Remote car sale?

Nieuw berichtdoor smoke » di okt 20, 2009 8:56 am

Hi to all.
I'm trying to get a mx5 sport so I put mine on autoscout.be.
I got an sms requesting usual info via email and then this answer.
I'm quite surprised because I'm not used to sell car without a test drive, papers signed etc.
Apart from an ambiguity about the word "cheque" (due to the bank confirmation it should be bank transfer) actually it does not seem too harmful to me. :eh:
If you have any advice, please tell me.
By the way, I think I need some DIV papers to export the car... :crazy:


Hello ,
Thanks very much for the email with the update, the car will be used in the south of Amsterdam, I am happy to inform you that your price of XXXX has been accepted and we are ready to go ahead with the payment of the car.
We will be paying you with a cheque payment of XXXX or by Paypal which you must confirm payment in your account first before we can come for the pick-up of the car, hope you understand..
We will also be sending someone who is going to come for the pickup as soon as you confirm the cheque payment with your bank, he will be helping out on the transportation to the location were the car will be used as soon as you receive the payment to avoid much work or stress you too much ok.
You are required to forward your payment information to me soonest, for us to address the cheque payment and send to you soonest :
(1)Full name
(2)Address
(3)Postal code and Country of your location
(4)And phone number.
All details in full for payment to be delivered to you immediately, I will be expecting your email soonest with the details so that we can conclude the sale of the car. If you need more details or information you can as well call me on phone or email.
Thanks very much once again for everything and God bless.
Mr YYY.

@Smoke... just tell them to bring cash. You don't want Paypal as you will lose X% of transaction fee. Cash is the way to go.
