Hello, I was the owner of that EG6.
Lets make some things clear for you..
1) Drivers inner CV boot split all the way around, clearly been like it a while.
When it was MOT'D everything was fine, and if the boot was split it would have failed! And I never noticed that split boot! IF I had noticed it I would have replaced it!
2) Wrong standard exhaust fitted which was forced on with wrong size decat, wedged against fuel tank, chassis, rear suspension, fouling gear linkage, had to force leaver into gear and was melting away the mud flap. Also to note baffles gone in the exhaust.
If the buyer read the advert correctly I did mention the exhaust was UK fitment, and hence was longer! (Fouled against fuel tank) LOL thats a heatshield for the exhaust mate.
During the test drive, the buyer was informed the exhaust has blown baffles, and its a uk length exhaust so rattles against the heat shield, and also hits the short shifter becuase its too far up, He told me hes not bothered about that as its being replaced....
3) Drivers Door handle pivot fell off inside the door the night it came of the boat, window then fell out of its runners.
This is really funny, As soon as he bought the car and was home, he didn't phone me like he did but instead wrote a text asking for some money back.. In the time of my ownership that has NEVER happened.......
4) Little bits of rust forming under the tape used to cover side trim holes.
Tape had been on for over a year.. so not sure about this one
5) Suspension way to low, rear tyres rubbing in the arch even on flat roads just with acceleration weight transfer.
Welcome to the world of lowered cars. (NO rubbing on straight roads, perhaps on huge bumps but never had it on straight roads lol it could be because there were 2 people driving it back.. I don't weigh much and never used to have passengers
, So it could be that ). Coilovers are height adjustable.
5) Found 2 wheel nuts finger loose on N/S/R wheel.
Funny you say this, I checked all the nuts including the locking nuts prior to collection.
The buyer came, and just wanted to leave without inspecting the car, I insisted on a test drive and yet he seemed like he wasn't bothered! I still took him out on a test drive, with him driving aswell...
Also payment for the car took just 2 hours to come into my bank.. then there was the hassle of his bank sending multiple payments into my account which had to be refunded.
Perhaps he should have bought this:

Overall the car was immaculate for the age
, I would happily buy it back if it's giving you problems because I know that car is mint.
