Your demon cars from hell

[AlbertM]

June last year I bought 2 EDs on ebay and they turned out to be pretty good cars.

2 months ago I bought another thinking I might score a good deal again. However I did say to my Father as we travelled the 350Km to pick up the car that we may be pushing our luck with ebay cars.

First up the car had Pensioner rego
Then we found out the A/C doesn't work
Buckled rims...none of this was a major concearn the car was cheap enough.

Next day, the gearbox plays up, we service the box plenty of gluggy oil. It improved but then it spat it guts on the road. Obviously got a shock from the new oil and actually being serviced. In goes another auto box.

We had the A/C tested and sure enough the evap was leaking. The bloke suggested this goop to try and stop the leak as he never had one fail yet. Lucky me I'm his first, $240 worth of labour, goop and gas down the drain.

1 month of ownership I take my eyes of the road for 4 seconds doing 80Km/h and cleanup a double sign post and take out the front of the car and front left door. Bought another car off ebay to fix it. It took 3 weeks to fix in my spare time. During this we fixed the evaporator.

I had just finished the smash repair I jacked up the car to remove the left front wheel to repair the power ariel...The jack slips of the cross member and crushes the sump, another week out of action.

The car is all back together and going like a rocket...just with a silver bonnet and front left door.

It was today that I was searching for the paint code and name of the colour of the car and found out why this car is cursed.

Paint code: J4
Name: Black Pearl

I instantly thought of Pirates of the Carribian THE CURSE OF THE BLACK PEARL

I'm waiting for the diff to go as it's the only thing I have not removed from the car. :


So...Anybody else have a demon car from hell?
