Links work now sorry...
Looking a getting a updated Astra for my wife. We live on the Gold Coast, Qld, and want to fly down to Sydney as prices are more reasonable.
Would anyone be willing to inspect a white ah 2.2 for sale in Eastwood? It's tomtoms's old car, I have included his thread below. Hoping to go down this weekend... Please let me know if you can inspect before then or over the weekend. Interested in the interior condition, body, engine leaks and overall impression of it running. Really after clean and tidy example, in great condition. PM me your phone and I'll give you a call....

Only 3 I can think of off the top of my head is @Sammich @Shadow110 and @mondo but not sure how close they are to ezwoo. If I was up visiting i would have only been around the corner but alas you'll have to see if one of these guys (or someone else) can help
You could always get a mechanical inspection done if you are really keen (I dont suggest NRMA)

Sure, we dont have to worry about viking raids or scurvy anymore, but instead we make a daily routine of sitting in flimsy, fibreglass (or metal) boxes full of gasoline which are propelled in opposing directions on the freeway at velocities matching that of low flying aircraft.
This is a roundabout way of saying that cars are dangerous....
I'm not too far away.

Great. Would either of you be comfortable having look at the car? The guy (Andrew) said he was free tomorrow morning, otherwise another time is okay i guess. PM me your number and i'll call you or give me a call on XXXX XXX XXX.
He is aware someone local may be visiting and is okay with that. I could arrange a mutual time or you could text him directly or call him after 7:30pm tonight (Andrew - XXXX XXX XXX).
I'd be interested in the usual stuff:
tyre tread left
brake pads/rotor condition
condition of body
condition of leather and trim
all accessories working
air-con
stereo
have a listen to the engine
listen for worn timing chain - he is not aware if it has been changed
log books
check for leaks - oil/coolant
wheel scrub
and the best part - take it for a drive
If it all works out well - we're hoping to fly down either Friday or sunday morning and drive it back back to the gold coast that day.
if i was capable to actually inspect the car Eastwood is only about a 15 minute drive. but with my knee how it is i am struggling to even walk more than about 50m so getting under a car is off the table.
Best bet is for State roads but it is ~$200 for the inspection. i got one done on each import i owned in the past cause log books are non existant and often history is unknown.
