Well unfortunately the car ended up being a dud :/ was quite disappointing actually.

Went and checked it out yesterday. At first we were really surprised and pleased with the condition of the car. Was like brand new. Never driven or registered here. Had imported it and kept it in the garage.

Then came the bad news. The service history was in order. First bit of doubt crept in when it said service was done at 70,000KMS on the dot. But I put it to the side for later.

The major warning bells came when the guy said the car wasn't his, it was his brothers who actually resided overseas permanently. Had no documentation which gave any proof this guy was allowed to sell on his brothers behalf. He kept using the trust me line. He offered to give his brothers number which wasn't much satisfying.

The third thing was that there was an amount owing on the car as well. Had no idea what was left owing just said that 9800 would cover it. Yet he was happy to bargain down to 8.5 which screamed scam.

Car was perfect mechanically, interior was amazing drove beautifully but those issues was where I drew the line with my decision.

so now it's back to car searching...

Thanks for all your help guys again. Much appreciated.
