"First of all I want to thank you for your interest for my car. You're lucky ....I had to pause the listing on PH because I've almost reached an agreement with a local potential buyer. Unfortunately, it looks like there are some problems and he doesn't have all the money to pay, for the moment
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 Italy and will have to stay here for about 6 months (this is why I am selling the car for a low price and I am looking for a fast sale to finance the Italian project )
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
If you are interested in purchasing the car just contact the PistonHeads department that handles the sale directly at: pistonheads-sales@instruction.com and they will assist you with any questions you might have regarding the transaction
PS When contacting the PH department please specify my name ( Katherine Ashton ) and the car make and model"

It's the new service that PH brought in when they launched the new classifieds - perfectly legit.

Indeed it is a scam. The latest attempt by our friends across all classified sites.

Don't get involved at all, but do help us to keep a clear classifieds by reporting the ad you replied too (if still live) and we'll remove it. In addition we'll block any other ads, will attempt to close any dodgy web pages they use and we'll also warn others who have responded to the ad.

Sorry about this and thanks in advance for your help
