No claims doesn't mean no repairs. Tons of cars have had under the table body work. My mk5 had no claims but was about 11 different shades of red. That said I was upfront about that with the buyer.
Maybe all you need to do is ask "what has been repainted/repaired on this car" and you will get an answer.

Nah, lets keep hammering our keyboards and speculate.

Talked to owner yesterday, he’s selling as he prefers his e46 m3, he said front and rear bumper are repainted but no claims on car. The front bumper doesn’t line up to the hood, I’ll post the picture later. I didn’t see any mods other than the stereo, owners has no maintenance records so no knowledge of things like throttle value actuators or rod bearings being replaced. He’s very upfront about things, so I don’t think it hurts to ask.

It's not a desirable car and not necessarily a good buy but damn, an '84 Corolla sedan with 16,900 km. There's a nostalgia factor for me because it was my parent's first car and I grew up with it for 10 years.

Where\How does Splendid Auto keep finding these examples!?
There was a Mercury Lynx posted a few days ago that was in superb shape, too: Detailed Information - Splendid Automobiles Inc.

Splendid has been on a roll finding these 80s and 90s time pieces. Most cars were shit back then but it's nice seeing clean low mileage examples to remind us what mistakes we should never repeat. That Lynx was priced at $4800 btw.


This is the Escort equivalent to that Lynx

StanleyR 08-31-2017 02:17 PM

The only thing that's worth anything on that Lynx are the Marchal driving lights!

I viewed this car a few months back and he was asking $29.5k. Body of the car was in rough shape. Both bumpers misaligned. Front bumper needs paint. Tailignts pushed in. Exhaust isn't straight. Steering wheel is heavily worn. Ghetto sub install in the trunk. Drove ok but I passed on it. Owner owns a shop and did say he prefers his e46 m3.

I feel like this car has been hit and repaired under the table for cheap.

the people that i know that own standard lancers do ok with them. theyre decently reliable, just some parts a tad more money than say the equivalent civic or corolla.
