Hi,

The car is still available for sale,it is in extremely good condition,100% HPI Clear,full service history.Currently I am on a business trip to Australia and will have to stay here for about 4 months (this is why I am selling the car )
I left the car in PistonHeads custody and they will handle the sale for me.The V5 log book is already signed on my behalf,the car will come with 2 keys,all service records and previous MOT's. PistonHeads will deliver the car directly to your home address and I will pay all delivery expenses.

I am waiting your reply if still interested.

Regards

I've hit the report to admin button on the ad to flag this up

The ad should be removed now; so should not be accessible for anyone browsing the classifieds.

Note that you'll still see the ad, as it's linked above.

And just to make clear for anyone who may not be aware - PistonHeads hosts the classifieds and that's as far as their responsibility goes.

Of course there's dodgy folk out there, trying to fleece us at any opportunity - but if there's a £10k car up for sale only £2k; then you know there's something dodgy.

The PH fraud warnings goes some way to help highlight those.

And this latest one is like AutoTrader holding the cars somewhere centrally; and holding/selling them on behalf of sellers. The Haymarket car would be pretty stuffed with about 95k+ cars for sale

The same applies to PH holding money, or being a guarantor; or anything else .... they DON'T
