Buying interstate - could someone from Preston's help?

Postby Dre » Sat Nov 22, 2014 12:13 pm

As per title, I'm looking at buying an nc from a dealership interstate - could someone from Preston's Vic help?

If so I'll pm you a link to the ad.

I was thinking of flying down next weekend to inspect and drive it back to Wollongong via the great ocean road.

I follow the trade quite closely and be happy to help - but I'm working Vietnam.
Good luck getting to Woollongong on Great Ocean Road - bit of a detour.

I'm heading to Preston tomorrow, could go take a look for you and see if the roof is leaking or not.

Because it is pouring rain the next few days.

Thanks for the replies (I think lol), the car sold today unfortunately but They have a demo in white that I'm considering, only it would cost more. $$$$$$

No, it sold on Monday apparently. It was cheap for what it was but I didn't want to spend so much. I'll wait for them to come down a bit more, maybe there will be a price drop in January.

Should drop a bit when the Nd is available but not sure if you're prepared to wait that long.
