Default Buying a car

Hi there,I've got to sell my scooby as i now work out of town and the miles are clocking up and i've found a car i want to buy and it is currently in madrid.I was wondering if anyone knows how to check if a internet company that operates in madrid is genuine.I've been on pistonheads looking for an audi a3 tdi and have found one for sale and it is been dealt with by the shipping company called iscan express the website is Welcome to ISCAN EXPRESS.

My only concern is that iscan express doesn't come up in a google search,the seller has just moved to spain and the car is currently over there awaiting shipment.

I'm a very cautious person and think maybe something is amiss.

Does anyone know how to check if a website is genuine?

thanks

Mark

Yeah seems very odd to me that such a supposedly large company does not appear on a search.
