Help needed with a my sale of my .:R32 via ebay, anyone offer advice?
VC:
right then my blue MK4 R32 has just been won with the buy it now option on ebay for £12500.00
it had been getting bids steadily during the week and just log in in now i get an email saying someone has bought it, happy days
should be good news but my paranoid mind is awake as per usual
the email i read is as follows:
Dear very.cherry,
Hello,
I'm Mark and I just bought the Golf trough ebay. It's a present for my wife's birthday but I will not pick up the car until Tuesday and I was wondeing if you can send me a scanned copy of the V5 DOCUMENT for a HPI check.My email address is hmarkxxxx@gmail.com and my phone no. 02032-xxxxxx.
Best Regards,
Mark xxxxxx
theyve not seen the car and have asked no questions.
to me it seems like good news the car has sold.....but my fear is someone is either trying to clone the car or something and then i hand over the address of where it is too (in case by some miracle the winner is reading this the car has plenty of stealth security so dont even think about it).
they can hpi with just the reg surely? too much info being requested? its alot of money to spend on something youve never seen
all advice, thoughts gratefully appreciated guys
what would you do?
what should i say back to him?
anyone want to wash my car?
cheers

the Reg should be enough, whats his ebay feedback like , i can check his name etc for you if you have the full name and address ?
Greeners:
If they are genuine they will understand you are not about to hand over that kind of info. Have they paid a deposit?
JPC:
yep, the reg is more than enough, sounds to me like someone is trying to clone the car

no, no deposit as yet, i think that will be down to me to request one first, do you think i should secure money and hand over only the reg number for the time being?
