    Pro K is still around, and I would also highly recommend him as he brought mine in for me and was reasonably priced and very helpful. Good cars are hard to find for reasonable prices, it took around 4-5 months to find a car to my specs even worth bidding on and would be the same now if not worse. Then from once you win the auction to taking the car to vicroads if you're organised with all your paperwork and get the compliance and RWC done quickly I would say another month at the least.

    Not a quick process if you want a really clean car, but was worth it for me.

    Pro k is your best bet at finding what you want. is his email. It you'll be waiting a while though for him to find a clean one. The ones on goo-net exchange and carsensor are generally bought at auctions by the yards and have been marked up. So you'll be best off waiting till one comes through for auction.

    He runs a legitimate business from home, regularly bringing in cars for customers. Mostly to order so he doesn't really keep anything in stock. Best to email him as he is very busy.
