    2012 Kuga - asking... €6140.

    Looks odd, could it be on UK plates?

    Thats only going by what they added into the ad in fairness which could be complete bull. Its an odd one, how much should they be going for in that vintage?

    I don't see how that's not a scam. It's a hugely under-priced car already, and they say they're willing to listen to offers.

    Reckon if you offered them €5k they'd accept then try to get you to use Western Union.

    Nothing that a quick ring cannot sort out.

    Ad gone. If it was showing an 021 number only it was most likely a scam.
