Hope theres no hard feelings here. But travel considerations/costs/time were the main factors - Interstate cars aswell (Risks). Finding more things with the car everytime I look at it, just hope projected costs don't skyrocket... though a strange feeling says it will.. I think your suspicions will probably end up right (In terms of time and $$) and I did think 9k was a very good price for your car which is why I would have been willing to go to melb for it. - Think you could probably sell it for more.. the orig price on this car was 10/12k. Taught me a lesson anyhow, Best of luck with the sale.
