Does this look dodgy?
The 2010 Skoda Fabia Hatchback is still available for £3900.
I sent an email on Autotrader about a car and this was the reply:
The car is in excellent condition, garage kept and accident free. It has no dents or scratches. The mileage is real and I never had any problems with the engine. The car looks and works just perfect. It comes with MOT (valid till 08/2014) and Road Tax ( valid till 07/2014). I have all the original papers including full service history.
I must tell you that we recently moved in the Northern part of United Kingdom. We bought a property in a beautiful sea-side city called Inverness (in Scotland). The car is here aswell.
We are a couple (I have 54 and my wife is 51 years old) and we love to spend our time on the road. If you are really interested we are ready to make a trip to England and meet you personally this week. You can take the car for a test-drive and any kind of inspection.
Please tell us where you live, I am sure we can arrange a meeting, a region acceptable for us and for you in the same time or we can deliver the car to your home.
Thank you and let me know,
John

That bit is what they will get you to do, paying money up front and never receiving anything.
Looks like a variant on the just moved abroad and car still in UK scam.

Doesn't sound legit. Ask for a landline to ring them on?

Why would a Brit feel like they needed to explain Scotland was the northern part of the UK and describe it like that.

That's what I thought too after reading it. It all sounds very "generic" so to speak.murf wrote:Why would a Brit feel like they needed to explain Scotland was the northern part of the UK and describe it like that.

Re: Does this look dodgy?
Have replied with the following:
I am really interested and would love to meet up and see the car.
I am going to watch Villa on the weekend and we could meet before the game in Birmingham if you want.
Will bring £3,900 in cash with me.
Let's see if they take the bait.

What Rich means is: now we know where you're parking, we need to know if you'll be carrying 4 grand in cash
