Conveniently cut out the full registration.. although suppose you could dig it out with a few guesses.

If thats genuine and as it looks/sounds in the advert, then I think that car will be gone in 24 hours tops.


Cheers,

The vehicle details for T318 YDC are:

Date of First Registration 09 08 1999
Year of Manufacture 1999
Cylinder Capacity (cc) 1997CC
CO2 Emissions Not Available
Fuel Type Petrol
Export Marker Not Applicable
Vehicle Status Licence Due to Expire
Vehicle Colour SILVER
Vehicle Type Approval null
The information contained on this page is correct at the time of enquiry.
Vehicle Excise Duty Rate for vehicle
6 Months Rate Ł104.50
12 Months Rate Ł190.00

Ah never picked up on that... I agree that 6 days at Ł3,000 and its still around (assuming he's not just forgotten to update it as sold) speaks volumes for the advert/car IMO.

If anyone can be bothered or has a spare few minutes then I'd be interested to hear what the guy has got to say about the car and why its so much cheaper than other E6 for sale.

Grant

even if its got a dodgy engine surely it'd break for more than 3k?
looks tidy enough for a cheap track motor at least

It's 10 years old now, maybe it's got accident damage or noisy engine, can't tell until you go look at it I guess.

I had an Evo 6 in the other day where the customer had attempted to trade it in and been offered Ł1000. It really was unloved. It drove here though, with no real obvious nasty problems, but you just wouldn't have paid alot of money for it.

i think "no offense" its ford boys thinking that there cars are worth loads in the current market when all the other car marques around are dropping fast.

and then shocked at prices when they looked at piston heads.

obvioulsy jap cars are notourious for plummiting fast.

early evo or rst
saph or amg merc/ or evo 7-8
escort or csl

Well as always with these 'cheap' cars on PH/ebay/AT, it will be one of these:

1.) A scam of some sort
2.) An absolute dog
3.) Have a very dim owner
4.) Needs the money asap

My money is on number 1 though.

Having said that, ive been looking every hour or so for evo's and scoobies coming up on ebay, and a nice one owner from new evo 6 came up at Ł5k! I phoned him after the advert had only been on for 20 minutes and someone was on their way round to collect it! If it wasn't 200 miles away, id have raced him to get there with the cash!

Hello ,
Thank you for your interest in purchasing my car.
The vehicle is in good condition, has no technical damage at all, no scratches or dents,
no hidden defects, no smoking.
It's fun and robust to drive. Technical inspection and emissions testing is passed and
stamped as well. It has title of ownership, cleared of any obligations or fees and comes
with all the documents you need to register it. You will not have to pay additional taxes
for this.
Please feel free to email me with any questions you may have.
Thank you and have a nice day!

i smell a proper scammer!!!! this reply came literally minutes after sending the question!


Hello ,
I have worked in UK for the last 1 years and I've purchased the car there. My company
wanted me back home, so currently I'm in Rome, Italy. I've bring the car home with me. I
decided that is better to sell it because I don `t use it anymore (the wheel is on right
side and is very difficult for me to drive it in Italy) and it `s a pitty to keep such a
car and not to use it.
I realize that is a cheap price for such a car but my special situation makes me do things
that I wouldn't do in normal Circumstances.
You will not have to pay additional taxes for this.
