There is something suspicious about it, but for the price it's worth a closer inspection!

146,000 time for a new engine.

The guy has a Sapphire Cossie too in the background of the photo, up on stands. It's not like he's a clueless newbie.

here is one of the emails i got.

Hi Jim,

First the car is in Spain, that's why I have applied to a third party shipping service.
Since I have a written contract with the shipping company they will handle this sale for me and they will act as a third party between us. You must contact the shipping company where my car is, in order to start the transaction. They will explain the entire procedure regarding payment and shipping. You will send the money to them, not to me. Once the payment is done you can come to pick it up or they will ship it to you within 7-10 days. If you agree with these terms let me know and I will be more than glad to start this transaction with you.
http://www.carry-move.com/ They do have a live help operator there, just click on the Live Chat Service and he will help you with the info you need. Just ask about my car which is there, in their warehouse, already inspected, with all its papers and ready to be shipped.

Regards,
Nicholas

then after his fuck off pill i got this mail.


R U MAKING FUN OF ME?????????????????
I appreciate the time and hope we can make a deal. I see that you don't trust me.
I truly apologize being straight forward but I believe in it, for your sake and mine.
Over the past few years, I have sold many thing via eBay, autotrader.co.uk, pistonheads.com.
Over the course of these transactions, I have had many scams
used on me. I have been given forged checks and fake cashiers checks. I
started accepting Paypal, only to have many confirmed payments reversed
after the item was shipped. When I deposit a check funds are released,
but forged checks can take weeks to be found and then my account will
have money deducted. These scams have cost me thousands of pounds.
I sold a car and I received a counterfeit check.

Please do not take this as me distrusting you personally, please
understand that I am simply trying to protect my interests as you are while completing a mutually satisfying transaction.
You will send the money to a third party shipping company, not to me.
After you will receive the car they will forward the funds to me. This is the most secure and traceable payment method.
Almost 80% of the internet transactions are made through third parties escrow services.
However, if it's not what it appears to be, I suggest you to go elsewhere.
If you decide not to go through with it there is no problem. I got quite a
few offers left. Get back to me and let me know what you decide. Thank you
for your time and interest.
Whatever you decide I wish you good luck.
