Buying Cars From Another State.

[Scro]

Hello,

I live in Tasmania and im looking at cars from this site among others and noticing that they're all in QLD/NSW/Melbourne ect. I'm very confused on how freight is organised and ways I can protect myself seeing how if I was to buy a car from lets say queensland I wouldnt actually be able to inspect it and I wouldnt want to drop 11k on a skyline only to find it wasnt what was advertised and i'd ahve to sue or something like that.

So what i'm asking is, what are some freight services that would bring a car down to tasmania?

And is there any kind of documentation i can get that would protect me from being massively scamed?

Daniel,

I have bought cars interstate before (last one from Perth) and freighted it with TNT Carfreight -(cost about $600-00 from Perth to Brisbane). If you are buying from a reputable car firm, then generally you would have no problems. Really no different from buying locally. If they are going to try and stiff you interstate, they will try and stiff you locally as well. For the like of a skyline however, I would probably be asking a the forum for names of performance shops / mechanics who could do a pre-purchase inspection for you. Get them to send you the report before you buy.

Good luck.
