Imactulate interior hey, could have cleaned it up for the photo's. I can see foot prints on the centre console, the boot looks as if it's had a bottle of oil split in it among other things

What's even more wrong, is that 4 people have seen it as worthy of bidding up to 4k so far!

looking at the interior and enginebay, this car has NOT been looked after. and i dont think its series 2....more series 1 with that bonnet and the RED odometer reading....my series 2 has the high bonnet and BLACK numbers. the bonnet is only a minor thing as they did "change" it for customising with XB scoops. but the numbers are a dead give away. on the plus side, there is cruise and ABS, also the colour of the kit to the car is different...suggests to me a slap on job

Nah for that price it's gotta be an old XB falcon 500 with an AU bodykit on.
He might be 58 but spells like a 12 year old - no offence to any 12 year olds
out there.
I think the owner is 'floging' himself with the description.

I reckon it's registered under daddy's name and that he is going to try and say it's his dads car, 58 year old on "p" my ***!. Under the bonnet is a different colour also and he reckons it's insured for 16 grand! Put a match to it and claim the insurance cause it ain't even worth the 6 grand he says it cost to paint. Love to know what the reserve is also cause you guys have pointed out a lot of things that don't add up just like the series 1 front. I don't think he's very bright by the sound of it.

also nice to see it sitting in park with no handbrake. 'not been flogged by some young hoon'. haha.

That's sorta like the ads i've been reading for BF XT's lately, a couple with 'this was not a rental car'..... that's a great way to sell something. Why would you need to say that ;)
