Buying Cars From Interstates

[ErIC881104]

hey guys,

i am planning to buy a skyline from interstate (probably qld or nsw) as i am from tassie, i hope someone here who can help me out with some questions,

(if you are the person then it would be great that if i can talk to you or him through fb or msn )

1. how much petrol will I need to go from brissy to melb or from syd to melb? as driving in normal manner of course

2. If you have ever driven from brissy to melb, how long did it take you?

3. is it worth getting the car transported down to melb or going all the way up to qld or nsw to get the car?

4. what are the questions that i have to ask the sellers before buying his skyline?

these are the questions i wanna ask atm, i would really appreciate for the help guys!

use this -> google.com

use their maps

figure out km's between point a) and point b)

VERY roughly work on a figure of 10L/100km (a turbo Skyline in decent condition should easily be able to get this on freeway driving)

So you will now know how many litres you need, which will tell you how much $$ you need for petrol and also know how long it will take as google will tell you.

I would drive the car if you're not pedantic about putting km's on the car. Transport that far could be quite pricey, more than petrol.

got a link to the car?

Im from Melbourne and also thinking of purchasing a car from brisbane,

Has anyone on here done the drive before? works out to be 1800 ams away so close to $300 in petrol

how long would it take? worth driving? or just transport?

you need somehwhere to stay overnight, factor that in $$

i think you can do it in about 18-20hours non-stop, but if you ask me, that's just asking for trouble - i don't care how much red bull syrup from thailand you drink straight, it's too much driving without a good break
