No. We accept only the bank remittance payment method because it provides both the buyer and the seller an official written record of the payment transaction.
Are pre-export inspections required?
The pre-export inspections are mandatory prior to exporting the vehicle for some countries. Please visit the appropriate government authorities in your country to obtain all required pre-export inspections lists. References to these authorities can be found in our FAQ section “Country Regulations”. While many countries in the past have not enforced this regulation, it has been reported that they are beginning to impose large fines for violations. Please make sure that the condition of your purchase is inspection inclusive if there is such mandatory by your country’s government.
