My favourite way of dealing with them is to say that the car is fitted with a colostomy bag and is this the model they are looking for?
They always say yes :laugh:

Thanks Mix, may consider! :tongue:

Just got this one now. I asked the other guy to send a cheque for the full amount and when I have the funds in the bank (in full) he can collect the car from my work place (secure police approved airport parking). He can then deliver it to his so called 'client'. lol

One thing to remember is that if someone pays you with a fraudulent cheqe or bankers draft, it can show on your account as ok as it can be a few days after it has cleared before the bank notice that it's a wrongen.  By then the car's gone and you're fooked.

Good point!

I intend to feck around anyway with him. I have to send the log book of to transfer my number plates over so that will take a few weeks, and will highlight any problems.

Such low life people out there.  :undecided:
