So iv been looking to buy a new car and I saw one that took my fancy, I thought the price that was on the advert was incorrect, 09 plate BMW 123d at £3500, so I emailed the owner as they were 20 miles away from me on the ad asking if I could come look at the car.
Here is the reply:
Hello there,
I am glad to hear that you are interested to buy my 2009 BMW 123d Coupe M Sport.
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 the 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 won’t be any 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 which is in excellent non-smoking condition , has never been implied in any accident and it is as advertised .The car comes with log book, HPI cleared, No finance. You will get the keys and all documents from me to register the car in your 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.
I want to inform you that, after all the offers we received today the final price for this car is 3,750 GBP (the price includes shipping to UK 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 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 managed by a well known company,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 car.
Thank you
So, knowing this is a scam how do I go about stringing them along.
