Hello,

My car is in very good working, mechanical and cosmetic condition, no accidents. Reg number is MJ11WPM, 89.000 miles with FSH, HPI clear, MOT till 06/2016, I have attached pictures including the HPI check. I'm located in Norway as I moved here with my work 1 month ago. I'm selling because I got a new left-hand-drive car from work which is much suitable for driving around here than a rhd car. I can assist with shipping if you are not able to come and pick up and I can cover most of the shipping fees as well. I can sell you the car for £4,200 including shipping.

Regards,
James

Hi Xxxxxxx,

As I told you in my previous email, I moved with my job to Trondheim, Norway and I took the car with me. The car is still registered in UK with all taxes paid there and is without any accident. I can sell for £4,200 including shipping to your address. It will take approx 4-5 days for the car to arrive to your address. A coworker of mine who bought a car from Germany recommended me a service offered by a British shipping company which can help us. Here is how the whole process works. They will act like a third party between us to ensure the whole transaction. This means you pay them, they deliver the car to your address, you get 10 days inspection period and if everything is ok on your part I get paid by them. If anything is not as described then you will get a full refund from them and the car will be picked up from your address. Let me know.

Thank you,


Hi Xxxxxxx,

I will entitle the shipping company to act on my behalf during the ownership change. The shipping company will require half of payment for the motor home in advance and it won't release it to me unless you confirm that everything is ok with the motor home. You will get a full refund from them if you ask for it within the 10 inspection days. If you will decide to keep the motor home after the 10 days inspection period, you will have to pay the remaining balance to the company.
If you agree, I will need the name and address where the motor home is to be shipped in order to start the procedure through the shipping company. You will then receive an invoice from them with all the details needed to move forward.

Regards,
James


All of a sudden the Mini turns into a Motorhome :laugh-s:

Hi,

I need also your full name. Are you registered at the address provided?

James


Hi Xxxxxxx,

I forwarded your details to the shipping company. They informed me that they can not start the transaction because they can not find you registered at the address provided. Please provide a proof of the address (bill or something in your name) so I can send it to the company in order to proceed with the transaction.

Regards,
James

Hello,

I am glad to hear that you are interested in my: 2011 Range Rover Sport HSE White - 39,500 Miles,UK registered,Right Hand Drive.It still has UK registration,so you won't have to pay any import and insurance fees.The car is in great condition,no engine problems,damages or hidden defects.I`m selling it so cheap because we've recently moved to Spain-(VIGO). Price is low because the car is right hand drive in a country where all cars are left hand drive so in Spain is very difficult to drive this type of vehicle and nobody wants to buy it here in Spain.The price I'm after is £ 8,295 including delivery to your home address and full insurance during shipping.
Please let me know if you're interested so I can provide you with further details.

Thanks for your interest,
Gary Mallett

The shipping fees are already paid.
