Buy and sell a car , all the scams

For about 2 Months I was trying to buy a Van , with no much luck
no because I couldn`t find one but simple because was full a scammer
been through 7 scammist before find a decent person who was genuinely sell the Van
I`m always carefull online in give my detail to stranger .
But in the end I got the Van I wanted and when I though that everythink was clear the problem start when I got the sell the car ....what can ever go wrong?

At first you got loads of people asking for your phone number because they want to call you
so you give your number and what you got back it`s some insurance , ppi and accident claim company , passed all that you got the genuine idiots , that they want to offer you 1/4 of what you adverticing , some other that want to swap you car for them car , someone who want to give you a stolen I-PHONE worth £620 , for a BMW , and what you think that finally you`ve faund a genuine person who want to give the money you`ve asked for , it`s just a scammist fron Nigeria ,,,,,, ps not to talk about that famous website we.... buy any cars .....they want to give you 20% of the value of the , ovviously minus the administration fee and collection fee ...
just for fun try one of them site ... on one of them they offered me £0 plus I had to pay for collection

 

When I sold my Honda I used these people, I was moving house and I needed to sell it quick, the whole experience was very simple and easy, they even came and picked the car up. They won't accept anything over 5 years old though and you will get offered a lower price than what it is worth.

@JWK It works fine for me??

 

Works for me

 

I bought my car from a Nigerian car dealer, which ticked all the boxes in terms of scammy attitude. But it was my first car and I just liked the look of it and the cosy interior.

 

Are we not all becoming just a little bit internet crazy.
Some things I buy on the net, but a car, no way.
Never ever touched the likes of Exchange and Mart before the internet.

 

Pete , unfortunatly there are restrictions in some areas , as I moved from my old address where i live now it`s forbidden to stick the good old sign on the car window , don`t ask me but I saw many cars with fines and my friend who sell cars told me the same.

The story goes on , I had enough of convassers and idiots so what i did , I`d advertice on a local polish site , a friend from work gave it to me , the strange thing was the first reply i had was a foreigner but was writing all in english wich it was strange , as my polish friend told me that only polish where using that site , and when i say that i mean peoples who don`t speak english .

this guy start to asking me loads of question about the car so I though it may be a genuine person , .........WRONG........... he come up with the story that he was english and working in Poland , that was all strange as I could see that his english wasn`t any better them mine and that his was buying a car for his dad , so he come up with I`ll pay you the car now and I will come back to UK and collect the car at boxing day , send me the invoice through pay pal and no one will lose anything as he told me that is full of scammist on the net and also to add the extra 3% as administration fee that pay pal charge on transaction like this .... how good it sound?????

so what i did i send an email to him telling that the pay pal invoice was just sent , I wrote the ammount and everything and ask him if he`d received , (but never sent one) so what i got back was an email (fake) from pay pal telling me that by mistake the person have send me an extra £800 and the money will be frozen for the next 3 weeks , untill things where sorted ..unless i was willing to pay the extra money in his Ucash account wich usually are untraceable or for people resident in differ country .

So after all I just decided to see how much it would have cost me to insure a car and start with no claim years , as i moved all my 11 years of no claim on the new car , just to find out the greater joke ever ...... basicly be a good driver only save me £100 a year and to start from zero year no claim would only cost me £100 more .... what a Joke
