Nsw Forumer Looking For Some Help

[iplen]

Just wondering if any members live around the Cudlee creek area, and based on the fact there only 700ish people there would know of the bloke who's car I am looking at... Name is Michael Gray, the car is a GU Patrol Ti.. have recieved this e-mail back after enquiring about it.

I confirm that the car is immaculate technically and aesthetically speaking.

There is no outstanding finance on the car, also the car comes with a full service history and RWC.

The last price, including door to door delivery, is $12800.(with shipping costs included!)

I love this car and i am very upset at having to sell it,it has served me well but i just moved to High Wycombe, WA and i can't afford to keep it and i need the money fast so i can pay off some debts.

The car was advertised on eBay as well and i will run the transaction only under their terms and conditions for our own protection.

A deposit of $4900 is requiered to buy my car and reserve it for you.

We will use eBay Buyer Protection Program (BPP) which will hold the deposit until you receive the car.

Your funds will be 100% insured by eBay.

You will have 5 days inspection period, so you'll be able to see and inspect the car before buying it.

If you don't like the car after inspection or is not as i've describe it, you can reject the deal.

If you need more information regarding the transaction just visit the following web page from eBay 's website :

http://www.ebay-australia-buyer-protection.au-overviews.com/Carsales/

If you are interested in this car please provide me the following details in order to start the transaction through eBay :

-Your Full Name and Shipping Address

-Your eBay ID

-Any negative feedback and if so .... for what reason .

Considering we don't have RWC's for a start that flies a warning flag for me. I've seen scams like this before, definitely something to be weary of IMO; even the wording seems off

[iplen]

yeah, have since reported it to Carsales... I thought the ad had been written by an idiot who didn't know what their car was, but the strange details combined with this e-mail... back looking for a car..

[Madaz]

yeah if it sounds and looks too good to be true often its not

having a search that car is worth way more than 12,800

>>Car here<<

[heslo]

I've since followed that link, it's a scam. Load it up then try to click on "Buy" "My eBay" "Sell" etc etc on the top, they don't link to anything....

Stay away

Keeping the conversation going while I wait for carsales to pick up the report, but just VERY slowly... Was aware the car was worth more like 22k, but as I said, thought it was just an idiot seller. Oh well...

At least you checked it first!

LOL!

Ask him for his bank details so you can just deposit the full

Amount in as your positive you want it.

Watch the cvnt salivate until he gets busted.

from a patrol perspective, something doesnt add up

thats at least an 04-05 model pictured, the 1998 model with a petrol engine wouldnt have had a 4.8 twin cam, would have had a 4.5 single cam. following a few other details in the pics, thats definitely a series 3 GU 4.8..........easily still a high 20k / low 30k car. and not to mention in the 4th picture theres an ST decal,

i smells a scam

and maybe a fart

[heslo]

and maybe a fart

Yeah.... That was me, sorry

[iplen]

Thanks Matt, I figured the seller was an idiot, all the shots are the same car.. But has the ST stickers, TD bonnet, TI interior, 4.8 motor, is listed as 4.5l 4.8 Petrol Diesel.. Was aware it had to be 10/01 onwards, and that it was a $25+k car.
