Look at the bottom of both adverts where the Adrian Flux Insurance Quote form is...The Mazda RX8 is down as a Volkswagen Polo E and the Subaru is down as a Quad Bike...Usually the first thing I look at when on PistonHeads is that insurance bit to see what they've got it registered as...Definately something strange as the original advert for the Subaru states they owned the car for the past 4 years yet this dodgy looking advert states it's their "Pride and Joy for the last 5 years"...Stay well clear!

A fool & his money deserves to be parted ...

What is the scam though? Surely no one will buy it without seeing it

Taken from another thread about this:
This is the standard sort of reply you get with these scams. So they ask you to basically send them money through Western Union transfer (untracable btw) and they send you the car. People must fall for this as there are adverts like it all the time. If they didn't work they wouldn't do it.
i seen a similar ad last weekend on PH for an 02 sti going for £3500, phoned the number and it didn't work so email and got this replyHi,
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 Italian husband in Milan,Italy.I took the car with me so the car is currently here.
I can`t use it in Italy 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
Jessica
