I just sold an item to a guy from Hungary with him having my bank details and him also arranging UPS to collect …
All went A1 … no problems whatsoever.
I have spoken to my bank on this subject before and they say that money can only travel into my account and not out when I sell something this way.
Speak to your bank and ask the question matey.
Ps. I always use the bank transfer method after being fooked over by Paypal once.
I’ll NEVER use PayPal again …
Andy,
When I sold my last exige over seas I had this dilema. As most of it was financed up by lotus, I gave them authority to talk to the buyer. He made payment direct to them and they emailed me saying they had no further interest in the vehicle. The buyer was happy (as I presume he felt better paying lotus finance rather than me) and I was happy (as the finance company took the risk not me!). I dont know if this is an possible option for you?
Gav
Car is paid for now Gav so would need to be direct transfer to me.
He could be totally genuine but other than constant e-mails about wanting it he has asked very little about the car. Oh he’s called elvis too which I am not convinced by lol.
Ask the bank about this as already suggested, they can’t get at your cash with the details to send you money.
i have just worked out that “lives” is an anogram of “elvis”.
do i win a prize?
i’d like either -
a new fitted kitchen
a 2007 exige s260, or
a share in a nice boat
or Levis
as in ‘jeans’…
What’s an anagram of “flat”? 
That’s all well and good JFK, but was he called Elvis 
What about t’Alf - a Yorkshireman perhaps.
There y’go Boothmeister, sell t’Alf…the Yorkshireman 
No idea, sorry
I must get back to work but its too hot!
Hunkyadik …
Yes really 
Sold him a Subwoofer.
Elvis says he is sending me some money next week, so do I send him my bank details?
Mate, just because someone has your bank details it does not mean they can hack your account. But if you are worried, just call your bank and open up another account with zip in it and give him those details.
I think we can all get a bit paranoid about all of this stuff… just make certain however the funds are cleared with your banks approval before you let your car go! 
Exactly Pete !
Secretly I reckon Boothy don’t wanna sell the car…
If im ever selling owt and someone wants to put money in my bank account I don’t need asking twice !
Good idea…but opening a new account these days requires a bit more than a phone call.
Mate, I bank with Barclays… details are Sort Code 12-34-56, Account 789012345
They will allow me to have up to 4 accounts, and I can just open another with simply a phone call as they have all me details already!
Right… done that now…
… So off to buy this ripper steal deal on Pistonheads! 
Followed Pete’s link to your car,Andy. Seen it lots of times of course but it looks absolutely fantastic in those pics.
House and garden looks very neat,too. You need a new kitchen,though 
Cheers Buddy,
Other than a few sniffs not had a lot of interest this week. I am not moving on price as I have no need or rush to sell and its a lot of car for the money. I think its at a difficult price point as its too expensive for many to afford without finance and I cannot offer what a dealer can in that respect, however a dealer would want £30k for it I am sure.

my 2008 240PP upgraded to 260 went for 32k last September. 15k miles, sports seats, touring, and the best colour. I recon 30k at a dealer would be about right, but that would come with a service, mot, and a warranty.
yours is a fab car & priced to sell. Money is tight at the mo’ look at new sports car sales this year. it makes depressing reading.
Good luck fella.
The world is full of time wasters and day dreamers.
