She says the car's done 55k and the last service was at 12k!?!?

Guess this proves the 'one lady owner' theory...

Mmm, not sure but anything that starts with 'only e-mail at blah blah blah' strikes me as a scam immediately....

Remarkably similar to the Golf R32 diesel posted up last night. Can they not trace the ip address and ban them from classifieds or something?

I emailed them...here's the response...

Hi,

The car is still available for sale,it is in perfect condition in and out,100% HPI clear with a certificate to confirm,full service history.
I just got married and moved with my Italian husband in Milan,Italy.I took the car with me so the car is currently here.
I can`t use it in Italy because it has the wheel on the right side and it would also cost me too much to register it here.
It is still registered in the UK and since I have absolutely no use for it I am looking for a fast sale( this is why the low asking price)
I can ship the car from here directly to your home address and I am also willing to cover all delivery expenses.
I look forward to your reply
Regards
Paula

Did they attach a picture of that black guy on the phone? Talk about obvious.

Hi, my name is Otto Whackew, Is the Skoda still available?

I take it the car has been serviced at the specified intervals? When is the next due 97k?

How many years MOT are remaining

Can I arrange a viewing as I am also in Warwickshire, I would also like to bring along a mechanic - Phil McCracken, hope this is ok? he is good!

One final thing, how many tyres has it got?

I have cash ready and waiting

Regards
Mr. Whackew
