Hi guys, i hope i have not given the impression its fine to ship without approval, obviously at this time it may be risky, just with my experience i have never encounted a problem, even now....all is good has not been any more a headache than sending a few pics and chasing up with a few phone calls, as for newbies, i reckon they always take a much bigger risk in buying a car sight unseen, i've done it and got bargains that were great cars...but have also bought nightmares, even with someone inspecting for you,just ain't the same as doing the job yourself, if i were a newbie with airfares at only $1000 i would be over there, get a few others and all go together. That's my best advice ....cheers
