No worries man, $26,500 is ridiculously overpriced for the car unless it has a massive amount of work done to it i.e paint & body and motor..
Yeah i know how you feel about not being able to see the car, that was my mistake with buying from Brisbane judging only by pictures then seeing it in the flesh and it had a few problems
At least you're getting out there and seeing whats around, best thing to do when buying a car is inquire EVERYWHERE.
