    Just came across this ad...

    I doubting if £20,000 will get you that car.
    Though maybe if you write a quick cheque the new guy on the job might sell it. :D

    The other problem is that it'll probably cost as much to get it back from ... BALI ?????

    Ahh I never noticed that.

    Sounds like one of those scams where a buyer tries to flog you a car using the pics of someone else's motor. Apparantly there's a bunch of people in Indonesia doing this.

    Better cancel that cheque. :eek:

    so what

    30K for the car, 30K to get it home, 30K to run it for a year

    250K when you sell it in the uk!!!! Victory

    I guess that calculation is about right, except there is a flaw in your scheme:

    30k for the car is right, but then ..... ooops.... no car .... money gone ..... ouch.

    If a deal seems to be too good to be true, then you can bet on it, it isn't !!!!
