Found an advert on Pistonheads.com for an 05 plate base model in blue at six thousand pounds. Thought it was a bit low so emailed the seller to find out more. The response I got was this -

Hi, As you've seen in the ad the price is £6.000, the car has full history service, excellent condition, accident free, has no damage, no scratches. It is an UK car (not an import), under UK number plates and it has full UK. I bought it from NAAFI at a very good price which I too reduced substantially for a quick sale. The car is located in Madrid, Spain and so am I, but this shouldn't be a problem as I can have the car delivered back to the UK. Email me back if you need more details.

A few things spring to mind -
- surely you would want to see the car before paying for delivery to UK?
- The 350GT was never a UK car and IS an import!!
- The photos on the advert are definitely not shot in Spain - more like Burnley!

So is it a scam or not??

 

Ha Ha,

this is a scam and he used it on the skyline owners forum. I tried to find the thread but it was a long time ago, He is basically after you sending him a deposit then thats the last you see of him. He said he owned a garage in spain last time but when the potential uk buyer checked the garage had never heard of him.

OK i found the thread
BTW see how bad ebay handled the situation
