How dodgy is this? - 18 November 2009 22:01 ( #1 )
evening all,

i enquired about a car I saw on autotrader and got the response below.

Hello there,
I am glad to hear that you are interested to buy my 2006 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT SPORT TDI 140 AUTOMATIC ! Although I am registered in the UK, i recently moved to Cadiz, Spain (where my family is from) and the car is being shipped from here. I want to sell it in UK due to the fact that it's an UK version (right handed),it meets all UK standards.I bought this car from UK and It still has UK registration, so you won't have to pay any import and insurance fees.The car meets all United Kingdom guidelines so there will be no problem regarding UK Customs policy on receiving the car.The car is in perfect condition, the bodywork is immaculate,no scratches, dents or hidden defects as well as the interior in excellent non-smoking condition , never been implied in any accident and it is as advertised .The car comes with log book, HPI cleared, No finance. You will get from me the keys and all documents to register the car in you name. If the car is not how i described it, i will offer a full refund. It will be insured during transportation and will be delivered at your address in maximum 10 days. Final price is GBP 4,000 (the price includes shipping and insurance fees).The price is low because the car is right hand drive in a country where all cars are left hand drive so in the Spain is very difficult to drive this type of vehicle and nobody wants to buy it here in Spain.Instead of keeping it in garage (during this economical crisis), I decided to sell it to someone back in the UK for a really attractive price.I want to take this opportunity to assure you that this deal is 100% legitimate,the deal will be manage by a third party,in this way both buyer and seller are 100% covered during the steps of this transaction.
Let me know if you need any further details or if you would like to buy my 2006 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT SPORT TDI 140 AUTOMATIC.
Thank you!


would you go anywhere near this?


Thanks for any opinions

Have seen this many a time. next you'll be aked to send them a deposit of some sort.
Report them to Autotrader to save some fool from actually believing it.

Dodgy enough to avoid like the plague, unless you have £4000 that you'd like to never see again (and dont want a car either)

Sounds fine to me - Cadiz is a port town, so it makes sense really.

If you're worried about it I can broker the deal - I'll need first class tickets to Cadiz airport, and an apartment, for say a week, to make sure that everything runs smoothly.

As your on MT I'll not even expect payment for it, however will charge out meals/drinks/etc as required....

Got a similar email when my sister was looking for a car in the summer. We then got an email from "autotrader" saying that this was a genuine seller and the transaction was 100% guaranteed.

20  minutes later we got an email from the real autotrader warning us, if we did not already know, that it was a scam and they had noticed we had enquired about the car.

Email him and say that it's a crazy coincidence as you actually have family in Cadiz as well so it makes sense for you to collect the car when you visit them for Christmas, that will have him stumped.
