Looked fairly good to start, then I noticed the petrol filler cap was pushed it bout 15mm
. Anyway everything else was intact, started no worries, noticed new hoses and leads had been put on. Took it for a drive, the clutch felt new, was a little rough on acc., asked missus to check the books and there was nothing between 87000 and 175000. pulled over after bout 10 mins popped the bonnet and could smell old coolant... looked at the eng and under the manifold could see what looked like dreid out puddles, and the harmonic balancer was wobbling a bit
. Drove it back, guy comes over.Him: "So... how'd ya go?"
Me: "OK I spose, it goes alright but the log books have nothing between 87 and 175k, what's the story there?"
Him: *gets books out of g/box, has a look, shakes his head*
Me: "Do you know if it's had the 100k service done?"
Him: "well if it's not in there I can't say"
Me: "OK, well the ad said it had books"
Him: "It does, they're there"
Me: "C'mon mate, every car that gets sold has books. Without knowing the history and without the log books I'm not really sure if we want it cause subaru's need to be serviced regularly *pauses, by this time I'd pretty much made up my mind that we weren't taking it*
Him: "Well, it does have books. Look you obviously know a bit about Subaru's would it still be going if it hadn't had it done?"
Me: "Possibly"
Him: "So do you want it?"
Me: *points to Macca's across the road* What we might do is go have some lunch and have a talk and then decide"
Him:"yeah but do you think you'll take it?"
Me: "IF it's a yes or no answer right now, the answers no!"
Him: No, what I'm saying is do you think after lunch you'll still want it?
Me: Look mate, we don't know if we want it and if your gonna start pressuring us then the answers no, we don't need this car, I told you we wanted to have lunch before we make up our mind"
me: *turns to missus* "ok, lets go"
Him:"I'm not having a go at you I just want to know if you think you'll take it"
Me: "and I told you we don't know but you keep on pushing for an answer, so nup, we're not taking it. we don't need this car, there's plenty of them around and we sure as hell don't need your attitude so don't worry bout it. see ya!" *we start walking off*
Him:"yeah. ok. well I don't need you either!"
Lol, fuckin glad we didn't buy it.
