I was speaking to the guy selling the 430 at link below on Sat, I called with a view to buying it. I had a quite lengthy chat with him including the fact one of his relatives works for the local Lexus outlet. I mentioned the suspension problems I'd heard about on the 430's & he told me the one advertised had had the suspension more or less collapsed, his garage has fixed it all, so I guess no more suspension probs for quite a few (I think fixed with Lexus parts, check) he says the LS 400 a far better car, more or less said their quality & build can never be beaten by any car (exclude's RR & Bentley). So after quite an interesting and amiable chat, I decided against the 430 & managed to get a deposit down on a LS 400, to collect Sat.
I would say though, IMO the guy is a good guy to deal with & also bear in mind this is a 2002 car & in the context of cars in general an old car, though much younger than the LS I have a deposit on, check link & maybe have a chat with him.

Thanks Phil, now I understand it fully & correctly, personally I would never give my account number to some stranger online, it's asking for trouble. Paypal also will also take your money back, I think a request must be made within 7 or 14 days, anyway the seller did not break any part of the contract made steve & himself, no legal case to answer, Steve made the offer, the seller accepted on the terms they had both agreed, I think Ive just seen it on eBay, as usual with an LS400 it looks great, bonnet and all.

Hi, This post attracted my attention because of money passing between total strangers to each other. I have never done a bank transfere & all my online payments are done by paypal or a straightforward debit payment, if I am not satisfied with something I simply get my bank to refund back into my visa account (done it a couple of times).
Steve, my understanding of bank transfers is that bank account numbers must be exchanged, ( very valuable to the wrong person, remember the talk talk fiasco?) does that mean the car seller now has your bank account number? Apart from that, the seller woud have 'no case to answer in any UK small claims court.

Yes your right,you can pay through paypal but, if it's a payment to friends or family then there is no charge to them or you, but, if its a payment to a commercial seller the seller has to pay a % at some level, so I think paypal would start to query if large sums started passing to someone, I put a £50 deposit on a car on Sunday via paypal no probs except the other side had to wait 72 hours I think because they seem not to have used paypal much at all & the last time they think was around 2006. I had the same payment problems a few weeks ago with a different item again with private individuals they seem to want to trade on he net without the facilities, the nets been around long enough and those people need to put more effort into learning using it when trying to get a buyer (xxxx number of miles away) who cannot pay them because they have no facilities.
