This is curious.

Could even be genuine. Don't know how much advertising space costs.

If I've read that right, the car is paid for by the advertising displayed upon it.

However I am free to sell the car at any point.

Whats to stop me selling the car to the g/f for a pound then removing the adverts?

Looks and sounds genuine, if not misguided and unachievable.

Isn't that some company in Nigeria ?
I doen't trust this kind of business.
In holland we sometimes get letters from Nigerian companies and they would like to send you money, in the end you always lose about 10.000 euro's to that company. It's been on TV in the netherlands, you must be very carefull with these things, especially because you have to pay first.

Very suss indeed. Starts by saying max value is $150,000 then £150,000 is talked about later.

Whos $'s????? HK$ are very different to us$.

It also states you win a voucher for the car. Im sure vouchers are basically worthless in terms of face value. Surprisingly it doesnt state what car show you will be presented at. It will be a nightmare if it is in an obscure country whereby you cant get it home.

Am i being over sceptical?

I would never trust this. Too many things that are just not right. Email, no bank guarantee of any sort, he says he has other revenue than says he needs the 10.000 to fund this project... Don't do it if you were thinking... Not Locost anyway...

Looks well dodgy!





I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours. http://shop.ebay.co.uk/furoreproducts/m.html?_dmd=1&_ipg=50&_sop=12&_rdc=1

If it sounds too good to be true, it's usually because it is. If you think you can raise £150,000 from advertising on a single car you need to lay off the drugs a touch

Yeah.
That buyer has either just bagged a new AMV8 or F430 at a saving of around £140k, or he's £10,000 poorer.
