They want to send you the transfer form but no offer to view it?
Its probably not a scam but it (to me) sounds that it could be too messy to get involved in.

It's not a great deal either. It works out nearly €12k, for €9-10k you could get a similar avensis from a dealer with a 12 month warranty.

I emailed the guy and he replied asking me for my name and address so he could foward transfer papers to me.
No phone number, no information on him or the car, also received two emails with different names on each,
I reckon its a scam and he will be looking for my bank account details next.

Sounds well dodgy! Definately wouldn't do anything with out a viewing at the very least.
