I'd just like to thank those who responded to my thread (2) but it seems there isn't that many members that live in or near Tongala Vic the exception being Trevor57 who was suggested to me by Tassie F100 and I thank you for that. I contacted him and he told me that he would contact his son as he is more up to speed in the cars of today. Apparently he sent him a message but had no reply so he would ring him tonight. That was last Wednesday and I haven't had any messages since even though I sent one for an update a day ago. Without meaning any disrespect to the guy, but if you can't do it just say so don't leave me hanging in the air here like this. The guy selling the car has been amazingly patient.
Sure I could pay to have a Vehicle Inspection Co check it out but I have had (2) cars checked by them only to find the cars weren't as they seemed in the advert not even close so I can't afford to keep doing that. So I might have to let this one go too. Very disappointing as it's the color/6spdml/low klms and within my budget and again seems to be in pretty good nick but I need conformation on that. I'm not buying a car without being sighted or checked out. So now I'm in a dilemma on what to do now. Any suggestions???

Cheers.

I'm sorry BlueEA, but it's extremely poor form posting something like this on a forum.

You were requesting a favour from someone you didn't know, which was ultimately going to cost them time and travel expenses to get back to you with an opinion. Then when it didn't happen for you in the click of the fingers you bag them out.

You have no appreciation of what they needed to do to make this happen for you, and your response is to have a sook about them on the very thread in which you made your original request.

You've probably seen Trev's response to your second post and quite understandably, it appears his offer of assistance now seems to be well and truly off the table. I think he did exceptionally well to keep his response as polite as he did.

Good manners cost nothing BlueEA. Grab some whilst they're free.
