help to buy a car in UK
belgian2b - 25/7/23 at 02:00 PM

Hello,

i am in Belgium and as i have done in the past, i am looking to buy a car in UK, in Coventry. ( not a kit car)

i don't know any of you personnaly, but i have had the opportunity to post on this site during the build of my cars and i also bought some items in the for sale part of the site.

Now, as it happened many times before, the seller is quite afraid because i am not in UK.

So , is there somebody here that lives in Coventry that could help me ?
Somebody that i could give the reference to the seller ?
May be i can send a deposit to this person and this person could give it to the seller ?

I was hoping to come to Coventry this week-end to pick up the car

I'm in Northampton, about 45 minutes from Coventry. Not sure what I could do to assure the seller though?

Can we ask what car it was?

Anything interesting / well priced?

Something you can't get in Belgium?

it was a Discovery 3, really cheap.

The kind of car that only stays for sale for a few days.

I had a Discovery 2 that i sold a few weeks ago, and i am now looking to buy a Discovery 3.

Understood.

If the price is good a car will move quick!

I have a d3 and it's a nightmare. Lots of car for the money, but an absolute money pit.

Wow I've never known anyone actually look for a D3 willingly!
