Hello,

 

Thank you for your email. I can tell you that the car is in perfect condition. Never involved in accidents. I take good care of it and i can tell you for sure that if you will purchase the car from me you will be more then satisfied with it. It runs great and it comes with all the original papers and documents. I am selling this car for the listed price including delivery anywhere in UK.I set at a "very, very low" price to guarantee a sale. The only reason is that I need cash for a family emergency. I have to tell you that I'm currently out of town with some major problems so pick up/view isn't an option. If you want to buy this vehicle email me back with your full name and address to start the official procedure trough PistonHeads. They will send you a notification with ALL the info regarding delivery, purchase protection and refund policy so please provide your details before more questions. You will find 90% of answers in that notification from Pistonheads!

 

Thank you .

 

Does to me....

Pistonheads do not have a guarantee or purchase protection etc.

Send him back:

 

"I would love to buy the car, I have just received a cheque from my uncle in Nigeria for £20,000 and i will pay you with this. However, please send me the balance of the money first and then I will deposit the cheque for you."

 

See if he goes for it :jester:

This sounds like the same person who was trying to sell an RX8 on ebay a few weeks ago.

 

I did a HPI check and it was ok, I emailed him, offering to collect the car from Devon, paying in cash, and the reply was similar to the above. It turns out he has simply copied someone elses advert, and hoped to leg it with the electronically transferred money before giving over the car.

 

I saw the same, genuine advert, a few days later and spoke to the owner. Unfortunately for me he wanted 11k, and not the other guys 4.4k.

it's not a scam, it's just the way he expresses himself in my opinion. i would have it delivered then drive it a bit, then hand over money. of course i hope it is not a lot of money for you. to be safe dont pay more than ots scrap value, unless you want the car as a work of art.
