Scam I would imagine ...... 5 years Warranty and Servicing too??

Yeah, right ....... if you want to confirm it as a scam just e-mail the seller Jack O'Neal and ask which country the car is in and needs to be shipped from and would he accept a Western Union Transfer

The person producing the advert does not own the car.
If you email him he will come out with some story about being out of the country and saying you can give a £500 deposit to secure the car, you will then never hear from the person again and lose £500.

The person who owns the car probably knows nothing about it

As already said it's a scam Email "Jack" and he'll tell you he took the car abroad for work but can't get on with right hand drive and needs a new car/van etc.

The 2006 Subaru Impreza Wrx PETROL MANUAL (5,000 GBP) is in great shape,no engine problems,damages or hidden defects. It has 10,000 miles. I have already signed a contract with the ebay's purchase protection program since pistonheads.com does not offer any sort of inssurance and this is a large transaction in wich i do not want to risk anything. I'm also not in the UK at the moment and that is also one of the reasons why i have trusted the protection program with this sale. The car already is at the shipper's office ready to part, note that the purchase protection program will handle both shipping and payment with this sale. In order to take full advantage of their purchase protection program you will have to reply back with your ebay user id, full name and full shipping address (If you don't have an ebay user id yet go to eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices and sign up for one, it will take less than 2 minutes) .

Regards,
Jack



So is it a scam?
