Easy enough to open a new bank account, use it only for this transaction, and close it afterwards. No risk. Once the money's arrived (via wire transfer) remove it and, if everything's still in order, ship the car.

I sold a 911 on Ebay to an Austrian. I had the same concerns when he became the leading bidder early in the auction. Sent essentially the same questions to him as recommended above. He said he would wire the funds and was responsible for the shipping. He won the auction, $1800 over my reserve. The money was wired to my bank 4 days later. Far safer than a cashier's check. I sent the title to a shipping co. in LA (calship.com) after I received the money. The car will be picked up tomorrow. Seems to me he took all the risk.
The car will be trucked 1000 miles to LA, loaded into a container and shipped to Germany. I believe the cost is about $1500. The current euro/dollar exchange rates make our cars a bargain in Europe. Only downside was that I received $30 less than his bid because the dollar increased in value over the 4 days it took for the funds to reach my account. I did not complain! |
