Selling abroad ( HK )
Discussion
I have been offered very close money to my asking price(£40k)for my white 964 3.3t . The buyer has already paid a deposit of £10k via TT to my account.The buyer is in HK and has been asking me for six months to sell him the car and each time offered me more untill we both agreed a price.The buyer has emailed me proof of the TT,i have also been told by the buyer the money can take 3/4 days to show in my account,is this a scam or is it for real?

Basically it goes nowhere until the readies are in your bank.........simples
That part is for sure,but the buyer has not seen the car or had it inspected,all he asked for pictures of the car, under the bonnet with the carpets up,vin number and sticker under bonnet,asked if it had the original tool kit,and V5.Just find that strange. Crimp a Length! said:
No, i had the same thing with the 930, but we both drew up a sale agreement (contract) which we both duely signed, he paid me the full amount and collected the car a week later.
Its now in HK.
No sale agreement signed,and if the deposit clears then the balance will be paid one week later.Its now in HK.
I sold a car to a guy in HK a while back. The guy sent a couple of intermediaries down to check it out. Left a good deposit and they collected it a few weeks later.
The money was settled on the day by bank transfer. They got the keys when the money was in my account.
The only slightly worrying thing about transfers are that the sender can technically reverse the transaction the same day. I'm not however sure how easy this is to do. Maybe someone with bank experience can help.
Transfers should only take a couple of hours. That's between UK banks so perhaps it's different internationally.
I know when I sent money to the States there Time were options.
Like the other posters have said. No money no car. If it is a scam at least your £10K up;-)
