if it is genuine they left a 1 off the asking price as the queue would be round the block for £3k

I would say that is genuine but with a digit missing in the price. Seem a lot of detail listed to be a scam.

Look at what i just received!!


Hi Steven,

This FORD ESCORT MK2 2.0 COSWORTH ~ FULLY REBUILT FROM BARE SHELL ~ ROAD LEGAL & FAST is in excellent condition with no issues. I'm asking £2890 for a fast sale. The car is currently located in Aberdeen (delivery can be arranged anywhere in uk) because I just finished the divorce with my wife and I have moved here. I will sell the car only using Google Checkout's services, this way you'll get 3 days to inspect the vehicle before paying me and I'll be sure that I have a genuine buyer that isn't going to mess me around. Where are you located? Please email me as soon as you see this message because I have few other people interested in this car.

Regards,
James
PS What's your email address?

Easy to clarify, just tell him your brother lives in Aberdeen and he wants to come and view it, ask for his address, I bet you don't get a reply. Not all cheap ads are scams but you can usually spot them a mile off, I missed out on a 4x4 cossie a month ago that was sold for 600 quid complete, had been in a garage for years.
