The internet has become a way of life in the world of commerce. We enjoy some 8 to 10 deals a month over the net. The key is to be very careful and once you have the procedure down, don't deviate. We try our best to overcome the objections of those doubting Toms, but sometimes it is impossible. We don't release titles or autos till paid in full! We just got a wire transfer Monday from Alberta, Canada for 32,500 for an 03 M5. There is daily contact via phone and fax. It is necessary to offer ongoing exchange of info to keep everyone confident that they are dealing with a reputable business, and we in turn are dealing with a credible buyer. The M5 is still at my place under lock and key awaiting his carrier.
We also recommend the customer have a franchised dealer perform an inspection of the vehicle as an independent third party and at the buyers expense. The franchised dealer contact is made by the buyer (not us). We will provide them phone numbers to 2 or 3 in our area and they make the arrangements. We accomodate their needs by delivering the vehicle to the franchised dealer for the inspection at our expense. We also provide Carfax, Autocheck, and previous maintenance records when available.
Also, like Jonnie we have an account used exclusively for wire transfers. So far, so good.
We also get the Nigerians wanting to send us money. We say "send it on, we needs it", no takers yet.
Roger that!
