Hi,

I am from Finland and I am trying to sell my car to omeone from Belgium, but the communication is a bit difficult. I am trying to give him info about the car, but i don't like how google translates. Can anyone help?
this is the text:

Hello,

This is a loved and very well maintained personal car. It has 55,000 km with full service history. The price 14,000 euro is negotiable. More photos are attached to this email.
It was always kept in garage, original paint, no scratches and no mechanical problems. The car looks and drives like new. It was never involved in accidents. The last service (oil+filters) was done recently.

I worked as an engineer for 2 months in Bruxelles and I bought it from there for personal use. I recently returned to Helsinki, Finland (my home country) and I am selling it only because the import taxes are to high to register it in Finland. Economically, it is more convenient for me to sell it and buy another car from Finland.
The car is located in Helsinki with me right now. It has Belgium registration and number plates, Technical Inspection, Car-Pass, Certificate Of Conformity.

If you are interested in buying, I can send the car directly to your city using a car-transport company. I can pay for the transport cost. The transportation time is 3-5 days.
You can pay for the car directly to the transport company and I can allow you a few days to inspect it. If you don't like the car, you don't have to buy it and I will pay for the return-transport. But I am sure that you will love it because the car is exactly as described and as you see it in the pictures.

I look forward to hear from you if you are still interested. If you can speak English, please reply in English because it is much easier for me.

Regards,
Jani





Thanks alot!!

Hello janiranden!

Bonjour,

C'est une voiture personnelle, aimée et très bien entretenue . Elle a 55.000 km, avec l'historique complet des entretiens. Le prix de € 14,000 est négociable. Vous trouverez plus de photos en pièces jointes à ce mail.
Elle a toujours été abritée dans un garage, la peinture est d'origine, pas de rayures et pas de problèmes mécaniques. La voiture ressemble et se conduit comme une nouvelle. Elle n'a jamais été accidentée. Le dernier entretien (huile et filtres) a été fait récemment.

J'ai travaillé en tant qu'ingénieur pendant 2 mois à Bruxelles où je l'avais achetée pour mon usage personnel. Je suis récemment retourné à Helsinki, en Finlande (mon pays d'origine) et je la vends seulement parce que les taxes à l'importation sont trop élevées pour l’enregistrer en Finlande. Financièrement il est plus avantageux pour moi de la vendre, et d'acheter une voiture d’ici.
La voiture se trouve à présent avec moi à Helsinki. Elle est enregistrée en Belgique et elle a des plaques d’immatriculation, elle est en ordre pour l’inspection technique, elle a le Car-Pass et le certificat de conformité.

Si vous êtes intéressé pour l’acheter, je peux envoyer la voiture directement dans votre ville en utilisant une compagnie de transport de voitures. Je peux payer pour le coût du transport*. Le délai de livraison est de 3 à 5 jours.
Vous pouvez payer l’auto directement à l'entreprise de transport et je vous laisserai quelques jours pour l'inspecter. Si l’auto ne vous convient pas, vous n'avez pas à l'acheter, et je payerai pour le transport du retour.
Mais je suis certain que vous allez l'apprécier parce que la voiture est exactement comme décrite et telle que vous la verrez sur les photos

J’attends de vos nouvelles avec impatience, si vous êtes toujours intéressé par l'achat.
Si vous parlez l’anglais, merci d’avance de me répondre dans cette langue qui est beaucoup plus facile pour moi.

Bien à vous,
Jani

*
I have a doubt, when you write : "I can pay for the transport cost", does that mean that you maybe pay, or that you’ll pay?
If you'll maybe pay → Je peux payer pour le coût du transport.
If you are sure you will pay for it → Je payerai le coût du transport.

Thank you very much for your help!

Hi again,

So I managed to communicate with a buyer for my car who requested me to find a transport firm to send the car to his city. I got the necessary info, but again I'm having trouble with a correct translation. I would very much appreciate your help again with translating the following email:


"Hello,

I found an international transport company to send the car to your city. It is called "Anchor Vehicle Logistics". They have 15 years of experience in the business so I trust that they will be professional.
I contacted them to ask for details and the transport cost (465 EUR) is ok for me, I will pay it. The transport time to your city is 4 days.
Also, a big advantage for both of us is that they will help with the title transfer and all the paperwork so that you can be sure that you'll have all the necessary documents to register the car on your name when it arrives.

This is their contact info:

Website: www dot anchorvehiclelogistics dot com
Tel: +44(0)1772 886677

Company number: 6185439 (Legal information about them can be looked-up up online on the Government Register of Companies - companieshouse or other similar websites)


Most importantly, they offer a good intermediation service and we will make the exchange (car-money) through their company.
You can read more about the procedure on their website.

Everything sounds good to me and I am ready to arrange transport at any time. I can offer you 48 hours to inspect the car when it arrives so you can be sure it is a good car before you make a decision.

Please read the exchange procedure at the link I gave you above and if it sounds convenient to you, let me know and we can go forward.
To arrange the transport I need your following details: Full name, Address, City, Postal Code, Passport Number or Identity Document Number.

That's about it for now, if you need more info or clarifications please write back or call me (after 3:00 P.M. because I am at work until then).

Regards,
Jani "

Hi jani,
here's the translation you requested:

Bonjour,

j'ai trouvé une société de transport international pour envoyer la voiture dans votre ville. Elle s'appelle "Anchor Vehicle Logistics". Ils ont 15 ans d'expérience dans leur domaine, donc je pense qu'ils seront professionnels. Je les ai contactés pour demander des détails et le coût du transport (465 €) me convient, je le paierai. Le temps de transport vers votre ville est de 4 jours.
De plus, un gros avantage pour vous comme pour moi est qu'ils nous aideront pour le transfert et les papiers, et vous pourrez être sûr d'avoir tous les documents nécessaires pour faire immatriculer la voiture à votre nom dès qu'elle arrive.

Vous pouvez les contacter ici :

Site web : www dot anchorvehiclelogistics dot com
Tel: +44(0)1772 886677

Numéro de société : 6185439 (vous pouvez vérifier leurs informations légales en ligne sur "Government Register of Companies – companieshouse" ou sur des sites web similaires).

Plus important encore, ils offrent un bon service de mise en relation et nous pourrons faire l'échange (voiture-argent) grâce à leur société.
Vous pouvez en savoir plus sur cette procédure en lisant leur site web.

Tout me semble correct et je suis prêt à organiser le transport à tout moment, je peux vous donner 48 heures pour inspecter la voiture à son arrivée pour vous assurer de son état avant de prendre votre décision.

Je vous prie de lire ce qui concerne la procédure d'échange sur le lien que je viens de vous donner, et si ça vous paraît acceptable, dites-le moi et nous pourrons faire avancer les choses.
Pour organiser le transport, il me faut les informations suivantes : nom et prénom, adresse, ville, code postal, numéro de passeport ou de carte d'identité.

C'est à peu près tout pour l'instant, si vous avez besoin d'informations ou de clarifications supplémentaires, vous pouvez m'écrire ou me téléphoner (après 15 heures, car avant je travaille).

Cordialement,
Jani

Sylvana I can't thank you enough!

Hi,
One last request, can anybody please help?

Text to translate into French:

"Besides just transporting the car to the Buyer's address, AVL also offers an INTERMEDIATION service which consists in acting as an impartial intermediary (3rd party) to make the transaction between the seller and the buyer safe and hassle-free.


The transaction between the Seller and the Buyer is made easily in just a few steps:

Step 1: The Seller contacts AVL and gives full details about the car and the transport destination.

Step 2: AVL sends a truck along with a company representative to the Seller's address. An INTERMEDIATION CONTRACT is signed by the Seller. The contract specifies the details of the Seller, of the Buyer, of the car and the exact transaction steps. After the contract is signed, the car is prepared for transport and it is loaded on the transport truck. The Seller also provides all the documents of the car necessary for the Buyer to register the car in his country.

Step 3: AVL contacts the buyer and provides full details about the car, the transport and the payment. The Intermediation Contract is also forwarded to the buyer for signing.

Step 4: The buyer transfers 30% of the car's price to Rowan Vehicle Logistics' bank account as a security deposit. The funds are kept in AVLs' bank account until the car reaches the Buyer's address.

Step 5: After the funds are transfered to the AVL bank account, the AVL transport truck leaves towards the Buyer's address. The transportation time is between 3 and 7 days, depending on the destination.

Step 6: The car arrives at the Buyer's address. The Buyer is offered a number of hours or days (according to the agreement with the seller) to inspect the car.

Step 7(a): If the Buyer is satisfied with the condition of the car, he pays the remaining balance to AVL by bank transfer or in cash and RVL hands him all the necessary documents of the car.

Step 7(b): If the Buyer is not satisfied with the car's condition, he has the right to refuse the car and in this case, AVL will immediately refund him the deposit he has made (30%). The car will be then transported back to the Seller.

Step 8: After the Buyer has accepted the car and he has transferred all the funds to AVL, the car and the documents will be handed to him.
In the end, AVL will transfer the funds to the Seller and the transaction is complete!

Safe, easy and with no hassle.

Key points:

- Both the Seller and the Buyer are assured of the safety of the car and the money. The funds stay in the bank account of AVL until the end of the transaction.
- The Seller does not receive any part of the payment until the Buyer inspects the car and confirms that he is satisfied with the car's condition."
