Duffman Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Car is up for sale and is attracting alot of interest from overseas i.e. Hungray, Sweden, Denmark. I'm am not sure whether to take these enquiries seriously or if they are con-artists or whatever. Has anyone every sold a car overseas and is there a certain procedure for doing it?

Guest Twilight Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 I'm located in Finland and i've bought a numerous of cars from UK during last few years. So you can take them seriously. But usually the buyer will ask you many questions since there is no point travelling into UK not knowing what kind of car is waiting for them.

Guest eddienick Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 it seems that there are a lot of european people looking for car in the uk probably due to the strong euro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csa Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Black T67 Single went to Finland You sure? Saw your car at several events in Danmark this summer... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 As the UK is bankrupt be pleased other countries are showing an interest I have a good friend in Hungary who may help as Hungarian (Magyar) is NOT an easy language, slightly akin to Finnish. He travels to the UK regularly and has a half reasonable command of English. He's VERY car savvy and street wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edge Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 I would prefer if someone abroad got it as they don't mess about. My GT4 went to Sweden and it was a pleasant transaction and i still keep in touch with the new owner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MARTIN R Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 My mate also sold an Alfa Sud last week to a guy from Sweden. Money paid, car transported. No issues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMan Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 I'm in Germany and bought mine here on the forum, Flew to the UK Paid cash and drove home. Will probably buy another one next year. You will notice that when someone is willing to fly there to get the car and pay with cash they are probably not going to try to haggle with you on the price, but please be kind and do a full service and check on the car before they come pick it up as they will have a very long drive home.

Chris Wilson Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 GMan, I feel for you. I know that buying from over seas is fraught with danger, and you'd much rather have an honest opinion as to whether to drive or trailer it back. Nothing is worse than getting half way across Europe and discovering a minor fault that stops you getting home, which, having been told about it, you could have worked around the problem without failing to make a deal. Pricing is very different in some countries to the UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Chris, but just to be absolutely clear, I had zero issues on the 600 mile drive home, my only Annoyance was that the speedo stopped working after 15minutes, So i had to gusstimate my speed the whole way back, Turned out it was just a faulty speed converter chip, fortunately it was installed with cannon plugs which made it a snap to remove (I wanted it to read in km's here on the continent anyways) I have not regretted buying it for a single second and plan on keeping it when i buy a TT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually have a 1600mile trip back home. Its not that long... But yeah, a kind service or even an oil change would be nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
