Thanks for the guidance Mods...but hard to do when the difference is 10 grand over what you would of had the car for if an alleged dodgy bidder was involved...however I do understand the mission was to procure this type spec cob rep for fixing up within the budget constraints....but a hard nut to swallow still.
I will have to sleep on it and if this does not happen and the sale is legitimate ..then their is no point being worried about it and I will continue working toward plan B!
BTW having a great laugh at HSVs tale, makes me feel a wee bit better about the whole online auction process...but I probably will not engage online for this scope of procurement in the future.
