$20,087.25 worth of BTC for sale.

The offer to wire money was not a serious offer.  And I do not want a wire to me, I wanted it to the dealership.

The offer looked real. Was something said in pm? Use escrow on LBC, it is only 1%.

Nobody is going to wire to your dealership. Third party trades are a nightmare.

WU and MG will not do a bank wire for that amount without putting a hold on it, and IDing the shit out of everyone, and demanding IRS paperwork and deducting taxes on the spot.  Not to mention fees.

Make several trades under $10k. Anything around or above $10k triggers the IRS notification.

And WU, MG etc want fees,

Buyer is always responsible for fees.

Thanks for the effort I went with Beepi =)
It was insanely easy.

Did OP manage to close the deal successfully? Just being curious of the outcome.

[omegaflare]

This is dodgy. Extremely fishy.

I guess you shouldn't be here fearmongering those people on this forum, LE.

[ClownSpider]

Did OP manage to close the deal successfully? Just being curious of the outcome.

Yes I did take the advice of going to beepi.com!
I told them WOW, it was SO easy to buy a car with them.
They did all the paperwork for registration and EVEN took the effort to shop around and find me multiple insurance quote offers!  I do not need that, but they are one stop shopping for real.

My new car is on a flat bed truck, on it's way to me right now!
It will show up with a bow on the hood and everything!
I did not get it right away as I wanted.
But I do feel like I got a very honest price and fair deal for the money with a full long warranty, and some crazy 300? point inspection done for me.   I even get a 10 day money back guarantee if it turns out I change my mind or got mad about something.

Very nice website and advice from the community!
This community always has good answers to stuff that I could NOT have found in the haystack of google search results millions of links deep.

You guys rock.

Thanks @ClownSpider for keeping everyone updated. I hope you enjoy your new ride! But what happened to your Bitcoins?

[ClownSpider]

Thanks @ClownSpider for keeping everyone updated. I hope you enjoy your new ride! But what happened to your Bitcoins?

Nothing happened to my bitcoins.  What are you talking about?
I am buying a car, with bitcoins, and I still have more bitcoins.  So what do you mean?

Haha. Sorry. I did not ask clearly:

(1) You've managed to sell your bitcoins for cash, then purchase the car?

(2) Or you exchange your bitcoins with the car dealer for the car?

If it is the latter, isn't that a historical breakthrough for bitcoins?

[ClownSpider]

It was #2.
I was able to buy a car directly with Bitcoin!
omg omg omg!
And I would call that historical.
However the website ships nationally, and accepts BTC.
Some other random, far away dealers also advertise accepting BTC.
And there is a rumor of a guy buying a Tesla or Lambo with BTC.  The result being people incorrectly claiming that Tesla accepts BTC, and they do NOT.  Not on their website.

Good to read you managed to put your BTC to great use - I hope you put one BitCoin into a paper wallet as a memento for the future?

In an case, you might want to lock this thread to save others asking for trades (link bottom left hand side).

You've managed to trade your bitcoins for a car? That should be on national news or Coindesk.com!

Thank you.
Best use of bitcoin I found so far!
I have a question for you.
What is a "paper wallet"?  Because I had a guy want to pay me 4 BTC, but he DEMANDED that I give him a paper wallet.
He offered instructions to import/export.  I cussed him out and told him I was not stupid, and I will not give him my private key.  I also caught him lying about paying me with Paypal, then his bank.  So his story changed from paypal paying me via bitcoin, to his bank sending the BTC.  No bank does that and paypal does not do that.  He claimed it was normal because they require a paper wallet.  I told him to fuck off.  He had my wallet address and that is all I was going to provide.   Fucking scammers.
I have 42 BTC left, so I think that is savings enough.  In 2 years I hope it will be more widely accepted and go up in value.

A paper wallet just means you are printing your public AND private key for offline storage?

It is a fun thread.

[ClownSpider]

Yes and they dealership did call me to ask for permission to invite the media that has been wanting to do a story on this once someone paid in BTC.   But I declined as I do not want to be on TV or be known.  This is bitcoin after all.

What is a "paper wallet"? ...

A paper wallet just means you are printing your public AND private key for offline storage?

Usually, it's a private key that is generated offline, never on any network, and printed on paper. Usually the public key is also printed. Sometimes you just print the private key in wallet import format (the ones that start with 5 or K or L), or you also include a QR code.

You could use Core and export the private keys, or vanitygen, or paperwal.py, or bitaddress.org. There are several others. The point is to print one, and send your coins to that address.

When you need to use your coins, you then import the private key, or sweep it, or otherwise make a transaction.

Since it is on paper, the only way for someone to steal your coins is to get possession of that paper. So you safe guard your paper wallet, store it in a fireproof safe at home or a safety deposit box at your bank.

Those metal engravings or wood/stone carvings, or etched on plastic/glass are all "paper" wallets, just using different materials.

Next on the list: A property fully paid by BTC! haha.

[ClownSpider]

Yes so that guy claiming his "bank" would send me BTC but required I create a paper wallet, was attempting to scam me for a private key, and failed.

Yes a property would be nice!

First article to come up on google says they been accepting for a while now and first sale would get 1k off price

[justspare]

I would like a car tomorrow.
An exchange requires time, verification time, and a US bank account, all things I don't have time for.
I also do not have a USA bank account.

Rome wasn't built in a day. It takes time to do things. Use an exchange and wait a bit of time. This seems like a scam.

Nice.  I did not get a 1k discount however.  Must be old news.

I can confirm Beepi.com do accept a payment fully for a car in Bitcoin,

I just chat with a sales man on their website using online chat and he confirmed this. Quite impressive !!!

Yes indeed.  click any car, click "make this car mine" (or whatever) and Bitcoin is an option.
I confirm they accepted BTC.

If you are not going to read how this thread concluded to see that it is finished successfully, then shut the fuck up you stupid jackass.

[viking02]
