Unless of course the cash is counterfeit. Have you checked it's authicity(sp?)?

They proabbly pay alot for cars like the Camry in African countries. In the UK people steal cars to order, hide them in crates and ship them to Africa/Middle East. There are car parks full of stolen luxury cars in those countries with new plates ready to be sold on. I saw a documentary on it. Oh, and..

I went to Canada and was surprised how similar Canadian money is to British. The coins are almost identical.

We don't have 50 Cent coins anymore, since like 10-15 years.

I have a half-dollar piece, but it's U.S.

too bad you cant track where the car goes. lojack anyone?

my brother donated a car to a cancer foundation. three months later he gets a phone call from the state troopers of a nearby state. they found 'his' car abandoned on the highway and had it towed. the person who bought the car from the foundation never registered it so it was still under my brothers name. he probably could have gotten the car back but instead called the foundation and they took care of it.

The car's not under my name as soon as the X plate goes on it.

Xplates are transport plates, selling your car to someone that has an xplate is the easiest thing, you don't have to transfer the car's registration, you sign the paper stating he's taking posession, you give the guy your current registration and he takes off with it. Otherwise I would've had to go to the SAAQ for registration transfer and everything. Pretty sweet deal.

If I do this again, for example I buy another cheap beater, I go to the SAAQ to trf it to my name, get a registration certificate for it and a transit plate to drive it home, then give the guys a call, they come with an X, give cash, then pick it up. Rinse, repeat as many times as good deals come by.
