zero Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 (edited) Here's the deal. My girlfriend and her mother are trying to get her father the car he had in his 20's, a Triumph GT6. The problem is that these are fairly rare in the US, and finding a reasonably clean or rust free one is pretty difficult. I have found what appears to be a decent one for about the right price in Tuscon, AZ. I know most of you aren't Triumph experts, but we're all pretty knowledgeable car guys here and everyone knows what a poor rust repair looks like and would feel any glaring mechanical issues on a drive around the block. Would anyone on here be willing to help my girlfriend and I out by looking at a car for us. We'd be more than happy to cover gas/time/beer. I've attached a pic of the car in question for reference. Thanks in advance! -Will Edited June 6, 2012 by zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOTHALOSISM Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Wow, that looks clean compared to the ones I have seen lately. I had a co-worker that wanted one and the best I could find was a rusted one for $5k... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero Posted June 7, 2012 Author Share Posted June 7, 2012 Yeah, that's why I'm willing to ship. I usually don't buy sight unseen, but as long as this thing actually exists and doesn't have any big secrets I think we'll pull the trigger.

zero Posted June 11, 2012 Author Share Posted June 11, 2012 Big thanks to CGSHEEN who took a look at the car for us! He gave a detailed (and very positive) review and it looks like we're going to get it. I was actually wondering how those who have bought cars from far away have done the transaction. I was thinking either a certified check or paypal for some percentage of the sale price and the seller could mail the signed title to us. Once the title was transferred and the paperwork was in order, I could paypal/certified check the difference once the car was released to the shipper. Does this sound about right? Does anyone have preferred shippers? Any other suggestions? Thanks again to the best forum in the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOTHALOSISM Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 I would think the best way is find some one you trust here. You paypal them the full amount and then they buy it. That way they get the title to send to you. Then all you have to do is arrange for a shipper to pick it up and all that junk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
