Selling car to Export company

[BMWUser]

I need some advice as I am selling my car on AutoTrader to have had an offer from an Export company in Guernsey (Bluchip.gg) who have a buyer for it there. They did a HPI check over the phone with just the reg and paid a deposit using Paypal after speaking to them on the phone.

They want to collect the car this week (using their specialist based in the UK) and pay in cash!

is this too good to be true?

ok but how can they scam me paying in cash?

[BMWUser]

Seriously, what makes you think this is a scam. I want to be sure either way.

Thanks.

Well they said the would pay cash with me at the bank as well, which seems too good to be true as we LOL
Its only a £6,500 car so not exactly a high priced market.

DOes anyone know how the export works on the log book as it appears I give them to main part and send the blue export part to DVLA. But how does this safe guard me of them sending the part across to DVLA to register under Guernsey?
Is there anything stopping them driving the car around in the UK and gaining tickets under my name, etc

It appears the company does exist though? Obviously I would not let the car go without cash into bank anyway, but I am unsure how else they can scam me apart from additional costs/shipping costs and/or log book scam in any way?

I have actually contacted Guernsey Tourist Board and they have confirmed the company does exist as they know the owner as well. I really don't know what to do
