Shipping a car out of the country

[87gnforsale]

Hey all, I have arranged a deal on my car to sell however the owner is in West Africa. Would anyone know any good shippers whom ship cars to these kinds of locations?

(i think this will be the first Grand National in West Africa though)

This wasn't a deal where the buyer gave you the asking price sight unseen, and sent you a cashier's check including freight, was it? If so, you've probably just been scammed. The check is a fake.

not yet, I needed to find out shipping costs before any deal would be arranged. and my car wouldnt leave my possesion until the check cleared and i had all my cash. (is there a story about this somewhere i can read about this scam?)

just read some more, but now i am not accepting any Cashiers checks or i just get to keep my buick which isnt such a bad thing anyway

Here's a couple of examples. Hope you actually found a buyer, and things go OK for you, but be careful.

Forgot to say, on the Mortec link, look at the very first ad, "Fraud alert"

I had the same thing happen, and I contacted the authorities, and this is a scam DO NOT continue any correspondence with them!
