Overseas transaction

Hi guys,
Really need some professional advice here. I'm looking to purchase a VW from the US valued at 10KUS but is worried about the payment side of things. What is the best and safest way paying for the car and having insurance to protect me from scammers etc? Any advice would be appreciated. Cheers

Paypal would work for paying for the car. There's probably better ways to do international fund transfers but thats a start.

Maybe if you have an independent shipping company you can just pay half and the shipping company confirms receipt of car before you pay remainder of funds.

Suggest buying a copy of Just Cars magazines and looking thru the advertisers in there, there are lots of businesses that adverrtise shipping, cutoms, quarantine etc, I have not used any of them but you can check them out and have a local to speak too.

Good Luck!

unique cars also have the advertisers...

and I use paypal for everything overseas

its great... you can get insurance too

international money orders cost lots.....$$$$$

thanks for the advice. I'm looking to go through ashipping company called http://www.schumachercargo.com/ and they have quoted me $2020 for pick up in new mexico and ship to sydney port, is this too cheap? Have anyone have any dealing with them? Oh with paypal, apparently they dont cover second hand car sales so I might be looking at escrow.com ? Anyone dealt with them?
