Anyone done this? Bidding for a car on ebay near belfast and think I dont need to do anything apart from send the V5 to the uk address? How do the ferry people know that I'm not just stealing a car and driving it out?

I've checked travel arrangements and its not too bad. £57 from newcastle to belfast at 9am, exchange body organs for car, 8hr ferry journey to liverpool at 10pm at night , £220.

2 days to go and im highest bidder , wheres the 'omgomgomgomgomgomiwantthiscaromgomgomg' smiley

Hopefully one of them'll know..

What you buying?

A lad I know on a vauxhall forum bought a car over there a couple of years ago. As far as I am aware he just did the usual as its part of the UK so technically the reg docs transfer over. He's still got it on irish plates too so look at it as a cheap private reg!

I could be totally wrong like. Good luck!

cheers anyway kwaks. I've done a bit more searching and it looks like its a simple job, just send details when i get back.

I've been outbid but it was just a tester anyway

got a bit more in reserve. I've done an hpi check and its a bit wierd but not too bad

Ahhh a Jag, wonder how long before the parts are made in some Indian sweat shop.

Maybe they should pay you to take it away
