Is there a reputable company that I could trust with £5k to go collect a car from an ebay seller and deliver it to me?

I dont think the listing is a scam, but previous feedback is discouraging, albeit I'd like the car.

Lizard logistics, i think he's called on here. He's Oxford based and moved a car for me before.
He seems like a good guy

Think I'd want to be looking at the car before handing over £5k!

Where is the car? If it's near me I'll cheerfully be your in-between (East Yorkshire).

Sure some other pistonheaders would do the same for you.

Indeed. I used to do it for a living.

Its in Penzance.

I'm on Isle of Wight.

It needs a water pump. II guess I could get him to drop it off at a local garage, have a pump fitted, then go on the train and get it.

I’d be wondering why, if it only needs a water pump, it’s not been done so it can be sold as a runner.

I got someone from Shipley. He called to say he could see the car / it wasn't a scam. I transferred the money electronically to dealer. Shipley man delivered the car. I made sure, as part of the build up, I had very detailed description first, so a contract in essence, but it all worked well.

Do you mean Shiply, or the town in West Yorkshire?
