Thanks, gentlemen.
I have corresponded with the seller a few times, and have now spoken to him on the phone. He strikes me as a decent, honest, intelligent person. If he's not, he's a very good actor. So it looks like I will probably be going for it.
I've not quite booked the flight, but am getting close. I'm reckoning that it makes sense to use cash. I must confess that over the past couple of years I had pretty much forgotten about the existence of cash, and so it might take some time getting used to using it again. Actually, one of the problems at the moment is finding a bank - there are very few branches of the Royal Bank of Scotland open around me these days.
Quick question - the ad on ebay says £1750 ono. Which means that I should probably negotiate on price. Do I do that before I travel down, or after I meet him and see the car? And what is a respectable offer to make? What should be my starting offer?
