Help please with motor home purchase.
We are at last getting ready to buy privately.
We had to wait 6 weeks while the vendor's personalised plate was changed and he came back from his five week holiday.
1.He wants us to send a cheque for a substantial amount of money and let it clear. I think this is dicey as we will have no receipt and no written agreement.
2.He wants to meet us half way to our home. We want to handover at his house where we can ensure all the extras have been included as per advert. I want to see the remedial work CLS found is done before we hand over our money ( Failed battery/light broken/good clean,- exterior and interior- it's been standing for several months).
3. Is the best way an electronic transfer? We are going to write this weekend. We don't have full confidence that the battery will be sorted - all these things should be as we are offering full price.
[/SIZE]Suggestions please! on the safest way to do this. I feel we need other people's expertise.
