Hi guys,

Quick question,

A wholesale buyer from a big Ford dealership in Perth come to my house and bought my F6, and for the price I wanted too I might add, ($27,500 for a 2005 F6 tornado).

He has cashed the cheque into my bank account and wants pick up the car asap, I said only after the cheque has cleared and the funds are in my account. Should I trust this cheque and give the car to him before it clears?

I have contacted him via the dealership website and dealership phone number so I know he is an employee of the AHG affiliated ford dealership so nothing suss there.

He said he wants the car in the yard asap, I know the golden rule is never accept cheques but what you guys think if its from a major car dealership?

Cheers

I would wait until it had cleared.

They would not give you a car unless your cheque had cleared, so it is no different.

Its only a piece of paper not worth anything till funds are cleared

you can pay a fee to have the funds cleared in an hour.

So dont give him the car till you have the funds other wise you may loose out.

Cheque fraud is a serious matter, in the unlikely event it wasn't honoured you would have no worries getting your money out of a dealer. Their license depends on it.

However I wouldn't just take his word for it, if I had physically seen the cheque and deposited it myself then no worries.

Thanks for the help guys,

As you said Tab, I never actually saw the cheque at all as he banked it,

I think ill tell him im away at work for another week so he doesn't keep asking when he can pick it up, its definately not going anywhere untill the numbers are there now,

Cheers guys
