Been looking for a cheap second car as the Corsa is killing me! Seen a 2002 745i fully loaded on here which was obviously a con at £3,000 so I thought I'd have a laugh - see below. (E. Mail address added for the seller incase anyone else want to join in - perhaps a bidding war to see how high we can get it! LOL)

His reply to my - where can I meet you with cash to purchase the car

Hello,
I am selling this car for £3000 including delivery anywhere in the UK. The price is so low because I need cash for a family emergency. I have to tell you that I'm currently out of town with some major problems so pick up/view isn't an option. Sorry about that... Hope you will understand... If you want to buy this car email me back with your full name and address to start the official procedure trough PistonHeads. Once the requested details will be provided, PistonHeads will send you a notification with ALL the info regarding delivery, purchase protection, payment and refund policy so please provide your details before any other questions. You will find 90% of answers in that notification from PistonHeads! Will wait to hear from you.
Thank you for your interest.

My current reply to him...

No problem. In fact Id like to up my offer to £5,000 just to make sure you don't sell the car to anyone else as I am very keen. Is it possible I could send a cheque for the money to you and then have the car delivered as my current car has broken on me unfortunately and the wife and kids are feeling a little stranded without it. Additionally just to add salt to the wound the central heating has packed up so we could really do with it so we have somewhere to sit in the evenings with a heater going. If you could come back to me as soon as possible I would really appreciate it.

Kind regards

Roger.

Hello again Roger,
Very funny... Iranian Embassy... Right...
Do you want the car and do you want to do the deal as I told you?
Simple: YES or NO ?

and my reply

Yes and I am serious about the address. I work there and as part of the package I get accomodation since London is so expensive.

Lining him up for the - I'm a bomb maker actually and really want the car for something else but dont let on to the police or you will ruin our plans!
