Yeah it's a hatch so it's quite a large piece

Has any one ever dealt with Trust Auto dealer in Richmond.

Saw a car on their lot that peaked my interest.

Is that the place on 3 road across from Canadian tire? Let me guess, that STi? I drove past the other day and eye fucked it myself

Edit: I was right. Looking at that interior, Jesus it’s disgusting. What Is that white shit everywhere? Also things like gauges drilled into the dash and some random hvac controls hanging down would scare me away. But easy enough to take it to subaru 3 doors down for a PPI

Yes sir that's the one.

You could say that again on the interior :heckno:

Wouldn't hurt to take a look at it in person

i cant believe that he would take a picture of that door panel in that state. WOW. You dont see that on a 2k car let alone a 20k car.

Used and abused is my guess.

Be sure to snap some pictures of the 3.0L V6 swap.

I was interested in the ls460l one of those dealers had on #3 road posted a while back and it was pretty beat and sketch in person. I asked my mechanic about it and he said basically those are the Kingsway dealers of Richmond:heckno:

"trust" auto. If you need trust in your name, its usually not that trustworthy.

bcedhk 10-11-2019 03:24 PM

i feel like all the dealerships on no.3 road are selling used cars as a front.

Just look at the reviews from LP auto (I feel like they buy a lot of their 5 star reviews cause most of them only have 1 review to boot).... yet they still manage to still be in business for so long.

Edit: just took a look at Trust Auto's reviews too... so many fake 5 stars...

2007 Aston Martin V8 Vantage Coupe - $39,880

That's really high KMs for an Aston. But it looks good, and the Aston Martin design ages so well.

Investor Visa program. Same thing as all the stores in asian malls. aberdeen, parker place, etc.. they're all ghost towns but yet they have a store there.

Nvasion 10-11-2019 07:29 PM

What a investor visa program

westopher 10-11-2019 07:29 PM

It's how rich people buy their way past the immigration process.

Nvasion 10-11-2019 07:33 PM

Ahh make sense. Always wondered how those stores at yaohan, parker, or Lansdowne survived.

320icar 10-11-2019 07:42 PM

You should have seen the pamphlet for the “starry night cafe” behind Costco in Richmond. It was an amazing grouping of all the investors with passport like photos talking about how much they like investing in the community

It became 1029 cafe or something. Same place different names

whitev70r 10-11-2019 07:53 PM

Nice for SO's who cannot drive manual?

Luckily that's an auto, or I might've been tempted to ignore the massive red flag of a high mileage Aston that was under the care of someone who ended up getting it repo'd.

The ad says it is a 3.0 L engine...nothing is adding up with that ad

2012 Golf R, 69K kms, APR Stage 2, $22,500 (with downpipe, coilovers, CAI, fuel pump). Looks very clean and well maintained.

Do it. Do it.

Rebuilt title nismo 350z. Been waiting for one to come up, what’s the general consensus with a Carfax that doesn’t show accident value but shows a new salvage title all of a sudden. On the Carfax within the span of a month is says a new owner reportedly the beginning of the month, and by the end of the month it says salvage/rebuilt title. This happened back in 2015. Safe to assume it would have taken a major accident to give a salvage title back in 2015?
