Hi GTV6
Thank for spotting this one
I called the dealer Friday last week. Its not as clean as it looks sadly
History.
Owned by an expat mechanic in WA, came into the dealer via auction
Rust in one of the sills. 
Dealer swears its not bad, said he has a photo of the rust but the advert doesnt show anything
I asked for a picture of said rust..still waiting!
I have asked around regarding the rust, a capri friend here in Melb said he thinks its a sign of bigger rust issues into the body and behind the C pillar
It needs more work than I can do
Cheers, Roger

Spoke to the 'dealer' last thursday 4th May
Asked him for photos of the rust and location
Today he called me to ask if wanted to buy the car
So, for the 3rd time I said I need to see photos
He sent me the pictures of the Gumtree advert which are mobile phone pics
Way too blurry, not close enough!
So one last try today.11/5
He managed to get off his backside and took the pics
Rust in the wheel arches not the sills as he first described
Also big tear in front passenger seat. ( can be fixed, easily enough)
He checked google saw its a valuable car over here and got stars in his eyes
Wont negotiate
Am in Melbourne and cant be effed
Worth you going to check it out and work on his get rich quick scheme
He is a small time dealer, not a big one
