Either someone's after your money or they can't count over 3700 or it's one of those "my husband betrayed me and now I'm giving away his car" - kinda scenarios

Or simply nicked ...

It's golden anyway ...

Hmm it's not even like it's a misprint...(like there's no way it's meant to be €37,000)......i wonder....no contact phone number is a bit suspect alright.

looks like the photos of the car were taken up North or in the UK (going by the yellow reg plates of the other cars), yet it's private sale in Dublin...

Hey ppls
Just emailed the seller and asked them about the cars location and questioning the price, below is the response.

"Hello,
Thank you for your interest on my car also for your e-mail. I want to
apologize for my late reply but for the moment i'm not in city, i'm busy
with my work.
The car is still available for sale, the car is in perfect condition,
no accidents, no damages, no scraches.
I will be sincere with you and I will provide you all the technical details
about the car and trust me that I have nothing to hide regarding it.
I am the only person who drove it, and I can tell you that I never had
problems or accidents with it. I always made the inspection in time and the km's are
real. The service was made only on Authorized Garage, i have the service
book and all invoices.
The tires are in good condition, the car come with summer tires equipment
but i have the winter tires too.
Considering the car's general conditions and my financial needs,i cannot say
that i can negociate it too much.
I received a lot of emails from interested buyers but I only take in
consideration those buyers who are really interested in
buying the car, to be sure that I don't spend my time with endless
discussions.
I will wait for your further e-mail and I will do all my best to answer you
in time.
Kind Regards"

The guy is obviously not a native English speaker and has brought the car in with him from his native country. My guess Northern European as we use winter and summer tyres.

eh, I'd say it is more than likely just a typical 419 scam.

It's clearly a scam and was removed this morning ["This car was recently SOLD (Wednesday, 25 October 2006)"]
