Excuse my naivety but this is a scam, right?

Sorry if it has been pointed out before, also if it is legit (which I don't think it is) sorry to the seller etc.

It's a steal if it's for real... it's a good spec, clearly been cared for, got some tasty bits on it (good stereo, tweeter pods, hurricane, toelinks etc) so you'd expect it to be going for average-S1 Money... somewhere around 6500

Looks like a scam. If they dont put a phone number, just an email, then its normally a scam. If you email them, i bet you find the car is in a different country and needs to be shipped!

I'll eat my hat (yes, the one in the car that I never quite gwet round to washing) if that's genuine.

I also think it would be worth more than 6.5K, more like 7.5 as we approach spring.

I was guessing... I'm a little too far south to be any kind of authority on UK market prices on cars like that. Over here, that car would probably go for the equivalent of 15k UKP!

Hi, and thank you for the email.Here are a few informations you may want
to know about the car.100% proper working conditions, like new, everything
is working on it and more importantly has had all safety recalls done.HPI
cleared / MOT until OCTOBER 08 / TAX until SEPT. 08 / 3 keys / log book /
full service history / DOT / EPA / Emisions and Technical Test are past.I
sold my flat from England 2 months ago because i have a new job in Italy
and I have a car from work, so there is no room for mine. I cannot come in
England to sell the car, because I am very busy with my work and for a
possible transaction between us, i would prefer to use an authorized
shipping company.Please let me know if you are interested to know more
about the transaction. Thank you!
