Good news, I finally bought the REX.

There were a few things I noted that I could lower the price on. Sadly the remote key was missing, so I need to find a new one, not gonna buy it at the dealer cause the charge 280 euro's for it. Must be some other way on getting to program my key.

Also my right headlight is a bit foggy. But I'm sure it's on the outside, so I'm going to polish that clean. No engine problems, I did find it a bit rough in idle around 850RPM, I'd rather have it at a 1000RPM, where it is unnoticeable. Are you guys having the same problems? Can the dealer up my idle a bit?

EDIT: Possibly it is the engine mount. I've found the car to be a bit rough in 3rd gear too, only when I quickly tap the throttle just a tiny bit at around 50-55Km/h. I will try and find the mounts tomorrow and see if there is any visible damage.

I love it, already done some mods on it from the TuneUp DIY compilation. For instance the MAF and IAF cleaning, and making a better airflow air intake. Also did reset the ECU.

Here's an image, I will soon do a fotoshoot with a friend:
