Glad to hear your purchase worked out fine Tony. It seems Adelaide prices may be a little Cheaper than the east coast. Did you inspect before buying?
I wonder when Melbourne will have an auction?

Hi Ryan

I purchased mine from a guy in NSW who had purchased it at an auction in Sydney. The LR cost me 12.5K and was already registered in NSW. Which I was more than happy with. What a lot of prospective buyers don't realise is that near the end of the auction prices escalate, then there is the 6% commission to the agent plus 10% GST to the government which increases the cost dramatically for the buyer, then there is the transport department inspection hassle before the vehicle is passed for registration.

The vehicle I bought had been through all that which saved me a big head ache. I drove the vehicle back to South Australia and she purred like a kitten, if a diesel can sound like a kitten. I had a look at some of the LR on sale is SA they were 1988 - 1989 models with high mileage and pretty rough. They were not FFR models which I wanted being a Ham Radio operator.

Cheers

Tony
