Priceless!

I just did a bit of "Where's Wally", and the letters FPV are missing in the front lower grill. Oh well, chicken wire cutters will fix that!

Where is the starter button? Why does it have manual windows? Why is half of the bodykit missing? Oh and by the way Did FPV even offer their cars in that colour? What a joke!

When I was looking for a car, I saw so so, SO many cars falsely advertised. I think I have seen it on other threads but one dealer called around 3 different AU's, VT commodores, and I've seen vice versa. But this thread is gold!! although he still hasn't changed the C.G and ebay adverts!

Interior looks very rough? And they didn't do a very good job cleaning around the badges unless they were attached very badly.

Changed to BA XT on their website, still showing as GT on Carsguide. Oh, and they still want $14,990 for it.

Just sent him a request on carsales, with this as a message.

Still asking that much for a half kitted up XT, kidding? Do not ever try to advertise a car like this as a genuine FPV again, real FPV owners do not like it.

Notice the VIN is listed as 003 in the ebay details, surely that's illegal too, no rego or VIN listed on a car for sale.

Too right there, an understated and rare car like an XT 3V V8 has pretty much been ruined by what can be seen in that picture.
