Nothing will change his mind, its still a free world I hope.
If your not happy buying this way as long as you've checked everything re any monies outstanding etc you walk and IF you don't have the liquid this way in the first place its a no brainer anyway......
Not everyone wants to deal via net banking.

Mate I just sold my house.

Liquidity not a problem. Just thought I'd buy a toy before reinvesting into housing.

Dealing with sellers who worry the s^it out of me, and are aggressive over the phone is however a problem........

He owns a S500 Benz with AMG options - he can't be 95 and not understand electronic transactions......

Have you run a PPSR check on that Benz by the way? It should reveal the full VIN.

Yes it checks out fine mate.

So if you put the VIN into a free “decoder” it brings up any AMG details? Pretty sure they are as comprehensive as the BMW ones which often go down to the wheel style as delivered.

Hey MT, my comment was a general pov not pointed towards you fyi.

As for the topic once again, the ONLY issue I see about the seller is regards his aggressive nature as you've reported.
He wanting cash only as I've said isn't a total deal breaker to me IF you or any person wants that car he's selling, his agressive nature if me in discussion with him I would have just said, ok mate thanks but no thanks see ya later.

Whats the issue for some about a seller wanting cash only ?
I know quite a few HONEST people who buy and sell, cash is their choice.
Not every person is a crook so to speak.
If you've dotted your i's crossed the t's with checks on whatever you buy as xxx000 quotes whats the big deal ?
and IF someone else feels fine travelling along with $10 $20k plus in their possesion another were all different - I sure wouldn't be thinking oh I might get involved in accident prior - that its so bad that the ambos and whoever will raid my car, like what kind of negative mind set is this for eg.....
I've also written out reciepts dated, deposit paid balance to pay etcetc....
Nothing is yours till proof paid in full.
Selling privately is alot different comparing to dealing with a State Gov or corporate etcetc.....
This is a friggin mole hill that has become in todays over regulated cocka mani world.
The bloke is just selling a car wanting cash, he's a crook, report him to the ATO.
