I would not transact on this basis. If you cannot go to the dealer to inspect the package and you don't have tine, I'd look closer to home - its not exactly a rare numbers model. But its your money and entirely your decision.

I don't understand why he refuses to take cash to return in UK.
"it seems the best and most economical way to get the car to you is to drive it. I would probably do this myself to make sure it arrives safely..I would need to catch Eurostar back from Lille Station so would prefer meet there. The cost to do this is £400. Train costs to Waterloo then back to Stroud £210 Ferry £75 . Fuel £80.00. variables £35.
Can you let me know if this is acceptable. This would take the total cost of the car to £5700.00"
"I do have a service book that i can take pictures of if necessary. I can only suggest you collect the car and pay on collection. We do not let cars go without payment and I would not be happy carrying cash back through customs.
My offer stands at £5300 collected."
