unsure whether to put this in the jokes bin or not.
Basically the situation is that we have a toyota aygo on finance and we are in a good position that the car after we take out our deposit and the interest paid to this point and remaining finance is worth more than we owe etc...
So, im in not massive rush to get rid of it as i know that if we brought it from toyota we would be getting a good deal, however in light of trying to make a bit of money i put it on autotrader around the asking price.
I got the below response. I would never accept a bankers draught (unless it was an ale) or even a Draft, having worked in a bank, but waiting until a cheque has cleared and drawing down on the money before signing the v5? wtf..

Good Afternoon,
Thanks for your quick response and am also excited to hear from you that the vehicle is still available for sale.
And thanks for the information you just gave about the vehicle and am quite delighted to hear from you that the vehicle is still in great conditions.
The reason why am purchasing this vehicle is because My self and my husband just need one additional vehicle.
Please i want you to email me more pictures aside from the one on web advert page if is still available both the exterior and interior.
Due to my condition i will not be able to view the vehicle at present because i'm heavily pregnant with set of twins,and the distance as well.
My personal circumstances do not allow me to travel,like wise my husband is away on a business trip.
According to the Features of the vehicle and the Full Description of the vehicle which i saw on the advert page i'm fully satisfied.
I want you to accept my offer of £5,600 inclusive the advert fees just because I know what the worth of the vehicle ,and also for you to reserve the vehicle for me.
The only way you will release the vehicle to any one is when the cash is in your hand, i.e. payments cleared at bank, and withdrawn.
I am located in Wales.
I will only required your full name and your postal address, so that the bankers draught could be posted to you via royal mail.
My preffered method of payment is by bankers draft /Cheque in a (GBP) which may take 3 to 5 working days to Clear.
Please note that you will only release the vehicle until you have received confirmation from your bank that the payment has been given value and cleared.
I hope to hear from you today in order to proceed further with the payment and shipping arrangements as soon as possible.
I look forward to hear back from you today.
Cheers
Mrs Maxwell
