theres one on ebay.its 400 miles away and i want it how do you swing that?
have it deliverd? by a haulage firm got a car from manchester to belfast for 200 quid bargin as it would have cost me at least double that and a day of my time!
ok.how did you organise that?thanks by the way..
so if i go for this 440 i can get it delivered for about £200.the guy just asked if i could do a bank transfer instead of paypal.is that dodgy or am i just paranoid??
ebay gives you a degree of protection... be careful with a bank transfer
like t5 monkey says be wary of trading outside of ebay, if it was me and the car was road legal i would ring my insurance for cover and get the train and drive it home
p.s make sure there is a v5 document etc ;)
so it ended at £225 reserve not met.he says he wants £600 or its getting scrapped.seems a shame.it was going to cost £300 to get it delivered which is to much.
So he wants £600 or hes going to scrap it for about £100? that makes sense.
I just picked up a 440 turbo that was 330 miles away, if u can drive and have the time i would suggest doing what i did; get the train there and drive it back. That way you can also look at it first before you hand over the cash.
Cost me £40 for the train and about £60 in fuel on the way back. Plus £48 for 24hours worth of insurance if you dont wanna risk it.
Hi all trading on or off eBay, if your buying a car and paying by paypal there ate some things which are not covered, I think off the top of my head its
Custom made items.
Non physical items.
Tickets.
Motor vehicles.
Deposits / part payments. I.e I require a £100 deposit after auction ends, you would never get that back
So essentially if you brought a wrong un, you would have no come back via Paypal, plus sale of goods act does not cover private sellers.
I trade on eBay for my business and have found out the hard way several times but much more clues up now
Im only 21 so i thought that wasnt too bad really, but yeah thats what i did, found the cheapest train i could about a week before i was due to pick it up then drive it home. although it did take 10 hours to get back instead of 5 because of a massive jam on the M6.
Mine is a blue one but at the moment its a non turbo and i live in north wales.
gave up on it and bought a bmw e46 325 sport instead just cos i fancied a change.not sure about it yet tho..
