Always buyer beware, I bought an excellent car, lots of history etc, spent £8000 on it in 18months! So, big bills are posible, whatever you buy.

There is no chance is that going to be a genuine sale!!, there are loads of scams at the moment even here on piston heads in the classifieds!, and its the same thing every time, the car ends up being abroad somewhere with the owner and you have to send 50% up front to a third party and he will then ship the car to england for you to view!! (yeah right) and if your happy after yo have seen said car you pay the balance! bottom line unless you are very very lucky there is always something behind a car being so cheap!

Why haven't you withdrawn your bid if it's a scam?

Just wondering.
