looks like one of those scams where the seller has "got a job abroad, but doesn't like driving a RH drive car on the continent."

You send them cash via Western Union and they will "ship you the car"

Such a good rep, he's even got the RS2000 engine to look like a transversely mounted Cosworth one! :o :lol: :P

Does look dodgy as the seller has 0 feedback, or the seller missed a 1 off the beginning of the price.
Anyway, question sent!

f**k me people are stupid - you advertise a £12k car on ebay for £3k and you have no feedback - what do they think your going to do press buy it now and pay all the cash via paypal that instant.

So they can try and scam the arse out of westerners - bite the hand that feeds you comes to mind

Fools,

The only reason it's on there so cheap is to get people to email the seller.

If you didn't hide your email address then they use it somehow to "hack" into your eBay account.

Thats why there's normally a one liner somewhere on these scam listings saying "Please don't hide your email address, otherwise i won't be able to reply" :rolleyes:

I'm not trying to offend anyone but...

There's a 99% chance the guy doesn't own an escort RS cosworth at all, so there's no point in asking a question you will never get a reply to?

There are some stupid people out there. I bet he has hundreds of people's emails going on the number of views.
