I absolutely recognise what your saying as a buyer, and totally understand what you are saying about the risks buyers take and the need to let people know that, but as a seller, I would never allow someone to take the vehicle, with title, when I hadn't received payment in full. It's financial suicide and I think to recommend people do this is somewhat reckless.
It's not that different to buying any second hand vehicle. know the law, know what your looking at, know what your doing. You can get ripped off just as easily in the UK as in a foreign country. The only difference is in your own country you have a better idea of how the system works and what the paperwork involves.
It's why I can't envisage ever buying a vehicle from someone already travelling. I would always want to visit that person at their home.
Do you really want to risk all that money you have saved for your dream trip like this?
