his ad in autotrader has an email, as it was 1am when i saw the ad, i emailed him and got a reply this morning:

Hi there,
the Civic is still available for the price of £6800. The car is 100% working and great looking, no scratches, scuffs, dents or any kind of damage.
I have just moved to Greece because my wife is Greek and she got a very good job offer here. The car is here with us as well.
I am selling it because I cannot manage with the right-hand drive here. You should also know that it is still registered in the UK.
Please email me back soon and let me know if you are still interested in a transaction.
All the best
Robert

hehe just got a reply from him:

Hello, if we come to an agreement the car will be delivered directly to your home address and the cost for that and for the insurance will be included in the initial sale price. The car will be shipped by truck and that will take about 6-7 days.
I suggest that we close this deal using the security provided by Triple Deal on such transactions. It is an international escrow service that works great, it is safe and really fast.
About the payment procedures I will notify Triple Deal and they will contact you shortly to let you know their terms.
Please get back to me as soon as possible and let me know if you agree with that or not.
All the best
Robert

im surprised he never said use paypal, and escrow is secure yeh? hmm

lol its good to play!
