Yeah, Reddit basically says cash or bank draft only. E-transfers can be disputed and reversed. While not super common, this guy changed his story once already. I've already created the bills of sale, and once I've signed over the ownership, it's no longer mine apparently.

I received a lot of generic "is it still available" or "I'll give you $2000" messages. I tended to ignore them and respond to people who wrote out a message.

Several people said they'd come by and bailed. It's just how Marketplace goes. The ad has been marked "pending" for the last two weeks, I may have to re-open it.

I'm also pretty surprised it's still around. If someone can do there own work they'd have a reasonably well sorted Highlander for not much money.

If someone mentions shipping or export, I simply respond "Thank you for your inquiry, unfortunately this vehicle is not available for shipping/export." then ignore them.

Fair enough, I'm not overly concerned as long as I've done everything correctly.

Over half of the actual offers have been from people wanting to export it, so saying no eliminates a large part of the market.

Yeah, I wouldn't exclude exporters, just be sure to document everything. Signing the ownership means nothing, dude chucks that piece of paper in the trash and the vehicle remains registered to you
