I think it is a genuine trader.If you look to his feedback on Ebay it looks OK.However there are mainly references to non-car products on there.I am not sure he is a dealer!

Personally go for it.

BUT

Cash of over £10,000 could be difficult to bank due to money laundering regulations.

Make sure the documentation is all correct, correct export paperwork. And you have his details, business address etc. And proof of export.

Otherwise follow advice above regarding cash, bankers drafts etc.

The usual scams are selling cars at undervalue, I have not heard of any when buying.

Finally why not call trading standards and ask their advice.www.tradingstandards.gov.uk

Well..looks like it could be genuine, the buyer actually called me, and we talked about the car, he said it will be cash.
He agreed to come on Tuesday, because the bank will be open and he'll goto the bank with me with cash.

Thanks Abacusman.

Hi!

The Pound is extremely low at the moment, for us in Sweden you have to look back all the way to 1995 to find a lower exchange rate. Germans (and other Europeans) will of course utilize this and go classic car shopping in UK...well I am waiting for my new Morgan 3 Wheeler smile

If he is that keen...do not lower your price to much, he will make money anyway if the car is OK.

He's obviously either counting his money and putting aside enough for a deposit on a 3W or booking a flight to Nigeria to visit his car/cash laugh2
