Hey Guys,
Ants from Auckland, NZ here. I'm in the market for my first turbo car and the BK MPS fits the bill for me. I've checked one out at a car yard (the test drives alone have given me a broad smile ) and am quite keen on it but need some advice from other Axela/3 owners - the vehicle in question is a low k's 2007 BK Axela MPS imported from Japan and from the external visual check I've done it looks good but found rust:
One of the roof rack mounting points
And how the rest look
The hatch's right gas strut bolt
And the left side
The car has been sitting for months on the yard and everyone I've spoken to about it so far says stay clear - and I can't find much to suggest this is a common issue, I'm keen to throw an offer (subject to a pre purchase inspection) and have them carry out repairs but not sure if it's worth the effort. Could the rust represent bigger issues to come?
Thanks in advance!
