Selling a car to European country

[illmonkey]

Any advise?

Been contacted by someone, interested from Overseas. Suppose as long as I get the money, a sale is a sale!

Anything I need to check, ask for?

I'd check out some of the (many) threads asking if a contact from an overseas 'buyer' is a scam. I'll bet my house the email you received is practically identical to the ones mentioned in those threads....

Absolute bullst.

I live abroad and have sourced my last 3 cars from the UK and one bike.

Never had a problem my end. Offer cash, ask loads of questions before hand and turn up on time.

Walked away a couple of times as well.

If they didn't say they were from abroad you'd never know.

Doesn't make things any more difficult from your end, surprisingly there are actually scammers that live in the UK. Just do what you would nornmally do. Cleared funds release the car. Cash is best.

I sold my LHD UK registered Mk1 Golf convertible to a dealer in Holland. He paid me in cash, I gave him the keys and all the documents, and informed the DVLA that the car was no longer mine, and no longer in the UK. Probably the easiest sale I've ever made.

Well, actually I would, as the PH email states it at the top

I'll press on with the transaction and see how it goes.

Thanks.
