bit dodgy me thinks
Hi,
Subaru : SUBARU IMPREZA WRX-STI TYPE UK
sent them an email saying ide have it depending on seeing it first, this is what i got back....
hello,
The car is still available for sale,it is in perfect condition in and out,100% HPI clear with a certificate to confirm,full service history.
I just got married and moved with my Spanish husband in Madrid,Spain.I took the car with me so the car is currently here.
I can`t use it in Spain because it has the wheel on the right side and it would also cost me too much to register it here.
It is still registered in the UK and since I have absolutely no use for it I am looking for a fast sale( this is why the low asking price)
I can ship the car from here directly to your home address and I am also willing to cover all delivery expenses.
I look forward to your reply
Regards
Kate

This was posted last night with no phone number. I emailed asking if the price was correct, any HPi or body damage. Next thing, the advert disappeared and reappeared this morning saying HPi clear and no damage.
Have you tried phoning the number?

dont touch it, is a scam. was a show on bbc tv last week about car scams and someone got done by same story. they put the money into an holding account untill car was sent to this country. but as soon as money was put into account is was then taken out and they could'nt get hold of the seller.

i,d avoid at all costs i too very nearly got scammed by a similar ad on ebay, couple of days after the person who bought it put an warning advert on the site naming and shaming the seller as a con artist.

Total scam - this car was advertised 2009 just before Christmas in exactly the same way. It caught my eye as I was looking for an STi at the time. Complete waste of time!
