I will only be able paying you via paypal or bank transfer. Am from Bolton, but am presently India for a conference,I saw this advert with a colleagues here in the conference hall, and i like the car. I want to purchase it for my family and i want it to be a surprise to them all. my phone is not working here i should have called you to discuss this issue, neither will i be come to view the car, i will contact a shipping company to come to you for the pick after the payment has been confirmed. if you don't have a paypal account you can easily log in to www.paypal.co.uk to set up the account with them.

Petrol.Head Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 This is rich "I want to purchase it for my family" I suspect he is going to convert it to a four seater by adding a dicky seat in place of the spare wheel carrier. Maybe this is a cut and paste job of some text used for any fantom car purchase. Still anything is possible so I hope its not a genuine bloke from Bolton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simeon, This is a straight deal, give me all your bank details and when the the money arrives I will leave the car in a service station close to you to save you a trip . Honest!!! Some people are so mistrustful. How's a guy expected to early a straight buck these days Regards Tonys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick PC Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Would be worth the double bluff, buy a model of a burgervan ask for the money and ship the model. He would get two things he did not expect a model and one of a lesser mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
