the JDM cars, also the carpet around that area seems to be all pulled up and sitting along the door runner garnish, the carpet also appears to be UK spec.

[Hagasan]

The 3.2 engine that was in the LBB stayed in the white car that a female member on here bought. The 6-speed gearbox was sold to another member on here and is awaiting fitting at a later date.

[havoc]

AND its back again lol

Must not have sold it then! :)


Gone again already. Mods on form today, nice to see.

Some poor sod probably WILL buy this, as not everyone checks with the owners club, even for rare cars like the NSX. But the more difficult we can make it for these cowboys the better, as far as I'm concerned.

Can anyone be bothered to go and have a look at it? I'd love to see the salesman explaining all the obvious faults and still maintain that it's worth £40k.
