for this price, it's cheaper than putting a blower in the Chimaera - any one know of this car?

Its a Speed 6, the paint is knackered and the wheels need replacing. Suddenly it will cost you a lot more....
But the cheapest I have seen yet.

The fuzzy photo's and lack of phone number scream scam to me to be honest, Wouldn't touch it with a barge pole, I'm no expert on Cerbs (not yet anyway, I'm sure that will change when the time comes to buy) but £4000 is too cheap to be true. Just my £0.02.

[quote]Hello mate,

Thank you for being interested in purchasing my vehicle.The car is in perfect working condition, the mileage is low and accurate ,there are no scratches and the car was never involved in an accident. Always kept in a warm garage,also it has no outstanding finance as I purchased it outright.Technical inspection and emissions testing is passed and stamped as well. It has title of ownership,cleared of any obligations or fees and comes with all the documents you need to register it.I have worked in England for the last 2 years and I've purchased the car there. My company wanted me back home,so currently I'm in Italy. I've bring the car home with me. I decided that is better to sell it because I don`t use it anymore (the wheel is on right side and is very difficult for me to drive it here) and it`s a pitty to keep such a car and not to use it.I realize that is a cheap price for such a car but my special situation makes me do things that I wouldn't do in normal circumstances.The car has MOT, Road tax until next year. Also has full service history.
The price I am looking for my car is £4000 including the shipping costs,insurance and handling (delivery to EUROPE). You will not have to pay additional taxes for this.
If you are still interested,please come back and I'll response all the questions may you have and I'll give you all the details what you need.
Cheers

This is such a common style scam.

I was emailed by someone who advertsied a Tuscan on eBay and was supposidly in Germany and asked me to make an offer. He then sent me an email, supposidly from eBay to pay for it.
