Default Same shit different odour.

Except this time its a Mazda 3 and its on drive.com.au

Hello and sorry for the delay,

The 2005 MAZDA SP23 is in perfect working condition. My experienced MAZDA tech has fully checked out this car and gives it a special high rating has a CLEAR and CLEAN TITLE a great history and mechanically without any problems ever safety check and pre-delivery inspection along with a fresh servicing before I ship or deliver the vehicle. The problem is that in the meanwhile I had to move with my family in Helsinki,Finland where I got a new job as a construction engineer. I brought the car here with me with the intention of driving it but when I found out about the very high import duties and all the restrictions regarding registration and emissions tests here I have made up my mind and decided to sell the vehicle.
If you are interested in buying it the price is AU $8100.
The car will be shipped from Helsinki,Finland, on my expense and will be delivered directly to your door in 10-12 days. I will pay the shipping fees. The car will be insured at the shipping company for the transport.
The car is still AU registered so you will not have to pay any custom taxes.
The transaction will be made under Drive's buyer protection plan for our own safety.
Your funds will be 100% insured by Drive and I will be sure that I will receive the payment.
You will have 15 days from the time you receive the car to inspect it and decide if you want to keep it or not.

If you are interested in buying it please provide me your full name and address so I can initiate the deal through Drive.

I'm a serious seller and a fair trader and I prefer to deal only with a serious buyer.
Let me know if you are still interested.

Regards,


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I don't know what's funnier. The people who come up with these scams or the people who actually fall for them.

Yeah for $8100 it's a bargain so I would want to give them a call too. It probably comes with 100 years warranty too.

Would they trade my car for it do you reckon?

I was looking through the prices of SP23s because Im selling mine, then I came across his ad and thought he's left a 2 off the fron of the price so I emailed him and got the bogus reply. Then I emaild him back and told him he wa sthe fourth such fraud I have dealt with in the last month and what do you know, he didn't write back.
