Buying Cars interstate

[Simsy23]

I know theres topics about this already, but im just wondering if anyone has bought a car from over east without actually going over there to view it and pay for it etc...

Ive scoped out transport from door to door, but im unsure how to do the paperwork and actualy hand the money over for the car without actualy being there, i dont want to get scammed just wondering if theres a certain way people do it

any advise about the whole process would be great

FYI: im in perth looking at a car in QLD

fly over there and do an epic roadtrip

fly there to view it then throw it on a truck or a train.

I would never buy a car interstate without viewing and test driving it!
Im looking at a new ride but its in adelaide, if i get the train back to perth I can throw the car on the train for $85

bought my car from nsw. turned out ok, there was a few things I should've seen on it though. but that's just me not looking properly on the day, no paticularly major surprises

Id prefer not to fly over as thats an extra 500 just for flights etc.. id get a full inspection by the RACQ with a report on every part on the car pretty much,

to the people that have transported their cars, link to the company and rough prices? cheers

500 for flights? Where are you flying? Scotland??

Not even perth should be that much. Freight costs about 500 anyways.

cheapest return flights i could find from perth to adelaide was $186, dont see how u got $500 but never the less
