I have heard that this *type* of transaction is a scam.
I am not saying your particular buyer is trying to scam you but...
There was a post on the MG bulletin board or Brit car forum very
recently about someone who did an overseas transaction with a car off
Ebay. Out of country bank check was no good, buyer even arranged for
shipping which brought the seller further in a hole.
to make sure it's NOT a scam, have the buyer send you the funds, sitt on
the money for at least a month or until you see that much more on your
monthly statement, then ship the car. Do NOT do it in a couple days or
even a week, make sure the funds are yours. Speak with a bank rep about
it. It's your money or you can just say your car was stolen.
Proceed V E R Y carefully.
Good luck
