Default Need a car inspected in Geelong

Hey there everyone, as the title says I am looking for someone in Geelong (I know there are afew people in here) who could look at a car and give me an idea on its condition.
Not looking for an expert just a good look at body, trim, leaks and how it drives.

Thanks Dale, PM replied.

I may aswell ask for opinions of everyone in here.

I am looking for a replacement for the Prado,
I have allways had a soft spot for these older Benz's (did my apprenticeship on them). And want a car that looks nice, will only be used to drive into town when I am on holidays (I have a work 100 series cruiser) will most likey travel about 1000kl per year.
Does this look to be about the right price?

Spewing,
We sold my wife's grandparents Benz, exactly the same but in white not long ago for $1800. It was in nice cond with 40000 k's.
Lovely car to drive, but a dead set pain in the arse to work on.
I had to replace the power steering belt, give me a HQ any day.

Gav

Well I have looked into getting it trucked back, (quoted $575.00) but if there are some people who want to do a road trip lets see what numbers we can confirm.
If I win the Auction will most likely be looking at getting it here within a couple of weeks.

Mmmm just come on site. Looked like a good buy at the price.

The agency rhat sold the car is based at the old Corio Shire offices in Geelong. That is the location of the car photos.

Bad luck with the bid
