Default Anyone ever used Worldpay to buy a car?

I am talking to a guy about buying a 91 CRX, but it's in Texas and i'm in Washington st. It is a REALLY good price and he has offered to ship it free of charge through DAS. He wants to use Worldpay to complete the transaction but i've never heard of them. Has anyone ever used this service?

Seems the best thing to do is contact worldpay directly and give them the invoice number to see if its legit. Even so, I wouldn't do it.

"REALLY" good price? or "Too good to be true" price?

Almost too good to be true! It just sounds fishy!

What "almost"?

Shipping a car can cost hundreds, if not thousands of dollars depending on distance. If the price is already "really" good and then free shipping on top of it, it is TOO good.

At least you asked. You'd have felt really stupid if you went through with it.

Also rememeber no one will ship a cheap car for free.

You could always get one of us local Texas guys to check the car out first.
