Jamesy Posted February 20, 2008 Author Share Posted February 20, 2008 i would rather cash - however i would probably accept an instant bank transfer (same day) to be sent over a couple of days before they were due to arrive - that way i know the money is in the bank. However, that is leaving you a little exposed as to actually being met in England once you've paid i guess!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tones Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Not that this was brought up.. Im from sweden, and Im going to buy a car from England this spring/summer. Is there no way that anyone would take a banktransfer (at the bank, "live") or some international bankcheck..? I don't really feel like travelling around with 8000-9000 in the pocket.. Any advise? bring the draft or cheque, but ul have to wait in the uk for a few days for it to clear, no way id let a car go without being sure i have the hard money sitting there in my account Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShamelessTT Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Jamesy youve done well to sell that so quick with the time of year etc, Result!. But yeh Cash Cash Cash, last time i sold a car, i took the guy with me to the bank payed in the cash (made sure it was real) and then gave him the car keys and everything else. You never can be 2 careful!!! esp with overseas people.....Most people will totally understand your concerns if there geniune interest.

dangerous brain Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 You could do a direct bank transfer at a bank in the UK? Might cost you a few quid but I am sure you could do it. I know an English Norwegian friend of mine uses post bank and can get money direct from the post office counter in UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam bell Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 i had an email from the same guy as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Elias Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Oh yeah? That sounds great! I talked with my bank and they said that I could do a international transfer but that it would take up to a week for it to be done.. But a international check that he can clear with his bank right at once has to be allright..? Then he gets the money into his account/in cash on the spot.

Not sure whether to be glad to have sold at a reasonable price in just 6 days, or totally gutted its going - mixture of both i guess.
