can you confirm what happened here?  So you bought a car with btc and didn't need anyones help here?


where are you located by the way?  I assume the usa right and you are american?

I did buy a car with bitcoin from a dealership.
I would like to THANK RodeoX for the advice on Beepi.

You could just buy the car with bitcoin and avoid all the hassle?

Buy any kind of car:
http://cars.overstock.com/?referrer_id=ZOSCOHP0001&TID=HEAD:Cars

Buy any car and have it delivered:
https://www.beepi.com/

Have a custom electric car made to order:
https://www.teslamotors.com/


There are actually many other car dealerships that take bitcoin. Your wasting your time and bitcoin switching back and forth between currencies. Bitcoin IS MONEY!

My race, nationality, and citizenship do not exist.  I am just an anonymous voice online.  =)
Thank you.

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

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.  Angry

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.
Car bought.  Escrow offered but not needed or wanted.

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.

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!

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

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. 


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

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.

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).

Regards,

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.

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? Smiley

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.

Thanks @ClownSpider for keeping everyone updated. I hope you enjoy your new ride! Smiley 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?

Did OP manage to close the deal successfully? Smiley 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.

This is dodgy. Extremely fishy.

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

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.
