If an offer's too good to be true, etc. Seller doesn't have any feedback, other than from an unregistered user :?

bugger didn't think they were worth what that ones selling for.

As with any ebay ad if its too good to be true it usually is. Its not unheard of for punters to turn up with a few £k for a deposit and to get mugged.

As always buyer beware, meet at the sellers home and make sure they exit the property in question when your there (turn up early!), no mobile numbers only type stuff ect ect...

If hes genuine it could be a bargain, or it could be a shed and hes full of excrement.

In the background of the interior pic, the E30 is left-hand drive with a foreign looking plate. Is the car even in the country?

Thats a big f4ck off scam! Its not even in the uk as stated. The e30 in the background looks U.S Spec to me. I reckon the shots where taken in the states. And its WAY underpriced. Even Practical Classics are well under valueing these.

These fetch big money but I'm not sure if they fetch as much as the following car!!! :eek:

Obviously a scam ,US carpark pics are a bit obvious. What is the coup with the dodgy looking phone number ? is it some sort of £100 per minute premium rate line ? The 'contact' number is a new twist i haven't noticed before in these scam ads :?

M1 is worth 50.000 Euros + from Germany, it itsnt a cheap car for sure and I have seen them fetch way over 50 grand in the UK so if he want to sell it for 19 grand its to cheap for sure! M1 came only in LHD I think like the M3 E30 :roll:
