Hmm, surely it's too stupid even for a car thief to advertise on ebay?!! Maybe not!

hmmm Newbie seller. No feedback. That car will cost you the thick end of 35 grand from a Porsche dealer. If it looks too good to be true.......

Email him...........chances are the car is for some stragneg reaon currently in spain or somewhere far way, and he will ship it to you as soon as you deposit £9000 in some sort of sqaretrade type account, its a crap scam that seems very prevalant on ebay, but hey why get a boxser for £9k, theres a few m3 convertibles for £10k, some 911s for £5k etc....the world really is your oyster on fleabay.....

Just like the 51 Reg 33,000 mile Audi TT on Autotrader the other day.

Emailed the Seller and was told she ws based in Italy setting up her new business. She would ship it to my door including taxes for the hansome sum of £6000 BARGAIN.......NOT.

The name she gave was Maureen Jones! Nice.

I called Autotrader and they were gratefull and then removed this ad.

And did she explain what "taxes" would be applicable for importing a car from Italy? er, none (bar VAT on the shipping fees...)
