Seems strange that, the guy has a 100% feedback record so you wouldnt "expect" him to be dodgy, (unless he has plans on leaving the country and never using ebay again )

Yet, he can post the car for £3

Totally agree with the Rudester tho, ask to meet in person and pay. gwann ya fooker

Hmmmm......

It is a Scam i emailed i guy who is also selling a Cooper S at £2900

heres what he said

There are many offers on ebay and I appreciate your intention to buy my car. There was an error in the listing regarding the item location. Although I'm registered in the UK, I recently moved in Lecce, Italy (where my family is from) and the car is being shipped from here.

The price for 2003 Mini Cooper S is £2,900. This price includes shipping to your location and insurance for the trip. The shipping is done by truck and it takes about a week to get there, depending on departure days of the truck.

The car is in a perfect cosmetic and engine conditions, and meticulously maintained. No damage, no scratches or dents, no hidden defects, the engine doesn't smoke, runs and sounds awesome, never been into accidents and it's as advertised. The car comes with log book, keys and all documents to register the car in UK, and also a bill of sale in your name.
I will take care of custom before I will ship it so you will not have to pay any additional taxes when the car will arrive. It's a right-hand drive and meets United Kingdom DOT and EPA guidelines so there will be no problems regarding UK Customs policy on receiving the car.

Specs: 2003 Mini Cooper S - 170 bhp, 1,600 cc Supercharged, 46,300 miles, silver exterior with a Black Union Jack Roof, 18" Alpina S-Spoke Alloys, Full Colour Satellite Navigation, 6 Speed Gearbox, manual transmission, Chilli Pack, Xenon Headlamps with Power Wash, heated leather seats, 6 CD Changer + Radio boost with upgraded speakers, etc.

Before shipping takes place you have to make a deposit for the entire amount. Please note that I will not ship until the deposit is made. You will inspect the car and if you don't want it, I will ship it back no later than 3 days from its arrival and you will get a full refund on the deposit.
We will use eBay to complete this transaction because I want to make the exchange in best conditions for both of us. If you are interested, I will have eBay to confirm you the transaction and payment details.
Look forward to hearing from you, Greg

Or alternatively tell him "You've also got family in Italy and they live pretty close to Lecce, is is okay if they come and pick the car up in person, they'll bring the cash."

See what he says to that!

My mate tried it!
He was doing buy it now auctions for 5 quid. All you got for your money was good feedback. He did word it very clearly too, aiming it at new users that were getting their bids removed on other auctions as they had a 0 rating.
Funnily enough......... no one brought any

i just got an email reply as well

Hello,
my name is Mark Allinson and first of all I want to thank you for showing
interest in the car that I have for sale.
Second thing that I want you to know is that recently I have moved in Italy
as i got a very good job here.
This is the main reason I am selling the car for so low prices.
I took the car with me here with the intention to register it here and
drive.
That was not possible because it has UK specs and are made for UK
streets,right hand drive and other features that don't allow to be
registered anywhere else except UK.
So right now i am seling:

2002 Grand Cherokee LTD 2.7 CRD Quadra drive at £5000

Manufacturer: Jeep
Model: Grand Cherokee
Number of Doors: 5
Mileage: 21000
Model Year: 2002
Year of Registration: 2002
Exterior Colour: Blue
Transmission: Automatic
Options: 4-Wheel Drive, Air Conditioning, Alarm, Alloy Wheels, AM/FM
Stereo, Cassette Player, Catalytic Converter, CD Player, Central Locking,
Climate Control, Cruise Control, Disabled Accessible, Electric Seats,
Electric Windows, Leather Seats, Navigation System, Parking Sensors,
Power-assisted Steering (PAS), Premium Sound System, Rear Spoiler, Sunroof,
Tilt Steering Wheel, Tow Bar
Fuel: Diesel

Mercedes engine and gearbox
Full jeep service history, patriot blue, black leather, fully loaded
New jeep alloys and tyres just fitted, security tinted windows, fitted dog
gaurd and boot liner


If you want more details don't hesitate to get back and i will reply with
infos and photos.
The car is in EXCELLENT condition ready to be registered in UK in your name
with all taxes and fees paied.
I have all papers and logs that you will need to make the registration.
I will provide bill of sale in your name to prove ownership.
All keys and user manuals will be delivered.
I have a connection that works for Lufthansa Airlines and I can get a great
discount on shipping and so I can send it anywhere in UK for free.
It has never been involved in any accidents and always stored in heated
garage.
Never been raced and always adult driving.
So once again few important things:
-excellent looking and running 2002 Grand Cherokee LTD for £ 5000
-shipping is free and the car will be delivered with all documents is
maximum 7 days.
-UK models with UK specs
-HPI clear and ready to be registered
-down payment accepted 2000 pounds ( this means that if you want to buy it
you just have to make a downpayment and I will ship it to you after the
deposit is validated.
To make the car-money exchange we will use eBay .
Down payment is 100% refundable,meaning that if you won't like the car you
will get your money back but I am sure it won't be the case as it is a
state of art looking and running 4x4.
Get back and let me know if you ae interested in more details.
Thanks,Mark
