    We don’t do it anymore. If they reject the car you are in trouble.

    It was probably off the back of a lot of customers travelling a long way to collect cars with £100 reservation fees on and noticing most people went ahead and most people were normal  we took the gamble with deliveries.   

     

    I'd take the money. Not a single car leaves here without payment in full. You want a look pop down we open 7 days. You want to buy its payment in full. It does tend to be confident buyers who choose delivery the trouble some ones tend to buy in person. Apart from a copper in edinburgh who recently bought an A6 and is a thorn in my side.

     

     

    Had a fine young Romanian gentleman (not a timewaster or haggler) purchase an A6 SE 2007 from ourselves sadly a week later battery gave up the ghost (cold weather snap) thus losing the key recognition code and rendering the old girl immobilised over Xmas and New yr period thankfully good old Mihai understood and was going home to Bucaresti for cheap whores and drugs anyways during festivities and we had ro replace Battery (£80 and get lad to re code key £60) now the Media centre is no coming on thus no radio Happy new fucking year grrrrr

    Morning all, I usually try to keep sales as local as possible for obvious reasons. Have an enquiry from a customer over 200 miles away, wanting to take delivery and pay via bank trans. How do those who are more experienced in this safeguard against getting scammed? I used to think a BT was un-reversable but read on here one that had been drawn back recently? also in terms of verifying the occupant and address without looking overly paranoid! I'd intend to use a transport company once to deliver once funds have been received!

     

    I have the name, address and a landline number for the customer but I suppose that's not to say it's bulletpooof ,as the "genuine account holder / resident " could be on holiday etc?!

     

    Many thanks for any help.

     

     

    Drive the 200 miles to them if they sound nice people, turn up smelling of brut and with a massive grin on your face, firm handshake get them in it driving it loving it give them the patter show them the docs and locking wheel key - spare key then politely invite your way in for a coffee milk 2 sugar and a bank transfer once funds showing as cleared wish them a wonderful afternoon and make your own way home via public transport or lift. PS dont send a donkey to collect payment and sell them it YOU DO IT
