Bloody **** that's cheap. I think he's just lopped £2k off the price, as I recognise the advert title.

Yep, it appears to be £2-3k under current market (advertised) rate, but Germany is a bit of a hassle! Prices seem to have slipped a bit in the last couple of months, but possibly just that there are quite a few for sale at the moment, so less demand for each car. Most seem to be early 99/00 cars though - very few later models. Some still seem to be selling quickly at stong prices, but others sticking for a while.

That 'green' is much nicer than the more common green which is more of a BRG.

You never know these days if it is or isn't...I'm sure that the original advert said he was in Germany but I could be wrong. The scams are usualy even lower on price....

Thats a scam, you can tell by all the typos, if anyone was selling a car like that, they would not make that many errors.

You can always tell from the price and the text, it will have been posted by a foreigner not very good a English. I could be wrong, but it smells fishy.

Don't bet on it Matt, plenty of people with a car like that who can't spell! The 'car is abroad, will ship it to you after payment' scam is all too common though. I wouldn't risk it, though a lovely car at a nice price. Cheap enough to strip it and sprint it!

You know what, I think it's just a desperate seller. I emailed him asking about collection (which scammers will never let you do, for obvious reasons). He says his nearest airport is Frankfurt, but the deal needs to be done in the next 10 days as he's being re-posted. His email address was US military, so it stacks up.

It's actually quite a tempting way to make a few £k, if I had a bit more time. Obviously it's a gamble at the same time, as it probably wouldn't be possible to get it inspected and it's a hassle to fly there and return empty-handed. Hmmm.

I do seem to remember the car advertised as Germany when it was at 12k. Sounds like a repost would make him pretty desperate to sell.
