reads:-

 

Hello there,

 

I appreciate that you contacted me. First of all,the car will be shipped

from Ireland where I`m located due to my job. I have a car from my job to

drive here, so I can`t keep the 2002 BMW 530 anymore, pay insurance and all

the associated taxes, as I have a 5 years contract here. It is very

difficult for me to drive a right-handed car in Europe, so I`m forced to

sell it, but my lost will be your gain.There is no outstanding finance on

the car. It has not been stolen, has no damage, no scratches or dents, no

hidden defects. It is in immaculate condition,meticulously maintained and

hasn't been involved in any accident. The motor runs awesome. The tires are

like new. The car meets United Kingdom DOT and EPA guidelines so there will

be no problems regarding UK Customs policy on receiving the car. The car

comes with log book, HPI cleared, it is free of encumbrances and liens. You

will get from me the keys and all documents to register the car into your

name.

Buy it now price is £2.700.00 with shipping/handling included. If the car is

not how I`ve described it, I will offer a full refund, upon the return of

the item in original condition (return postage at my expense).It will be

insured during transportation and will be delivered in front of your door.

The payment will be made through Ebay and only after you will receive the

car i will receive the payment. If you agree with these terms, please email

me your full name and address and I will be more than glad to start to

complete the transaction with you.

Please respond quickly,

 

so i emailed him back saying that i would come to ireland to see the car for myself and this was the reply

 

Hello there,

I have to let you know that the car will be sold only trough ebay and not cash on collection.I want to let you know that is very easy to buy from eBay.Send me your complete name and address so eBay can contact you regarding the sale.They will also show you a few steps in how to complete the transaction.The car drive and look awsome.Please let me know if you are still interested.

Best wishes!

 

so this looks to me as a scam what do you think fellas??

 

should i get him to bring the car over or steer well clear??

LOL Yeah surely a scam, string the tosser along a bit though.

 

The seller on the auction looks legit, wonder whats going on?

 

Edit, going by the questions at the bottom it looks like the guys account has been hijacked :(

I agree.

I think someone has managed to get onto this guys Ebay account and used it unauthorised.if u look on the questions bit the guy denies all knowledge of it being his.

SCAM! I bet he wants paying by Western Union!!! It looks like someone has gained access to the real Ebayers account!

lol the auction was ended days ago

yeah! thought so flipping cheek of some poeple, probably wants western union as you say, the car isn't his probably either LOL!!

 

shame i cant get him to bring it over and then say nah!! LOL!!

SCAM SCAM SCAM! they drive me fecking crazy! i dealt with a similiar thing, was bidding on a 450bhp engine for my s13, bloke said hed sell it for 1000 which sent alarm bells ringing, the stupid coont had no idea about engines, couldnt even spell english properly and suprise wanted paying western union! and people who are genuine dont need to write things like its not stolen! should go without saying! and things like what happens if there not satisfied, obviously just trying to cover his own arse, feckin shop him, dob him in! scumbags!
