ITS A SCAM!! - DONT DO IT!

1) He pays by Paypal - as has been said this can and will be reversed, in the meantime they get the car, you loose the money and youll find paypal dont give 2 hoots and wont stop the reversal of the money.

2) He pays by cheque - itll be from a dodgy account and will bounce, maybe not immediatly but within 6 months the bank will be taking the money back, once again the cars gone.

3) BACS/Transfer - nice idea, and the safest so far as he can do diddly squat with your account number and sort code other than pay money in, so you arent going to be stung that way, however itll be a dodgy/stolen account and the transfer will be refused and reversed by the bank, just like the cheque...but the car will have gone.

4) This is the only safe way.... He pays his "agent", not you. Someone, either him or his agent pays you in cash, which you take to the bank with them and pay in, this ensures its legit and not counterfeit or anything, only then do you release the car.

If you dont follow the advice above youll get stung...i bet your landy on it ;)

Edge:

scania:

You need to get two letters, one to be signed by the buyer stating that his agent has full responsabillity for the final decision to purchase the vehicle and that you accept no responsabillity if the purchaser is not happy with the agents decision and any fault will be with the purchasers agent. Fax it to the buyer get him to sign it and send it back.
Second letter for the buyers agent stating that he is sattisfied that the vehicle is as described and that he is happy to make the purchase on the buyers behalf and that he accepts all responsabillity for making the choice to buy the vehicle and to deliver it to the buyer in the same condition as when it left you.
Sorry to say that in this day and age you can't just right out a "sold as seen" receipt, it's not worth the paper it's writen on. When you sell any vehicle you have to get the buyer to sign the receipt to say they are happy with the condition of the car.
If you have proof that the buyer (or the agent acting on their behalf) is happy with the vehicle at the time of purchase then ther should be very little chance of any comeback.

Well, the funds are in paypal currently awaiting transfer to my bank, the guy that is supposed to be transporting to liverpool is to receive £100 as payment - which was included in the transaction . so waiting for the transport guy to arrange a date and time with me.

he has asked for a copy of V5 to be faxed/ emailed to him then the original can be sent to swansea as 'Permantly exported'

Will keep you informed as to status of cash etc.
