Ljuddämpande matta under motorhuven och skydd bakom vindavvisaren har skador. Har dessa uppkommit av skadedjur (mus eller dyl) under vinterförvaring?
Det finns absolut inga tecken på något sådant angrepp. Alla hållutrymmen som går att komma till ser rena och fina ut. Anledningen till att den ljuddämpande mattan börjat flagna på ett par ställen kan jag inte svara på tyvärr. Kanske är det enbart tiden som torkat ut mattan lite. Den lilla skadan på vindavvisaren är också svår att hitta svar till tyvärr då jag ej varit ägare allt för länge. Själva lagningen kan säkerligen också göras snyggare för den som vill förfina bilen ytterligare.
Kontrollbesiktning utförd 20230704 - utan någon anmärkning. Yearly inspection done 4 july 2023 - without any remarks.
Finns det servicebok och andra dokument?
Välfylld servicebok samt instruktionsbok och andra originalhandlingar finns. 1 st nyckel och 1 st keyless-kort
Vad är det för fel på baggage luckan, och innebär det att tacket inte går att lägga på?
Taket funkar perfekt. Att bakluckan inte "poppar upp" påverkar inte den funktionen. Istället för att öppna bagage med en knapp innefrån så får man öppna luckan med knappen bakpå själva luckan. Således en liten bagatell.
Hej PG, Hur föreslår du betalning och överlämning?
@NoDak. Jag själv är flexibel. Vi måste dock följa processen som Bidders Highway har som säger "Du som vinnande budgivare kommer först att erlägga din avgift till Bidders Highway, och när det har skett kommer Bidders Highway digitalt göra en introduktion för att ni ska få varandras kontaktuppgifter, för att göra upp om hur betalning och leverans skall ske." Men är det är avklarat så är jag säger på att vi hittar en passande lösning. Bil står nu i garage i Malmö.
