Suspicious Car Buyer..?

[Martin350]

As of yesterday night I have for sale in the PH Classifieds.
After only a couple of hours I was contacted via email from someone asking what my lowest price would be if they collected the car tomorrow (today).

The email address suggested this was not an individual but a car sales business.
A quick Google search shows that this is probably a one man car sales company with no current stock.

I replied saying that I thought it best he came and looked at the car and negotiated from there.

I recieved another email today in which he made me a good offer on the car, still without even showing any intertest in coming to look at it, which has got my spidey senses tingling!

Anyone else experenced something similar?
Should I ignore the emails and wait for someone else to get in touch?

If it's a scam what could it be leading up to?

Thanks.

Yeah, I guess.

But what form do you think the scam (assuming it is one) would take (if I would let it)?

Dodgy money transfer, fake cash..?

Some interesting thoughts here, thanks!


Just to add, a friend of mine works full time but is also a registered motor trader with a business name, trade plates etc., all completely legal, and he buys and sells maybe a car a month on average in his spare time, so quite often he has no 'stock'.
