Definitely a scam. I would expect that price for an early-ish high miler. Definitely not a facelift with only 8k on the clock.
EDIT: It's also fully loaded with pretty much every conceivable extra bar the paddle shift.

Blatant scam - I don't understand though. it's a classified ad, so you'd go and view the car before you handed any money over surely .
If you did any different, i'd wonder how you managed to get the money together to buy t in the first place, cause you must be a bit dim .
Only other explanation is that the guy think's he can sell ice to the Eskimo's, so when people get in touch, he'll notify them that the price is wrong, and the actuall price is "x", then try a sales pitch for the car that's price double at what it's advertised .

surely people would view the car before handing that sort of money over, whether its classified or auction

Its genuine people. Ive checked the mileage at HPI and it says 8000. So it may not be a blatent scam.

Dan - Whilst the mileage may well be genuine, whats saying that he actually owns that car, and it isn't sat in a dealers somewhere?

^ Very true mate. Same could be said for everything on ebay though. Doesnt seem a bad price. Youd be an idiot if you were to spash out on £8000 without seeing the car in the first place anyway.

SCAM: Theres hundreds of cars listed like this and every user has 0 feedback.
I would expect the car is dodgey or when you turn up with a few ££££ in your pocket you get mugged.

I think the Works version comes with it. Not sure about standard. They use the same 6 speed Ford-Getrag box as the ST170 / ST220.
