Ooh, I've just had the Oil Electrician reply:


Hi,
I am presently offshore working as Chief Electrician for Armada Oil. Cash on collection would be possible starting the 14th of June when I will return on land.
The car is in excellent condition, very well taken care of. I'm really a type of guy who loves taking care of his stuff. Drives as it should, no faults mechanically or electrical. Brakes good, gearbox all good, no unusual noises, leaks or overheating.
HPI clear, no negative history against it and full documented history is present. Never been damaged or involved in accidents. No outstanding finance owing.
I only take payment by Paypal at the moment so I hope this is OK with you.
Many people are interested to buy so your prompt response will be highly appreciated.

Cheers,

And my reply

Hi <Redacted>

I'm really interested, this is my dream car in exact colour combination I've been looking for. I'm so glad to hear it has been well looked after. I can wait until 14th June when you are back on land, that is fine. Please let me know your address nearer then and I will come and take a look at the car

Thanks

Further email recieved (I've removed all names for the sake of privacy/brevity):

"I can arrange a face 2 face deal on my return but its possible to be sold by then because of the reduced price as i still have other people interested to purchase.

Let me explain how it works: ...... "

(rest of email same as previously posted by Rosco)



My reply:

Hi
It would be easier and cheaper for me to come to you and see the car, I'm only in Glasgow and you are in Erskine by the looks of it? Not that far, save myself £150 and save you the bother of arranging a truck to transport the car.

Let me know when you're back on dry land and we'll take it from there if you still have the car.

Thanks 09 RR Westminster 3.6TDV8 - Stornoway Grey / Black interior - now gone (sad face)

Even searching for this guys email domain (not his address, just the xxx.co.uk bit) first results are all related to online used car scams. 😂

The stink of scam is strong on this one.

No replies to my email, he’s probably realised I’m not an easy target. Think I’ll give it a few days and give him another tickle, 09 RR Westminster 3.6TDV8 - Stornoway Grey / Black interior - now gone (sad face)

Please let me know if my comments upset you, I may wish to upset you again.

Damn, I told ‘him’ I was a cash buyer and wanted to view this weekend.
I’ve only got as far as the first reply about needing to email due to not being able to read my message.

Just had an email from the bay saying that the account used for this auction was being used without the owners knowledge and they were sorting it out. So at least they are aware there is an issue,.

Could it be the car is genuinely for sale but the real seller isn’t getting any comms about it? 09 RR Westminster 3.6TDV8 - Stornoway Grey / Black interior - now gone (sad face)

Suppose someone with an account could do a cheeky wee HPI check ..

I reported the ad a couple of weeks back too

Just looked and it's now on autotrader @ £15,999 in Aldershot, should we ping them an email ?
