That is peculiar, LHD cars are theoretically illegal in Indonesia. Having said that I used to have a LHD fintail in Jakarta that had exemption as it was originally owned by the Indian embassy

beware of s.e. asia scammers selling u pics and contacting u after to do a deal outside ebay, best to send a seller a question to get info as they probably hi jacked ebay account but not their emails.

Nice one Dinoy. .well said

I figured it was odd that a car so far away was posted on a UK site.
Seems I'm not alone.

It's a nice car and looking on other web-sites it's very cheap by comparison, temptingly so?!

they ask you to put the money in escrew including shipping and that is that, the money disappear and u r left with bad burnt hand. remember all they need is one.

this same picture was on ebay last week for the same car i bid for fun on it, got message from ebay beware it is a scam. i knew it.

i seen a gullwing advertised from s.e.asia my dream car for 35k, and again it was scam then i learned what their game.

another variance on nigerian letter thing, it is playing on human greed, they will take all the way then they would say we need a few thousand £'s to conclude the deal that is the scam!!

How far away is Indonesia? Too far away for extradition.

I saw an ad in a car magazine a couple of month ago... I think it was Mercdes Enthusiast... it was in the classified... between the usual old bangers, there was this 600 Pullman for around 200k... based somewhere in the far east... I wonder....

 

[dinoy]

if they got the car i would like to see the metal and prefer hand cash here in the UK, tough if they do not want to play!!

Well the asking price is a bit high but actually not entirely unreasonable, if you consider this one for example:
