No dodgy notes.
I'm genuinely shocked, didn't think this was going to bode well for you.
Hope the car is insured while your away & safely tucked away.

still might not be Genuine, you still "officially" haven't sold the car, you haven't handed over the keys yet, and done the V5 and got all the money yet, he still might do a runner
No. They all drive like **** morons and it will get crashed.
(I've got some Maltese family and been there loads so am allowed to say that)
This. They don't drive on the left or right, they drive in the shade over there.

Thanks, I was quite sad to see it go, but I got a good price for it.
No not yet, I test drove a new Smart Car today as a run around but hated it so I will go and take a look at the AyGo tomorrow.
I think I will hold off buying a 991 until I find the right one.

Fixed that for you
Glad the sale went through well, have to admit I was sitting in the "scam" camp!
Hmm, suspect you'll hate that too if you hated a smart.
The up/citygo/whatevertheseatoneis is a little better if you're happy with the higher initial outlay

Glad it was genuine. Out of interest, do you know how he was planning on getting it home? Driving it would be a truly epic journey!
Furthest south I've driven is lake como, and that was awesome fun, done as part of a holiday rather than just driving though.

Come on chaps ... effectively there is a huge influx of second hand ( mainly British ) cars in Malta.

Was the buyer's ebay: jsd183 ???
Had a guy from Malta win the auction for my dads Smart ForTwo at £4000, sent him a message and he said "I hope £3500 is acceptable" because I need to export to Malta
.
Checked what he had bid on/won auction of in the past 30 days and it was in the Cars -> Porsche category

Just so people know - in Malta it's hard to get these types of cars, because of their location and cars are so expensive over there.
As you proceeded with caution you covered your bases. I have a friend who lives in Malta and used to drive an s2000 - he was also very, very picky with cars. Used to keep his under a blanket, in a garage, with the air conditioning on 24/7 - I know.....

It's also the fact that the UK often has some of the lowest 2nd hand car prices anywhere thats not the US.
