Got this email from the seller, very dodgy.
Hello there and thanks for your interest.
I’m very glad that you like my car and I can only say that you have good taste about cars! The price I want to obtain for it is £7,200 (this price includes shippment and insurance charges). In order to eliminate any concerns I can accept a deposit of £ 3,000. After you will make the deposit then just forward the transfer details to Square Trade so they can check the deposit, and only after receiving and inspecting the car you will send me the remaining balance.
The car is like new, completely working, low miles, 2003 Audi S4 model. It has always been garage kept. It is an UK model with UK specs (RHD) and it is still registered there and you will have no problem with registration. Shipping will be done via TNT Shipping Company from Bratislava, Slovakia and it will take no more then 4 days for the car to arrive at the delivery location. I am in the Military and TNT will manage me a low price for shipping and if you will pay the money transfer taxes wich will be at £ 150, I will pay for the shipping fees. I will arrange for you not to pay any duties when the car will pass through customs. In this way the car will be delivered to your home address.
Unfortunately I wasn’t able to register the car here because the car is an RHD so I decided to sell it to someone back in UK. If you want to have it registered here have to start an individual procedure for the vehicle through the Government, pass several technical tests and make a lot of changes to the car which are expensive they told me. This is why I am selling the car so cheap.
This is a overseas purchase and I would like to use a third party for this transaction as I want a smooth and safe transaction. We will use Square Trade, I have completed a lot of successful deals using them. I have a Purchase Protection Account for US $20,000 and I assume you know what this means. If this is your first time using Square Trade here are their terms: if you will not receive the car exactly as advertised or you won’t receive it in 15 days since you made the payment, Square Trade will refund you from my account.
If you agree with these terms, please reply with your full name, home and shipping address in your next email so I can register the transaction with Square Trade asap.
Regards,

I’ve seen similar adds on ebay for cars at stupid money,
There was a E46 M3 been sold a few months ago for well below list price!
and you had to be a pre-approved bidder too.....hmmm..
You need your head examined to give £3000 to a seller without seeing the car!
Pete.S : have you handed over your hard earned cash to this person!!!

Scam alert !

Nah, was joking. Surely a registration check will reveal more? His email kinda makes sense, but if anyone was seriously interested, I'd scrutinise this "Square Trade" company as carefully as cleaning your alloys!DavidT wrote:Did you ?Pete.S wrote:.... cos I bought it

There are any number of scams on ebay and I fear this is one of them.
