Sure so they gave me the invoice for the full payment of the vehicle and said that, that is the legal contract and that's it. 

Is this all the same car? Its unregistered, it's got holes cut for cooler piping? 

Might be time to find another car. 

Is the car on car sales? I'm just curious what you've been looking at.

Yes same car. No it's private, it will come registered (i managed to sort that out). It does have a hole for the piping but I'm happy with how it's done. It's not drilled into the rail.

How does the dealer come into this?

They are a licensed dealer, have a dealer license.

But they are selling it privately and not through their dealership?

They haven't put it up for sale yet so they happened to message me prior to putting it up for sale, let's say it's not a traditional dealership, just some guy with a dealer license who has a few cars.

Yeah ok. 

I've typed and deleted quite a few things now. 

I think I'll just go with, I wouldn't go down that path. Everyone has to choose their own path though.

I happened to also modify some of my notes. No problem thanks for your help though. I might seek some legal advice on it.

Do you mind saying what the car is and how much they are asking for?

I'm trying to keep it private for now but it's a pretty large sum. It's at market value roughly.

In Qld if you sell more than 6 cars a year generally you will require a dealers licence.

I bet its one of the kids that has access to large sums of dollars from "undisclosed parties" that buys cars and flips them from industrial sheds.

Buyer beware as some of those types of cars go missing after being sold...........

Hey all, I hadn't mentioned that I bought the car and it all went well though the seller definitely came across as dodgy and kept changing things. I ended up getting proof of ownership so there was no worries there, but a fair bit of servicing is required which will cost me a couple of grand. Car I bought btw was a skyline r34 25gt turbo. I'm not going to make the same mistakes I made last time, and will get a proper mechanic who specializes in these vehicles to do all the initial stuffthen I'll do servicing from there onwards. 

Thanks to everyone for their help as always.
