Looks a bargain.

Do you reckon he'll take £3400 for it?

Didnt they stop the pre-approved buyer thing at ebay?

I looked at the Pre-approved thing and wondered how the con worked, then I found this
which is a very effective con, particularly if you are new to ebay.

you need to trust your gut instinct and the old saying: "if it seems too good to be true..."

The car looks fantastic, but such a pity, that some con merchant is trying to rip people off!

I would expect a car of that quality to be 20K +
