These people are assholes for pulling these scams but to be honest if you hand over money to a stranger without driving or even seeing a car you're a moron. The reality of life is that you can't trust some people.
Sent the seller a message asking to view the car but apparently it's in Spain. He has offered to drop the price to £3k if i pay by direct bank transfer, he will ship the car to me and with his personal guarantee, if i am not 100% satisfied he will refund me less shipping costs. Sounds legit.
It's cheap because it's a red one...
