I'd be very wary to say the least, well under priced for the mileage and model.

The fact you have to make direct contact via a hotmail account, I bet she's moving or is abroad etc etc.

Mind you if it is a genuine sale and the car is HPI clear then it's a bargain.

Nonsense like this -:

" !!! Please e-mail me directly at SusanBarney34@hotmail.com because if you will e-mail me through PH your messages will go to my spam folder and they will be automatically deleted.Thanks !!! "

-: should always tip you off that its a scam.

Why would an E-mail program send Pistonheads E-mails to the junk folder, and even more so, why would it automatically delete junk E-mails? Junk E-mails sit there until you can check they really are junk.

Nonsense, ignore the advert.

Another scammer. Can people not just get a job and live a decent honest life, rather than trying to STEAL other peoples hard earned..

They are getting wiser though ... it's just 'slightly' cheaper than it should be, so becomes more believable.

Remember Pete, she has just married an italian/spanish/german and has moved to said country, the car will be transported to xx when the untracable cash has been paid so you get ripped off with a picture of someone elses car
Those nigerians really need a good slapping!

It's a classic scam advert and almost looks like a copy and paste job It's getting common to use women's names now and claim she got married and moved abroad instead of using blokes names
