is it just me.............

[fieldy1972]

or does something not look quite right with this "barn find". looks too clean. i.e No dust or general crap on it. anyone can lob a bit of straw about. to be honest it looks all a bit moody to me. but i could be wrong. i have been known to be.

its stolen .trouble is more threads like this popping up all over the net and the ebay sale will disapear ....

[mk_one_estate]

yeah looks well moody, why would the engine bay be full of straw ?

[Fiesta Steve]

Someone local needs to bid and win and go around there with the police.

 

Its possible that no one is looking for a missing car as they could have done an insurance job for themselves or for someone else, unfortunatly it goes on.

[Skimmer]

For the pathetic amount of straw on there you would have blown or swept it off to make it look like a better deal though the window is open it doesnt appear that any straw has got in ??? i bet theres no view before you bid

[maddog 1]

definately another dodghy scam barn finds dont look like that and if you found it you would clean it up and take proper pictures of it...

there was another one on there last week. white mk1 escort on a "G" reg with zetec four linked and all the right bits and a cracking looking car probably worth around 10000 up for 4750 buy it now as a classified ad. too good to be true but contacted them via email and reply said they havent got a phone and in dundee so if you want it buy through e bay and pay for it and they will deliver at there expense...... do they really think people are all born on the moon anyway just went for the wind up and item was removed within a few hours...;.

[banarama]

it looks like its been there over night,the straw in the engine bay has been scattered over it by hand ,just looking at it.its not a genuine find i dont think,why are both number plates missing.very strange

[fieldy1972]

the thing is that i alwasys thourght that these people are new members on ebay with none or very little feedback. this fella has been a member for while with over 120 feedback. also the escort has loads of bids..............unless there all his, his mates , his pet budgie and the next door neighbours tabbie , wacking up the bids

[Posse]

looks like he has grabbed a load of hay and thrown it over the car

 

Has anyone asked seller a question?

Yeah I saw this earlier and couldn't believe that anyone would bid over five grand for something that was so obviously dodgy. I see its above 6 now though

I have

they wont give there number out .its not available to view yet and they want your number so they can ring you when its ready to view .hay looks like its been placed on it,the car looks mint etc etc .beware this is a scam at least .its got to be stolen

[frankthefencer]

Barn find?? Do I look stupid??? Dodgy as a dodgy hot dog. Someone is gonna get stung!!

[rallyesport04]

dodgy way to clean an shiney an the rims are highly polished for a genuine barn find also why is the window open an the glass dont have a speck of dust on it straw is very very dusty a month in there it would be filthy

[ericuydghia]

Tempted to bid and win a dodgy account of my own!!! someone's gotta get the better of them!! just play them at there own game!!

[SebringRS]

IT HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT NUMEROUS THREADS ARE CIRCULATING THE INTERNET STATING THIS CAR MAY HAVE BEEN STOLEN, I HAVE CONTACTED DERBYSHIRE POLICE REGARDING ABUSIVE MESSAGES AND THREADS THAT I HAVE WHITNESED, DERBYSHIRE POLICE ARE COMING TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE CAR TOMORROW, I HAVE BEEN ADVISED BY THE POLICE TO KEEP THIS LISTING LIVE.

 

Thats what he added this afternoon, maybe he's now digging a big hole for himself

[fieldy1972]

the auction has been ended early.

[SteveL]

Dodgy ,If its a real RS it could be gone forever

[deltamal]

Proper barn finds are not shiny!

[mk2 mike]

I reported it to eBay as suspected stolen and it was ended a few hours later. iChat be a coincidence? Deff dodgey as though. barn find me arse!

[jas]

i wish my wheels stayed like that when i dont use my car and theres no dust on it at all. so fake

[escortmad79]

Barn find & the tyres were still inflated?

[john_3.0s]
