    Hi,

    I have accepted your offer based on the fact that you can collect it this weekend.

    I actually paid $3500 for it, however I will be taking the car round to various traders this morning because I need to leave the country on Monday urgently.

    Thanks

    Graham

    Dear 6ix_trading,

    Hi,

    That is a valid point but the answer is no.

    There was less than 24 hours until the end of the auction when I viewed it and completed a private sale with the seller.

    If you like though feel free to contact Dean first before transferring the deposit but he'll confirm exactly that.

    I am actually leaving Australia to return to the UK on Monday but the car can be collected from my brothers address which is below.

    ** ***** ****
    ********
    Victoria
    **

    My bank details are the following:

    Account Name: Graham ***
    BSB: ******
    Account Number: ***

    If you can please transfer the $200 for a deposit then I will make sure that no one else views it this weekend whilst you arrange a transporter for collection asap.

    Thanks
