3.Train up and fly back (10hr train trip doesnt sound to enticing)

4.??? Anyone want to drive a car down from Sydney for me
5.??? Any other ideas


Anyway, congrats, looks like a clean one.
I did exactly what you are considering.
I bought the T1 TE50 sight unseen except from the pics on car sales. I asked the dealer for better pics of specific areas which they were only too happy to do, and apart from a mates business partner having a look at it whilst he was in Sydney, i bought it on his recommendation (for a steal!)
Caught the train from Melbourne on a Tuesday night & arrived before the yard opened up, checked the car out & signed the papers.
Whilst i was doing the paperwork, they took it round the back & gave it a quick wash & detail, put in a new battery & when i drove off it had 3/4's of a tank of fuel.
The 900k drive home was a great opportunity to bond & get used to it.
I would do it again tomorrow.


Oh yeah!
Great pick up & looks great.
I really like the twin tips.
