whats wrong with it?

 

scam city

 

its a scam, the car was on ebay in a real auction recently

steve

 

SCAM i WOULD SAY!!!

 

Nothing I can see. Perhaps it was write off. Do an HPI on it. Or maybe the price has been mis-typed. Or somebody is winding the owner up.

 

I've just read the previous comments. I need to learn to type faster.

 

SCAM SCAM SCAM

I always think that anybody who you have to e mial rather than do it in the open on ebay is dodgy...

maybe they arent.. but

this ad stinks of shit.

hows it a scam do they ask for payment first

 

i dont think its a scam...there is no bidding and its a ebay classified ad.when you ring them,i expect they say that price is wrong and should have a 1 in front of it,and at a guess its probaly to pay less ebay fees

Thinking about it could be the same deal that somebody here in the Fatherland was pulling. You contact the guy, he spins you a tale about needing the cash fast, arranges to meet you somewhere, asks to see the cash then he & some of his mates relieve you of it & the car is nowhere to be seen.

 

Scamming cunts!

 

ah the spider catches another fly

 

dont know what you mean??? i bought a 2006 astra which was advertised on ebay like this (£2000) and the advertiser told me it was to save on ebay fees.

mark

 

I can't be arsed to contact any of these scamming cunts but I bet if you did you'd get told the car is abroad somewhere and they need to sell it. Send £x by western union and the car will be shipped to London

 

Same ad was on ebay last month, same car, same pics and everything,

 

dovboy
fookin hell davie..you are a propper ebay policeman

 

It's only a shame that ebay aren't as good I had another moan at them tonight about this cosworth and I got yet another shit reply that sounds scripted that's 3 now

No wonder ebay is full of these cunts if ebay don't do anything about them, I would given half the chance

 

WELL! every night it seems someone posts an escort cosworth for 3500-£5000 from fuckin ebay!!

notice the trend "dont bid,contact me via email" in fuckin borneo i should think.

contact them if you want but they will only get your email address ,then scam you

 

how can they scam you with just your email address???

mark

 

by doing this!!

| | | Inbox


Hello,

Thank you for your interest in my 1993 FORD ESCORT RS COSWORTH.
The BUY IT NOW price for the car is 3,500 GBP, with shipping to your home door included. The car is in excelent condition as you can see in the pics. Right now I, along with the car are located in Copenhagen, Denmark at a car show and I will ship it from here. Car is in absolutelly perfect condition both mechanically (drives great) and cosmetically. No damage, no scratches or dents, no hidden defects, and it is as advertised. I am looking for a cash buyer and also for a fast sell since the car is already at the shipping company crated and ready for shipping and they charge a daily fee for storage. The car has got to go... The deal will be closed ONLY trough eBay as all serious sellers would ask. I need some info from you, that will help me understand you are a serious buyer aswell:

your full name
your shipping address (for the record in case we have a deal)
your eBay user ID

The car will be deliverd by DAS (major shipping company) and it will arrive to your home door in about 5-7 business days. The car will be insured and if something happens you will receive the insurance from the delivery service. After the vehicle arrives, you will have 5 days for inspection (and remember this as it is very important in a car deal). If the Ford is different than the way I've described it, you will be fully refunded and the car will be shipped back on my expence. Anyway, I don't think it will be necesary, you'll love this car from the first moment you'll see it and step foot in it. I am waiting to hear back from you with the details if you decide to move forward with the transaction.


Cheers
Katherine Scholle

 

i thought i would waste his time and see what he knew about his car after i got the email the same as above offering it to me for £5000 plus £500 shipping,i sent him a email asking.....

'hi
thanks for the reply regarding the escort cosworth..i would like to purchase this car as soon as possible and need a little more information first...can you tell me if it is small or large turbo and what colour are the injectors..also can you tell me if this is the best model which is switchable from 2wd to 4wd??

regards mark'

he replied...

'Hello again Mark,

Thank you for your fast reply.

The engine size is 2000 CC and the BHP 226. This vehicle only has 5470 genuine miles on the clock. I bought the car in April 2001 and when i bought the car it had 170 miles on her. so in the 6 years i have owned the car thats all the miles the car has gathered. this car has only seen fair weather out of the heated garage. I changed the alloys to 18" RSS and i have also changed the water pipes for blue silicone. I have also fitted a cat 1 toad alarm and immob for insurance puposes. I have kept every receipt and all the service and mot history for the car. This car is absolutely immaculate and has to be seen to be believed.'

i then asked...
