Ok, so I saw an ad on PH for a lovely Lotus Esprit which has just been 'removed' by PH
In the meantime I have been in touch via email with the owner (?) who said the sale would be via
'Express-Horizon' (Polish) through Dublin. Anyone dealt with them? Initially I thought it was a scam but now I'm
not so sure...is it too good to be true? Where's the catch? Thanks

Suspiciously cheap car gets pulled from the site, then the seller asks you to send money to eastern europe for a car they will ship via Dublin.

All sounds fine to me. If you don't go for it I will, right after that Nigerian prince sends my $13,273,278.17 via western union.

Only ever pay for a car when you have viewed it, never send money for anything straight to a bank account Jaime.

Always best to air on the side of caution. Maybe it is legit, maybe it isn't. Are you really willing to gamble large amounts of money on it though? If it has the telltale signs of being a scam then best to stay well clear

Thing is, it would still be cheaper and less stressful than actually getting the Lotus !

Joking by the way, at least in part.
