Careful with candida misinformation - there's a lot of it on the internet; loads of forums treating candida as a permanent condition etc.

Believe it or not cars don't spontaneously combust after 100,000km However that is a fair wad of cash for it - what did they retail for?

To buy a car interstate, or to wanna spend $700 on flights to Perth, I'd want to be 90/10 about the car and that 10% is merely you checking to see if there are any scratches that weren't in pictures or any obvious mechanical issues.

On the plus side of interstate buying - you're already miles ahead of people who are scared / cbf doing the travelling you're doing. There's real bargains to be had and to assume the best of the lot can be found in your own state is an arrogant gamble Extending the search Australia wide is the best hope of finding your perfect vehicle. There's nothing dodgy about interstate cars; you're really in the same position you are when you buy locally...just with a plane ticket, a schedule and a transport company. The rest is the same but 6 times more chance of finding a great car

Pretty much what Simon said. If you're planning on buying the car if it turns out to be everything you expect it to, nothing short of a few grand worth of insurance measures is a waste of money on making sure it's what you want. But if I can add some advice from my experience: stay there for a week to view the car and get the transport sorted. Also, book transport and insurance before you even look at the car - some transport companies don't need payment upfront and most insurance companies will do a cover note for transport. My story (shortened): I flew up to Canberra to buy/pick up my GTR and I pulled off what can only be described as a miracle with the help of the seller who went out of his way to help me (someone else may not). Landed in Canberra with bank cheque, met seller who picked me up, looked like a gangster / stand over man, felt like if I didn't buy the car off him I wasn't gonna see Melbourne again (nicest guy ever though, and was a public servant lol). Inspected car, liked it (still kinda scared of him), handed over bank cheque. Go to book car transport - most of them told me they needed 24-48 hours notice before they could accept the car. f**k. After a couple hours of ringing around and waiting on hold, one company out of all of them managed to take my booking on the spot and let me take it to the depot (which was actually the same depot of a company who knocked me back with the 24 hour shit; the guys I ended up booking through were just a front for them who tacked on their middle man profit; go figure). No complaints though, cause I had transport (or so I thought) and it was only 3 hours until I was due to fly back home. Didn't wanna leave seller with bank cheque and the car, even though he offered to take it there the next day for me with the other transport companies. Got tow truck to take the car to the depot. They came out and looked at it. Put a wheel under the car and said too low (minimum height needed to be 15cm!??!!). GTR was about 10-11cm so they said can't take it. My plane trip back home was due to leave in 2 hours, so it was either miss the flight and stay overnight to fix or find a workshop who can help me raise the coilovers - in the space of an hour. Found only workshop in area - all hoists full. Borrowed a jack off them - no C spanners to raise coil overs, attempted using screwdriver and hammer. Not working, too slow, may not even be that much travel in suspension. Rip off front lip and brake ducts - 6cm cleared there. Left rare front lip in Canberra Deflated front tyres a bit and overinflated rear tyres. 15cm clearance achieved. 1 hour until flight. Get car to transport mob, plead with them to take it and I'll even sign a form to indemnify them of damage to the car during transport (I was over this shit by now, having spent 8 hours fking around). Car cleared all good. Seller drove me to airport (don't judge a book, dude was a legend - was with me all day instead of looking after his kids). Fly home heart pumping and thanking my luck. And yes that was the short version cause more shit happened! tl;dr / Moral of the story is, you can never plan too much. Book EVERYTHING beforehand and plan to stay there longer than a day in case you have to. Also check the car height and that the transport company can accept the car etc. It's seriously a miracle that I got my car back to Melbourne. If it had a functioning engine I would have driven it home to save the fk around. Getting it registered was another miracle, but that's another story for another day!

Besides probably being more expensive (unless you go offshore), a potential problem with outsourcing your data analysis is not always being able to relate it to products/services/outcomes unique to your business model and translate in terms your managers and employees will understand and make decisions on. Even if you achieve this, it's still a costly back and forth that could happen within the one person's brain. If they can get marketing coordinator and data analyst in one, they're combining two roles and cutting out the Chinese whispers of a middle man. Still, it sounded like a pretty specialised role - I have no doubts they're earning their 200k. I think in a similar manner, I outsource copywriters to write me articles for publications but sometimes they just don't use the language that you use to achieve homogeneity across all company documents, or know what's important to hone in on. Sometimes that takes years of surrounding oneself in the company culture to pick up on, a benefit outsourcing really misses out on unless they've been around for years and years. Sometimes I just write the shit myself so that it's on point first go lol
