Looks like the fronts & rears have been flipped over.

That thing seems to have been on sale forever. It was around when I was shopping for mine a little over a year ago.

Tyres and wheels look pretty normal to my eyes. Slightly snugger fit on the rears but nothing wrong that I can see.

Rears are set in way to far. Front's are flush with the arches, but rears look to be in by about 2"

Yes, over 2 years now I think as I remember seeing it when I was looking in early 2018.

I just don't understand why a dealer would stick so rigidly to the asking price. Surely it's better to get it sold, even at a loss, and use the money invested in it more wisely.

Letting it sit unused isn't doing them any favours at all.

See what you mean. Seem to recall this being posted up before, quite some time ago, now I've looked again.

I think it must be 4 fronts. I think rears would fowl on the struts if you could even mount them.

Maybe they figure if they keep it long enough the average annual mileage will be lower! :lol:

I sent a message to the dealer, saying it looked like he had four front wheels on the car and should look at changing them, about a year ago. But never got a reply and hasn't changed them. That'll will sit there forever..
