Thanks for the welcome everyone.
I had been looking on the trader for about a week and then saw this one so rang up straight away. After speaking with him and asking about what kind of money he was after i agreed to do a bank transfer for the deposit because I knew it would get a lot of interest at the price. Think I was the second person to phone him up. Picked it up 10 days later and he was gutted he let it go for what i got it for.
Yeah bit annoying though really, ive been at work for the last week and got another 10 days work until im home and can drive it.
