He's paid for it already right? I say he needs to pay the additional price just to get it trailered to the closest industrial estate, and then for any time and you take to see it off (Assuming this all wasn't previously arranged.). Plus what happens if the transporter driver just says I'm not messing about with this and just leaves without it?

And that's an unbelieveable amount of condensation in the cab :o Mine's been sat for 3 years now and it's bone dry. On a good note, it may be twice as long, but I've seen video's of Preludes being started up after supposedly 3 years of being sat, and with a charge of the battery have fired up immediately :)

Exactly my thoughts, and the car is pointed inwards on the drive, so not easy to get it onto a recovery vehicle, but at the moment it's not my problem, so I've sent him a link for yell.com for recovery companies to see if he can get something arranged for Monday now :? :arrow:

Yes he has, so I'll go up there to see the car off, take anything out of the car that's not in the auction and put the bumper, spats, windows, etc. in, and get my parents car's out of the way, but that's all I'm doing any addtional cost is his to bear, any damage, etc. done to the body work/kit is on his head

Mine has been run two or three times in the last 4 years, and each time started like it had been run the previous day. 8-)

Yes, the moneys' banked, but this person doesn't seem to realiase what they've got themselves into, in spite of his written English & comprehension appearing to be very good, spoken not so good, but if this starts becoming more hassle for me the thought is there to pull the plug on the deal and return the money if there was an equal or better offer, as escy you aren't the only person who's asked me about it since it sold
