Keep your eyes peeled for scams
My D2 S8 was purchased by someone in Poland. He was working on an ocean survey and wanted it for a wedding prezzy for the bride  Yeah sure. That would have made an interesting gift Anyway ebay wrote and told me not to (I hadn't). Since then ebay have closed my account and are still hassling big time for the fees on the sale that they told me was a con. They've had debt collectors writing and everything short of bailiffs. Don't you love em  So Amar. Be very careful. Money paid into your Paypal account can be withdrawn. Drafts and Bank/Building society cheques can be forged. Go for cash... and scrutinise it

Thanks Nick, this guy seems genuine enough from what he wrote (I'm very good at spotting these sort of scams) he will only be allowed it after he has paid cash, he also has very good feedback and is a D2 enthusiast. When I sold the 335 my brother in law brought this money checker thing to check for fake notes. It was 20k cash in a Tesco carrier bag from some young guys from Liverpool in a tatty old Transit so we were taking no chances!

Them debt collectors are a load of clowns, most of the time they are just trying to scare you into paying. I got two council parking tickets last year and I wrote a letter that made no sense asking them to proove I was who they thought I was and both times they let me off. It's just scare tactics, pay within 14 days and we will half the fine. P off. If anyone gets a parking ticket send me a PM. Many a loophole to exploit. My mate crapped himself and paid straight away saying it would mess up his 'credit rating' will it feck.

Dont be too put off to sell abroad-I sold my last skyline to a guy in Denmark.
He agreed to pay me to collect him from the airport-regardless of whether he bought the car, came over to view, bought her, paid cash an drove it all the way to Denmark. LOONY!!! Poor guy must have been aching all over by the time he got home...it was a fully track specced skyline, most of the "bushes" on the suspension were replaced with alloy replacements  I will never forget this sale-his name was Casper lol

Just make sure the bank accepts the notes and you're good to go Amar... Planty of chances to be screwed for any other method.

An Audi 100 (horrible car) to a bunch of guys from Honk Kong. They viewed and paid cash very late one Sunday night. I had the car in my warehouse on an empty ind estate. Thought I was going to be mugged. Sold a Beemer 730 to some guys from Malaysia. The came, went on and on about whether the A/C was factory (it wasn't). Paid cash then left the car with me for weeks. In the end I was chasing them .... heavily, before they came and collected. The saddest was a Beemer 750iL. Sold it on with 180k, and a month or so later got a call from an guy in New Zealand. He'd just bought it with 80k on the clock  Still I was able to give him almost the entire history, as I'd kept copies. Amar, a money counter/checker. Great idea. And I sell em too
