Hi everyone! I've been looking at upgrading to a used ralliart and found this one on carsales but the price seems pretty low. Anyone think this looks dodgy? I'm thinking about going to see out but it's in Melbourne and I live in Brisbane so it's a decent trip, just want opinions on experience with this sort of thing.

Any thoughts? All welcome!

Thanks! Jesse

The car looks good and the price seems reasonable. I just purchased a brand new MY13 ralliart for just over 32k.

whoa that is really cheap! If you are interested Jesse I can ask around the Vic guys to see if anyone can check it out for you. (PM me if so)

PM'd :D Thanks for the offer!

Yes the price seems almost too good to believe! If it seems good I hope to go down and test drive it asap!

Thank you for all of your feedback! :)

Hi Daniel!

Mainly due to features (the listed car is speced like an aspire), insurance isn't as bad as an evo. And lastly price of course, this is a good one for me!

Thanks

$40k is a fair bit more than $25k hehe. I'm prepared to pay that much but not feeling like letting much more than that and associated costs on a car atm.

Back on topic, any opinions on the listed vehicle?

Thanks

It's a 2011 model not 2012. Do a check of the rego on Vic roads website.

I was considering this when it first came on the market but I need a sports back for the boot space. But it is priced to sell. It's not underpriced considering u can get a brand new ralliart for $32k driveaway. So $7k depreciation in 2 years is right.

Hope it checks out and you get it. Looks like a nice car.

That price is pretty good. Almost borderline of too good to be true. Its worth a look though for sure...

Hi Aamir, no I didn't end up doing it.

I psyched myself out after thinking about the steps involved. Selling mine, going to check it in Vic, getting it back up to QLD. But I did a vehicle check and it checks out fine no accidents and no incumbency. From what I can tell just needs a test drive and an RACQ check to confirm everything is in order. Looks to be a good deal.
