Rangieman congrats on the car. I was also lucky enough to take hold of a Defender Extreme last week, but with equal amounts of stress.
I brought it privately off a guy that was heading overseas to live. Two weeks ago I offered him what I thought was a good price, but 2 grand below what he was asking. He said he'd wait if he could get what he wanted.
Two days before leavuing i ring him and he agrees to sell the car, extended manufactureres warranty and a few extra's thrown in. Take him to the bank and organise direct transfer of funds, he preffered rather than bank cheque.
Tells me to come and collect car in morning when the money has gone through, he is leaving that afternoon. Rings me that night to say money has gone through he'll ring in morning to arrange pick-up. 10am next morning I start to get concerned, mobile off and have not heard from him. At 11 o'clock I ask to leave work and go around to his house, which is empty and the lady next door tells me he's gone overseas.
An hour later he answers his mobile, he's in Adelaide (I'm in Perth), on a stopover on the way to NZ. Tells me he's 'left the car with me cousin, no drama mate don't stress, I wouldn't do the dodgy on ya'. :x
In the end I managed to get the car off the cousin who was driving it around, got half of what he'd said would be thrown in. Moral of the story, get a bank cheque and do the handover then and there.
By the way, as I wrote in an earlier post so damn happy with the Defender, makes the stress of getting it fade. https://www.aulro.com/afvb/
Congrats to Rangieman (and to Dages) on your purchase. If it brings you half the happiness mine brings me then you'll be fine. https://www.aulro.com/afvb/
If it brings half the expense mine has brought me then you'll be even better :roll: Notyhing ugly has happened to me but they DO like their maintaining. Preening is what I call it.
Unfortunately these days, bank cheques can be as dodgy as personal cheques.Quote:
