Default check this...

couldn't resist but to send some questions to the seller asking why it doesn't look like its got a SR and autobox....

reply was:

Hi there,

The car is in perfect condition and is located in Budapest, Hungary, where I've moved, not to long ago.

The price of the car is GBP 4650. This is a UK car with UK specs and the car is still registered in UK.
If you are still interested to buy it, I can manage the shipping of the car.
The car is hot... you will love it. Perfect condition, inside and outside.


To make the deal in a secure way, we can use a third party. I have a purchase protection account for USD $20,000 at eBay Square Trade. What this mean and how this work:
You make the payment, give the payment details to Square Trade, after ferification they notify me to start the shipping, you receive and inspect the car, notify Square Trade that you will keep the car, Square Trade give me the payment details and I take the money... safe way, what do you say? In case you don't receive the car, or is not like I've described to you... Square Trade will refund you the money, 100%.


If you are agree, reply with your full name, shipping address and your eBay user ID. I need your details to contact Square Trade to start the deal. After that they will provide you with all the info that you need to know regarding the deal.


If you have questions, please reply

Ebay is full of these b*ll**** ads, promising cars for a fraction of their market value....The cars are always mysteriously somewhere in Europe, and will be shipped upon payment of monies via western union and the like......the ads are usually very easy to spot as blags, due to the porr descriptions of the car, the almost autmoated responses from the 'seller' and the fact that it is being sold for a pittance!

As for the muppet (Just me carl)who has posted above...deary me..what a poor effort!
