Absolutely and judging by their inability to get a name the right way round, sounds like the lads from Lagos.

You know I can't even be bothered winding them up anymore, gets tiring after a while.

To be honest if anyone is too thick and greedy to fall for this then I have no sympathy

Just had reply and states wife bought the car in uk and job has finished so it seems the car is back in Germany, and as it is difficult to drive a right hand car there then they are selling it for £2700

I have asked the price for bringing to the uk. If it seems too good to be true then it usually is

hornel Z3M, tell them that a Dutch or German friend of yours is willing to collect the car and drive it to the UK.

Did it look like this.....

"Hello,

Thank you for your e-mail, as you can see from the pictures, the car is in perfect condition with no accidents or damage.
My wife worked for a short period in UK and bought this car from there.
Now her work is finished and we are currently in Germany. She brought the car home.
We decided that it is better to sell it, because we no longer use it (it is a right hand drive and is very difficult for me to drive in Germany). My price is 2700 GBP.
I realize this is a cheap price for such a car, but my special situation makes me do things I would not do in normal circumstances.
So if you are interested please reply

Thanks

Bern "

What a nice guy , he will transport it to me for the price , I'll send him the money tomorrow and wait for it to arrive

NOT !!!

cant belive people still fall for this.....

Reported to pistonheads .

exact message. i think i will send a cheque and take a chance.

boblez · Post by **boblez** » Fri 04 Feb, 2011 19:54

Yup, i got the same message too!!

Z3cade · Post by **Z3cade** » Fri 04 Feb, 2011 20:04

wonder if the real seller knows about this?? Im guessing no.....

hornel Z3M · Post by **hornel Z3M** » Sat 05 Feb, 2011 08:59

Just had a long e-mail saying the car can be sent by courier in 4 days, i have 5 days to inspect it and if i like it the money from the courier, which i have to pay in advance will be sent to the owner in Germany. If i dont like it i will get a full refund. Seems ok then.

boblez · Post by **boblez** » Sat 05 Feb, 2011 09:37

Exactly what i got from him too, so i have reported it to Pistonheads. Although i did offer to see the car as its in Berlin and im going there next week, he didnt like that idea!!

Gotcha!

Jonttt · Post by **Jonttt** » Sat 05 Feb, 2011 12:06
