Havard Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Mark Bowell.............sounds like he's talking shite mate!! Even if it was genuine I wouldn't sell it based on that e-mail. I can't remember what the scam is now, I think a fake bankers draft or the cancel the cheque after they have picked up the car. It should be cash, cash, cash mate!! H.

n boost Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 I had a few of them as well when i had my supra for sale. Why would someone genuine buy based on pics anyway? Tell him to come down in person and pay cash and u will give him a discount and see what he say's to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Notice how he hasnt written Toyota Supra? Its so he can blast off 1000 emails to every seller on the internets faster and unfortunatly some un suspecting person will fall for it!
