I think there has been a significant number of people posing as foreigners from other parts of Western Europe trying to scam people who are selling cars recently, I suspect that most people find it easier to write off any foreigner as a scam, than actually spend time trying to work out the difference.

maybe because for the last car I never had this problems and I don't pay with western union or other, I will go to england to see the car and paid with £££ in cash 
There is a chance the advert is a scam?
If it seems to good to be true it usually is....
The other possibilty is the person you are emailing may not be recieving your emails. I.e. If because it is coming from a .fr email address it may be getting put straight into junk.
If they are a registered user on here maybe email one of the PH mods, Garlick, Riggers etc and they might be able to get word to the seller you are trying to contact them.
Hope this helps.

I would imagine some people assume it will be a hassle dealing with someone from overseas, some will think you are a scammer, some just ignore messages.
Probably best trying to call if you are interested, and if your english isn't too great track down someone who can speak more fluently to enquire on your behalf.
Out of interest what kind of cars are you looking at?

I buy a lot of car in UK, I registred them in france and sell them in france, it's my business
My english isn't very good so with the phone I have a lot of difficulties, I tried with a mail adress hotmail.co.uk
I see if it's better

I don't know why people are surprised these days - Sterling is weak, cars in the UK are much cheaper than cars in Europe - a fair bit of money to be made in taking them over there.
yes in france take the jap' cars in example! for an evo 8 the less price than I find is 19000€ and generally cars are 2x or 3x more expensive than in the UK

Isn't the steering wheel kinda on the wrong side for France??
no it's not a problem on the jap' car because the people who buy me cars is young so when you have the same car but 40% less than the french price even if the steering wheel is on the wrong side you sold the car !!but I have a jaguar XJR and this one don't interest french people even if it's 40% cheaper
