cheers. I'm buying private though and that website seems to be more orientated at depositing to foreign accounts which the car sellers aren't keen on divulging their banking info!

its nothing to do with banking info really, it's about getting the best rate and getting the money transferred quickly. May not be suitable for you, but you could set it up in advance and lock in the rate and then call them to transfer money when you are happy with the car. It'd be there in a couple of hours.
