I thought that they had sorted this problem out

 

Have you noticed they allways advertise them for 4k as well?

(off topic but the car looks a good 'un!)

 

Whats the scam with it for those of us who dont know?

 

if you cant see that then you is a dumbass

 

at that price, i'll have 6 please

 

FFS £4k for that? Yeh fair play, but who is dumb enough to actually stump up?

 

whats wrong with it i mean i know its cheap for the spec etc

 

it's a scam:

scam
noun1. a fraudulent business scheme
verb1. deprive of by deceit; "He swindled me out of my inheritance"; "She defrauded the customers who trusted her"; "the cashier gypped me when he gave me too little change"


or

noun, verb, scammed, scam⋅ming.
–noun 1.a confidence game or other fraudulent scheme, esp. for making a quick profit; swindle.–verb (used with object) 2.to cheat or defraud with a scam.

 

but to be fair, who would pay for a car without seeing it???

 

I'd buy that for 4grand just not off him lol.

 

dont try to humiliate me

i cant see anything wrong with it he has listed the spec and given a price not said anything about buisness etc

 

How do they go about swindling you dojj? We know what a scam is....
If he was advertising it here for instance, like when I bought my saff, I went to see, drive, check the car before I parted with my money. Just like I would if i were to buy that car. No car/not as advertised=no money. simple

 

Me lol ive paid 5 grand before for car with out seeing it in the flesh.

Was a 57 reg vectra last year had been paint strippered not recorded bought it off a slavage company! Only seen it when it was delivered.

 

Me! I paid £35k for my old R34GTR without ever seeing it

It looked pweety on the internet though!

 

That's what I was wondering. Presumably they get you to exchange some cash before you see the car. But if you do that.. well then you've got it coming to you.

 

bought an xr2 of ebay without seeing it
but i put my trust in the seller
and it payed off

 

This is the reply from the seller, when I enquired about the bargain Fiesta !!!!!!




First i will like you to know that the car is in excellent shape, it's never had any accidents, no scratches, no dents, it's got the original paintwork, no pets, non-smokers, the engine has never been repaired. The car runs like new and never had problems with it. At this moment I am out of the country, i'm with my wife in our honeymoon in Barcelona (The car is here with me in Spain)
The car still got UK papers I didn't registered yet here in Spain so you can import it in your country with no problems.
If you don`t have the possibility to pick up it then I will be glad to arrange a shipping and I will support all shipping cost.
I can arrange the delivery where you want and you will have 5 days to inspect it before I will receive the payment and in this way both of us will have the assurance that we need.
Feel free to email me if you have any questions at all.

The story goes they sell it that cheap that you jump at the chance they e mail you saying that they are on buisness but the car is with a company & they are dealing with the money & release of the car.They ask you for a deposit through western union or such likes & say the car will be delivered to your adress.these ads are on ebay all the time a guy paid nearly 3k for a mk2 escort in this way & got bumped they just steal old adverts.Usually send you a formal e,mail but its obviously a fake

 

lol beat me to it

 

E , mail him back & ask how you would pay for the car?

 

I've e-mailed him !
Awaiting reply !

 

not trying to humiliate anyone, you will see that it's offered at a ridiculously low price, the email reply you will probably get is that it's somewhere in mainland europe and you'll send the money and he'll ship it back to you or words to that effect

i had the same thing when i looked at buying an st220 when they were worth around £9k a few years ago and this fella was flogging one for a buy it now of £4k

i was told the same thing so i strung him along for a while and then just stopped replying to his emails

 

Reg No does not come up on DVLA website.

 

The car and the plate are genuine. I know the 'real' owner is selling the car, so he may have put the plate on retention.

 

Ryan's now sold the car,and I think plate is on retention.

 

I followed one of these scams through far enough to get the tossers bank acc details and contacted the car dealer in London, who's website had been scammed.. I called the Met Police with all the details and they were not interested at all as no crime had been committed...I even had the address of the bank and all the gen...The guy had an African name... and he wanted 3 1/2k deposit upfront before I saw it and claimed it was a finance snatchback but as soon as I asked for Vin number Reg etc... he got all shitty.........As some of you know I live in Belgium... Have a look at some of these.... If anyone gets sucked in here...... http://eng.autoscout24.com/home/inde...uroto=9000&zip=

 

The guy has not e-mailed me back !

The advert has now been removed.

 

You should have emailed him back and said, that's great im currently at my time share in spain and not going home till the following week.. can I look at it tonight see what he says

 

Thats really funny you said that !

As I have freinds living in Spain, I wanted to follow this up for a laugh.

 

Oh my god never new about all this going on withmy boys old Fiesta just been told !!!!

Hi Dan how are you well i hope bless ya ! as you know my Ryans car and plate were genuine and my Ryan sold Fiesta to a lad in Wales and its back on original plates AV53 GPO and Ryans plate as from the feature is on retention he sold fiesta fro £9.500 but he contacted Ryan recently saying he has it up for sale not sure why though .
