Hi all,

You may or may not know that i am trying to sell my bugeye.
i received an e-mail today via pistonheads asking for more pics and also asking if i would be interested in selling to someone outside of the uk?

what do you think?
is it more hassle than its worth and how does it work?

Thanks
ben

 

If he pays all your shipping expenses then there is no problem, all you have to do is fill in the permanent export part of your V5 after you have shipped the car and take the plates off.
However be vary of scams regarding money transfers and always wait full amount of time for the money to clear with the bank.

 

he says he will collect and pay cash when its collected

 

he says he lives in germany.wants to pay 500 quid deposit via paypal then pay cash on collection.then he will just drive it to germany.
what would i have to do with the logbook?

 

just spoke to dvla.they said i just get them to fill in the export slip and give them the full log book.then send a covering letter to the dvla saying i am no longer the registered owner.
seems easy........

 

I would! id get the £500 out of paypal and into the bank before he arrives though.

Considering it.seems less hassle selling to this guy than it would be selling it in the uk.

 

It could be genuine and all be as easy as it sounds, I would however warn there are a number of pretty elaborate scams around starting similar to this, so would advise following the sound advice above as well as that of Dunx

Maybe I will just invite the entire scoobynet population for a cuppa on the day he collects........

 

He's paying cash on collection.
So have a note test marker pen, or a uv light so you can check the cash money before he does an offski with your car my friend.

 

Could well be genuine, the state of the £ right now could mean he is getting a bargain. Your car is WELL under priced anyway ( I appreciate you are having trouble selling but it is a real giveaway)
If it were me I would not worry about the deposit, I would tell him to come over at the weekend with the full amount. If its genuine he will turn up with the money, If not at least you have not got into any kind of bank business.

 

sold a bike to a german guy on ebay , paypal deposit, balance in cash when collected . very nice guy. so it could be legit.

 

Just be carefull and good luck mate

 

i would ask him to arrive when my bank was open, go and pay the cash straight in so they can check it, then release the car

 

He got back to me asking about the mods as he isn't certain they will pass german Mot.
Also wants the vin number to get ? coc ? Paperwork from Subaru Germany?

 

TUV is a hard test.
