[mick-skyline]

never heard of needing a VIN number to buy a car.. deffo be sceptical, you got a username?? might be someone to keep an eye on,

 

[peter r33]

Pm'd u details

 

[mick-skyline]

relpied mate, i wouldnt but its up to you

Maybe get a good Jap car importer/exporter to mediate for you?
He'll obviously want a fee but saves you any complications
and potential mis-understandings or shortcomeings mate?

Just an idea IMO here.

All he's got to do is a UK hpi check on your car and he'll get the VIN anyway (your reg is clearly visable in your pics)

If I was selling overseas though I'd do as recommended above

In a lot of other countries, using the VIN number is common. Not sure if it is in .cz or not, but in the USA, for example, you'll find the VIN in eBay listings and the like.

Even over here, for a fresh import you'll need to provide your insurance company the VIN until you have a UK registration, so it's probably genuine.

once he has paid you a 50% deposit , he has to to the reg thing in hiis country , and then you de reg it here ,

my friends at Autobmc.com sell a few to germany , maybe worth ringing him for some help regarding the de -reg and how to go about the actual transaction

the german ones when the guys turn up they already have their german plates .


paypal would be your safest bet regarding money , if you do it as a gift you dont get charged fees , there are ways getting round not paying fees , just paid my bodyshop guy same way so could put my bill on my cc without vat

i'm overseas and have bought a few cars in the UK
i always needed the VIN up front to arrange insurance over here
everyone has been kind enough to give me that number
if not i wouldnt have bought the car because i wouldnt have insurance to take it home

 

[pro_sniper]

Yup, same here in Norway when I bought my R33 from the UK.

Needed the VIN to insure it up until the point I had it registered ...at which point I could give the license plate number to the insurance company.

the easyest way for the buyer is, if the seller of the car makes a insurance for a few days.
