Hi, Lord V, Many many thanks for joining in. I agree with your views and have already said I wouldn't expect him to travel to me, that I would have to travel to him. Would ask to see his driving license make sure addresses match. Even expect to look at paperwork within his home, if like you say, genuine. Would never agree to meet halfway between address.or on car park of any sort! Home address or nowhere.
Haven't asked these questions yet, as not going any further forward unless he willing to come down substantially in price. If not will to come to maximum of £7k, then not worth even driving to view/see paperwork/test drive. Only just started conversation with seller through autotrader website. If he is willing, then I will go forward with further questions regards as to why pics on trading estate! As mentioned, if genuine, may think that car park on trade estate is not highway, as maybe at time when car SORN-the car check I paid for, does not give date when car sorn, but is best detailed check totalcarcheck do. Everything else matches and no other issues raised. It seems to tie in with what seller has said up to now.
From my last message to him, I turned it around and made him aware of the lengths I am willing to go to make sure all is above board, regarding due diligence etc, as I am sure he would appreciate. I might have scared him off :'(
