Why do u even send a cent to a stranger?
If he cant fuel the car and take it the buyer then let him sell it hapo machinani.

not always.
"a friend" was bitten once by those criminals while changing houses. they will advertise something like 2br in a nice area at "good prices". you take all caution and clealry describe what you are looking for. they say its available, then you pay 2500 and are shown very bad houses.

be careful with agents.

Drool Drool @ Muchknow now that your bring this up maybe it should be the next frontier.
I wouldn't wait to hear a guy talking of how he bought a Merc only to find it has the engine of a beetle. Laughing out loudly Laughing out loudly It would be a practical case of Ni kama Drama, ni kama vindeo!!

Unless the current house you are leaving in has been invaded by mademonis and jinis, never be in a hurry to move houses, anyone looking for a tenant will never want you to pay even a single cent just to view the house, even the landlords/ladies are tired of the agents, they will want the hse vacant as long as possible so they can make more money and the owner loses in such cases
