Ive received a quote for a new car from a dealer in Germany.
The offer is good, and i believe its legit, but there isnt much information on the company, potentially because they only deal with diplomatic sales.

Is there a way to check im not sending money to a prince in nigeria?

Thank you

How di they approach you.

Have you checked the company physically exists and has premises?

Try to call them to discuss and see if they are real
Thank you

I contacted them after a google search.

They share an address (on their website atleast) with an actual Volvo dealership, so i am hoping (and quite confident) that the two companies are linked and therefore legit.

If i phone a car dealership in Germany, is it likely the other person speaks English?
