Thanks for all of the suggestion guys! I think I have my plan now: I will fly up there with 2 bank cheques ready, sign the transfer of ownership agreement etc give him the cheque (that goes to him), then attend bank with him together to deposit the other cheque (that goes to the finance company). After that I will take the car and wait for courier service to deliver it, so I watch the car get loaded onto the courier. Then I fly back to Syd. That should be the best way? Cheers guys
