Well true.. if the buyer was stupid enough to not look around and see what kombi's are really worth they deserve to get ripped off!

Rip off? Nope. If you can't pay, you can't play. Simple...

aparently the buyer was a serious buyer and has been in contact with the seller who told him he had paid way to much so they renegotiated a new price wich they were both happy with

Yes,

new price was negotiated, apparently buyers wife was doing the bidding. 9my wife knows sellers mother)

yea i have the 2.4, and i must say, for a van its got alot of grunt ! 😂

before the '07 model, i drove a '86 (i think) mitsu express, and dear god it was like driving a dead elephant, hard to steer, hard to clutch, no acceleration and took an age to start.

the only problem i have with my '07 is because the clutch is power assisted, i cant feel whats happening through the pedal, and feel im riding the clutch more than if it was a mechanical linkage.

http://offer.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewBids&item=150174604600
one bidder puts in 6 consecutive bids over himself??

am i reading this right!?🤪

Not realy sure how it works but as I understand it the consecutive bids are because another bidder placed a bid which was not up to the maximum of the first bidder. ie bid is up to $100, bidder 1, and will increase in $2 incraments, next bidder (2) bids to a maximum of $300 so the bid automaticaly progresses to $102 then a third bidder, bidder 3, comes on the scene and bids to a maximum of $250, still under the max of bidder 2 so bid automaticaly progresses to $252 that showes up as bidder 2 outbiding himself and so it goes on. Reasonably sure this is how it works but if someone out there in ciber land knows differently then I would be happy to learn more

Wow, now I know I'm guilty of buying cars that some work to be done .... but i've never even considered paying anything like that.

Good luck to the purchaser - I think that you will probably need it by the look of some of those pics...
