bit scammier than a scammy thing

[Neil.D]

I would think he has missed a '1' off the start of the asking price.

Looks like it has had water damage under bonnet. Why the hell would you publish that photograph looking the way it does.
Some people just advertise that they dont care about their cars and do themselves no favours.

Either a scam or a '1' missing.

I've emailed him asking for more info, but i expect its a scam

Easy wy to spot most of the scams - no phone number.

Have a peek at the Focus, Astra or Golf GTI classifieds, they're infested with scammers.

Disagree. I never put a phone number in my ads as it puts off many tyre kickers.

Thats why I said most. Couple silly price with lack of phone number and bingo - scam time.

Its a scam, i got this back from the 'seller'

Hello and thank you for your interest,
I had to pause the listing on Pistonheads 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. Therefore, if you are willing to pay my asking price 3800 GBP, I'm ready to start this transaction with you.
First of all you should know that the car has a clear HPI, it's in excellent condition, like new, mechanically and aesthetically intact, no damages, no hidden defects. This bmw has only 55k original miles. It is in pristine condition. In addition this bmw has been adult owned, driven and always garage kept. It's a UK machine with UK specs and right handed drive. Overall interior is pristine throughout, no rips, tears, burns, stains or worn spots anywhere. It has never been smoked in.
I'm located in Czech Republic for the moment. I spend a lot of the time in UK with business but I have my family here in Czech Republic. I took the car with me here a few weeks ago. I'm willing to ship it from here through Air Cargo and cover the shipping and insurance fees to your location in UK. The total price is 3800 GBP shipping included. I thought selling my bmw through Pistonheads would be a good idea, giving the fact that I need some fast cash to start building a new house here.
If you're further interested I can also send you some extra pictures of the car.
Please let me know your position as soon as possible,
Peter

Good to see it was adult owned though at least that was some reassurance.
