From the artice: A senior source explained: "I don't know whether it is greed or naivety but people were coming in and asking to buy vehicles they had seen online while gardai were swarming around the place on Monday."

Fookin hell, is there no stopping people? Asking to buy while guards are swarming the place, no wonder guys are at that when people are that gullible and willing to hand over money for a deal.

You'll find people won't give a toss where the car / van comes from if they are getting a deal.
Literally.
People are naive though. When they ask for a service history and get a fax sheet that is so obviously copied or just made up....
And, then they go "ah shur, that's grand". I'm saving a pile of cash on this deal.
I've seen it with my own eyes - people become blind to these scams when they think they are getting a bargain.
"But that's really cheap!!"

What sort of moron does that to a bog standard diesel passat .

Chris_Heilong

LOL! a non turbo Chaser for €12,000:rolleyes:

Its not even the 2.5 litre version non turbo, its just the bog standard 138hp 2 litre, he would be lucky to get 3k for it. Also not NCTed.

The car looks great IMO, but it is the performance vs price side that is all wrong. A turbo Manual is a 12k+ car not that, he is clearly dreaming.

MEGA BRO WOLF 5000

12k for the turbo is even too much. That yoke probably made €1500 in Japan. Only a moron would pay asking.

Nah most are going for 14k+, I will be selling mine soon. I was looking at importing a non turbo for parts and panels even the Japanese dont like the 2 litre versions, would cost 500 euro, if you were to import it then add 750 agent fee, 1000 shipping, 650 in customs and duty, 780 for VRT.

No where near the price he is looking.

We can't all like the same things, it would be boring if we did :P

Don't mind the bitter men, drifting is a laugh.

That car, for €2000 plus a 1UZ would be a cracker.

Strikes me as someone who's made a huuuuuge mistake and is tryna scramble out of it.

Even the wording of it doesn't make sense, most people who even know what a chaser is give a toss about petrol, Tax prices etc.
Thats gonna sell for 2.5 as a good conversion candidate or not at all.

There was a well modified diesel chaser up for sale for months and the poor lad couldn't shift it and that's with our love of diesels in this country :L

That is what I was thinking. They probably thought they were getting a real bargain.

14k+ on what planet??? :pac: the last Chaser I seen to make that money was a big spec one that took an age to sell. You'd import one and put it on the road for 10k theres not a prayer that most are going for 14k+

12k for that standard 2.0 one is one of the biggest dreamers I've ever seen on here. I've walked away from nicer 2.5 turbo ones for a lot less

Probably not too much of a dreamer pricewise given the price of Landcruisers, but he may be a dreamer when it comes to his own safety! Available for viewing somewhere on the M6.:D
