Help a QLD brother out? Need to sus out a car...
Hey guys,
I'm looking at possibly buying a car (still not another FTO).... but it's in SA, and since I'm in QLD... inspecting the car will be a bit of a problem.
So I was wondering if anyone mechanically minded would be kind enough to go have a look, take some photos, go for a test drive for me? Not telling you what it is yet, kind of trying to keep it under wraps at the moment (in case it doesn't pan out), but you won't regret it. Oh, and also you need a manual license.
Can offer some beer money, and more beers if you make it to the 2014 bonfire.
Cheers.

Re: Help a QLD brother out?
yea depending on what the car is, I might be able to help, although if it's turboed etc I cant drive on my license. Tim might be the best person to ask

Re: Help a QLD brother out?
I'll let you guys know where it is when I find out.
Kiz.... it's not turbo'ed, but it's also not P plate approved in SA
But I guess if it comes down to it, it would still be nice for someone to have a look at it take photos than not at all.

Re: Help a QLD brother out?
so the car is in Encounter Bay.... but might be in Adelaide CBD Thurs or Fri (presumably next week)
Just googled where you live Phil.... damn you, why can't you live in a more convenient place for me lol
Kiz, or anyone else?
I'm getting some high def photos from the guy for the paintwork and interior, so I'll know roughly what to expect. But if anyone is able to go for me, will be good to take some more photos of the paint and interior, and most importantly... underbody... need to look for signs of damage and repair. ...if it helps, it's not a big car? lol

you've got PM with the car details.vipfto wrote:Yeah can do mate. Pm me details
I've also PM'ed the details and contact details for the seller to Kiz. Since I don't know what your schedules are like and where you're all located, who out of you two would it be easier to have a look at this for me?

Re: Help a QLD brother out? Need to sus out a car...
a bit of a big ask, but you reckon you two can work it out between yourselves? (probably a little depends on the seller's availability i guess)
Edit, wait, you have your open license right? (and manual?)
