sounds like a scam. a mate of mine found an audi tt for 3700 from somewhere in europe. guy was claiming he originally was from uk and the car was originally on uk plates.....

i think the old saying "too good to be true" applies in these situations.

Will probably be removed soon .... before someone sends a PayPal payment for £3700 for a non-existant car!!

These "cars" appear quite often!

Sad thing is, bet he gets at least one, probably more, people sending him money thinking the'll buy the car for £3700 and be able to sell it on at a big profit.

Good saying about this sort of thing - cons and fraud only work due to two things - the buyers greed or their vanity.
