 Just decided to have a look on PH at whats for sale, and straight away on the first pages find two that are obviously not genuine,
Lupo GTI £2600 
Clio 182 low mileage £4000
Who falls for this crap!

You mean after they have shipped it over from Nigeria
Emailed the lupo guy, this is what i got:
Thank you for your interest in purchasing my car.The vehicle is in good condition, has no technical damage at all, no scratches or dents, no hidden defects, no smoking.It's fun and robust to drive. Technical inspection and emissions testing is passed and stamped as well. It has title of ownership, cleared of any obligations or fees and comes with all the documents you need to register it.You will not have to pay additional taxes for this.Please feel free to email me with any questions you may have.
So i asked him why it would need re-registering?
He replied:
I have worked in UK for the last 2 years and I've purchased the car there. My company wanted me back home, so currently I'm in Italy. I've bring the car home with me. I decided that is better to sell it because I don `t use it anymore (the wheel is on right side and is very difficult for me to drive it in Italy) and it `s a pitty to keep such a car and not to use it.
I realize that is a cheap price for such a car but my special situation makes me do things that I wouldn't do in normal circumstances.
The price I am looking for my car is £2,600 including the shipping costs,insurance and handling(delivery to EUROPE).
Do they think we were born yesterday?
