    Like i stated in my privious email that you will receive a cheque more than your asking price for the payment of your sale and shipment cost. After you might have deduct your asking price for the car you will be trasfering the excess money to the shipping company that will be coming for the pickup of the item, Hope you clear now

    Tell him you need five euros to transfer over the ownership of the car. If he sends you the money take a picture of the car and post it to him.

    Gumtree?????

    Why not post an ad on Gumtree giving you name, address, date of birth, birthplace, mothers maidan name etc so you won't have to go through the hassle of e-mails in order to get rode.

    Seriously, wtf were you thinking using Gumtree???
    It's full of Nigerians & Asians selling 50'' tv's for €200, alarm bells should go off when you see ads like that.
