Blenheim Car Sales 111 Posted October 4, 2018 Guy calls me from Cyprus, Says he wants to buy my car ( Citroen C5 tdi) says it to be exported and he will pay me a deposit can i have your IBAN number, We do everything through e-mail and a 5 min call from Cyprus land line, He does indeed pay me the 10% deposit on Iban bank transfer, Obviously i am not releasing the car until full funds are received, Am i missing something ?? do i have any extra risks that i am not thinking of or am i overthinking my position ??

A C5 HDI, wouldn't be worth huge money so just deliver it to the shipping company when you have all funds and that's all. Done deal. Also if you don't mind if you can pm me the details of the company as I have a customer from Cyprus (a friend) that wants a car from here but has no idea how to transport it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blenheim Car Sales 111 Posted October 4, 2018 Yes i have done southern and northern Irish sales before and not thought anything of it, Sales have progressed smooth and followed same principle of funds in bank before releasing vehicle. Thanks for your reassurance I will PM the details of shipping company once i have them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blenheim Car Sales 111 Posted October 9, 2018 This deal happened today, All funds in bank and i have no risk any more, He came to my place though from Cyprus today to view and pay for the car prior to arranging his shipping agent in Southampton, Question though My Customer in Cyprus needs the English V5 in Cyprus when the boat docs his end at the end of the month, He needs this to clear customs his end and also prove the Vehicle ID and to prove he has imported it, Can i just send of the Log book to DVLA without putting any tax on it ???, He is using His name but his brothers UK address on the V5, He has an arrangement with brother to send on to him in Cyprus, Car is currently "in trade|" secondly, having never exported a car there is a part of the V5 that has a tear off for "Notification of permanent export" do i have to send it on this V5 or wait till the new V5 comes through ?? as i am guessing they will have different doc ref numbers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If I am wrong apologies upfront. Exported 100's of cars over the past 15yrs, mostly to southern Ireland and more recently France (nich market stuff that I know where to place). It's the way I've always done it and never had an issue. I suppose as long as the car is in the trade, you could just hand the V5 as if passing to another trader (you'll have their details from the invoice incase it all goes Pete Tong) but I've always filled in the export part. Although to be fair I usually arrange the shipping and export this side, and rarely meet any foreign buyers. All docs get sent on in the post.
