EDIT: After a break of 2 years (without a Reborn) when I sold the 2007 model Project car in October 2017, now I have bought another Reborn in October 2019: Habanero Red, 2009 Oriel Prosmatec
Or in other words, Out of 13 years of Reborn my relationship had a break of past 2 years and now we are back together
Final results, few before & after starting from Post#315 onwards, cost edits at bottom of this very post#1
Dear All, I had been looking for a good trouble free car for home use. As always, prices are insane around. Have sold & bought many Reborns. When selling, you don't get a good offer & when buying, you can't find a good car in reasonable price. Repainted cars are also overpriced.
I'd rather get a scratched faded car which hasn't been earlier repainted instead of buying an already repainted/touched car & God knows what underneath that make up to save money properly if I have to be budget conscious. If you should then save properly & if not then spend without thinking.
My mind frame was to save money as this will be a run around car for school & market duties.
I got my hands on a 2007 Oriel Prosmatec with originally 120000 on the clock (as maintainence book is there) almost in original paint with 2 rear pieces sprayed. Interior looks new, apart from detailing required & drive is exactly what a well maintained Reborn should be, a real charm. Everything in perfect working form, from lights to ac to driving experience.
THE CATCH IS: some paint is faded, scratches/raggar somewhere. In a nutshell it's almost original but dull in looks. I fell for it as price i managed to bargain was unbelievable even by standards of an accidented repaired car
Will take delivery & immediately give it for bake painting. It's kind of a project car in terms of restoring the looks back to charming.
Pictures and updates coming soon
