Ask him the reason for sale ? Worth a try if you really want to know.

Ask him:
'Whats wrong with it?'

If he says nothing then he's probably telling bull.

No car is completely fine, be it marks in interior, dodgy fuel consumption, leak, the air vents dont swivel from left to right completely etc

Because you have to be pre aproved to bid. Which means giveing them your details for finance/ loan

notice how they only have an email address for contact details.

most people would provide a phone number.

email addresses are virtually untraceable.

classic case of account-hi.jack.

basically they will play it sweet and get you to pay some if not all the money before hand...

Heres the reply i got

Hello,
I have received your email regarding my car 1993 FORD ESCORT RS COSWORTH 350BHP FSH.
First you have to know bidding is restricted since I am carefully with my auction,so no one will press the button until I have the assurance that he will buy it.
The car is in perfect condition,with no scratches on it,no damage. It have all the papers and documents and is registered in UK!
The price for the car is £2,995.00!!!
The car was my husband`s as he loved it very much, but he did not enjoy it as he died in a IRAQ 3 month ago. It brings very bad memories to me, I want to get rid of it.
The buyer will receive the car with all papers and receipts that he needs to register it to his name.
I am in BERLIN,GERMANY right now but the car is in UK and it will be shipped from there.
Shipping will be done whit DAS and it will take no more then 2-3 days. I have a friend there who will manage me a low price shipping and I assumed that it is my duty to pay for shipping it.It will be delivered directly to your address.
Anyway, I have to let you know that I want a fast deal so if you are really interested in buying it, please reply with the following information's:
-Your full name and address;
-Your ebay user id.
The transaction will be closed only through ebay vehicle purchase protection so we both be protected.
Also in this way you have the chance to pay after you receive and test the car!
I will look for your email,so that we can move forward with this deal!
Let me know,
Andreea
