bomber1 Posted May 11, 2008 Report Posted May 11, 2008 have got a link or number for it? it sounds dogey if its a uk car thats aparantly now out of the country
bomber1 Posted May 11, 2008 Report Posted May 11, 2008 just found it heres the link http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FORD-ESCORT-MK2-R ... dZViewItem think its a scam but see if a mod could move it osf chat for more people to say what they think
Admin Vista Posted May 11, 2008 Admin Report Posted May 11, 2008 Any thoughts? One in particular: - Don't hand over any money until you're stood in front of the car and the owner can prove title to it. Like Bomber I'm suspicious of any car that is conveniently "out of the country" but can be secured by a deposit.
falster Posted May 11, 2008 Author Report Posted May 11, 2008 Guys, Is there anything i can get this fella to do to prove its not a scam? Cheers Dave

mk2griff Posted May 12, 2008 Report Posted May 12, 2008 Iwould leave that one alone.there is plenty out there.iv just bought one and owner was very helpful,yes he was selling the car but like has been said if he has,nt or cant show you proof of ownership it set the alarm bells ringing.if you cant buy with 100% confidance dont buy.
