    Why the lack of bids and the low price.

    I am looking at Grays, I see this car, low kms, 78K kms. 4 days to go and only $909. What is wrong with the car? Is the low km indicative of issues?

    Seems to have had little use and has been serviced regularly, so could be worth looking at. Note, the VIN shows no e-diff, but it does have rear aircon which is nice. I suspect it needs a belt change and it's too much trouble for the previous owner. Would be worth calling (or preferably dropping in) to Riversdale Prestige and having a chat to the service manager. I've had no problems doing this in the past as long as you state from the outset that you aren't seeking any recommendations, just looking for info to help with your decision. You're looking for service items like fluid changes, timing belts done, brake fluid changes, that sort of stuff. Ask if they'd be happy to continue servicing the car and if you seem to be getting along OK, ask whether they would buy it.

    As others have said, 4 days left it will likely end up going for higher than retail.

    if you save the pic of the front view and open it up zoom to the windscreen, the scribble from what I can see says "engine smoke"

    That is the answer to the OP's question.

    Looks like a deceased estate, could be a repo, but Grays is probably not the best place for getting a good price, if disposing. Appears the executer just went to the best known/biggest auction house, without any research.
    Of course, all conjecture on my behalf. The frenzy will start closer to the end.
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.
