Have I Bought a MONEY PIT?

Get 15% off your Carly with code "Mat15" bit.ly/MatW_Carly (discount applied)
Yes I have bought yet another car. And this one I purchased from 300 miles away without even seeing it. Needless to say when it arrived it had a few potentially serious faults To find out if I had bought a lemon I took the car to get assessed by a professional. They gavce it a thorough going over and graded it out of 10.

Yes, also noticed that it only came up with 2 faults, whereas the porsche one gave loads of errors

[@AlphaKala]

@@richardnicholls9569 I believe that carly here doesn't really was at fault her. Most of those devices are made to work mainly on canbus readings, and some of those oldy cars, can still use K-lines, which cannot be read properly by just the modern canbus reader. I have chinese xentry with openport, It has zero problems with cars newer than 2007/2008 but it can fail at the older ones, just because my open port reads only canbus data, and not k-line stuff. (Which of course, the original hardware, does read perfectly fine, but thats another thing)

Carly is slightly misleading - its a subscription-based service and if you didn't know that you might think that you're paying a one-time fee for the OBD reader and program. Only until you add the item to your cart and ready to pay do you find out you'll be paying yearly.

[@Beer_Dad1975]

I'd replace "slightly misleading" to "slightly scammy" - I paid for the coding subscription for my Lexus - it never worked - then 3 months into my subscription they disabled it because they "couldn't support Lexus anymore" - I had 9 months left, but they refused to refund me for something that never worked and they withdrew. Basically theft in my opinion - but they are based in Germany & have a no refund policy in their T&C's so I have no recourse. More fool me I guess, but I'll be bitter about it to my grave so every time I see some KZbinr shilling for them, I'll tell my story.

[@marca.w.7237]

Had one of these (first generation, bought for always nothing) 3 years old, low mileage, in Florida and re-imported it to Germany. Has been a realiable towing donkey for many years. Sold it with nearly 200.000miles on the odo, still working w/o problems. Only had to replace the propeller shaft once (at more than 115.000 mils) and replaced the old satnav with an Android one. One of the best cars I've ever owned. Beware of the case of the ICUs in the engine compartment (sometimes the develop cracks on the underside that let humidity in) and have an eye on the coolant tubes in the V of the engine. Original they had been plastic (and had a tendency to fail), the late models got those made of aluminum. But good value for money, congrats Mat!

When these first came out, in 02-03 i think, a buddy of mine picked me up for a drive in his girlfriends dads S. Apparently, he had it for a month, then being used to supercars, got bored, and ordered a Turbo for the power. I dont know how the turbo corners but that S was like glued to the road. Absolutely unbelieveable amount of grip and 0* bodyroll. Very very good handling
