Check out the conditions, pre approved bidders only, so they want your details. I expect this guys account has been hijacked.

100 miles in title and then 2100 miles in the advert, if you were selling an escos with 100 miles on you wouldnt get the milage wrong!

Blatantly a scam, they want you to email them away form ebay with your details and they are selling it for 6400 quid.

Definately a scam

What a twat. The ask seller a question sends a message to your inbox on My Ebay regardless of email address. Anyone taken in by that is thick.

Account has been hi-jacked...

The seller also forgot to edit the postage details, and its just brought up the details from the last item sold by that account.

Whoever it is just wants a quick way of getting Ł6400, any money that the seller will request the money be sent by a dodgy method...

Dear sir,
First of all, thank you for your interest regarding my Ford.
Before we will go any further, I will like to tell you that I am located in Amsterdam (Netherlands),so is the car.
The price I expect to get for the car is Ł6400, The car will be shipped from Amsterdam and i will cover the shipping costs and insurance.
You will not have to pay additional taxes,just only the price for it.The car will be shipped with auto-marlink and you will receive it within 7 days tops.Auto-marlink will delivery the car at your door.
The car is as described on eBay, in imaculate condition,there are no
scratches or dings or any other sort of damages on the car, and it was also recently inspected.
If you have any other questions about the car, feel free to ask and I will be glad to answer.
Because we both want a smooth transaction without problems, I believe the best way to close this deal is via ebay. They will guarantee that I will receive the money and you will receive the car. If you are interested and agree with the terms so far, please let me know and I will make arrangements with ebay and they will contact you with all the details.
Regards !



ive just told him i will fly easyjet and collect it
