Is this scale genuine or a scam? Doesn't look right.

I would say scam. There have been reports of scams on this platform.

But you can not be sure, before you do not ask?

Hello,

Thank you for your reply. The car is currently in England, London with me. Transportation is free. I understand your concern that's why i propose you a fair deal. I prefer to do this sale through a specialized company in this kind of transactions because they will take care of everything. They will do the registration documents, change of the ownership, border documents, etc.

The company policy require a deposit of 2000 Euros from total price after they will confirm you that the car is at them. You will pay the rest when it will arrive, inspect it and decide if you keep it.

The deposit will remain on hold at the company until you receive and inspect the car.

Before the deposit of 2000 Euros you will receive the shipment details, the legal documents signed by me and the Tracking Number with what you can verify the status of the shipment on their site. In this way you can be sure that's a perfectly legitimate and legal sale.

You will have a Return Policy for 10 Days. After you receive it you will have 10 days of testing (I mean take it to a mechanic, check the documents and everything). After the inspection period, if the car is not like described, you can return the car with NO COSTS and the company will send you the money back in the same day. If you keep it (which I am sure will happen because the car has absolutely no problem), you will have to pay the rest of the price. In this way we are both protected and nothing can go wrong.

Please let me know if you accept my terms so that we can conclude this deal in a matter of days.

I have seen this exact same scam done with a Lamborghini Countach that was in the Northwest Territories of Canada... The one problem was that here are no paved roads in NWT...So you needed to go to Yellowknife to see the car after you send a deposit amount of $10 000.- for a car that they would sell to you at $25 000.- and was valued at around $100 000.- it smelled wrong and in the end was a scam that collected some money from e-bay motors clients...

It is most definitely a scam.

Car pictured is 13293:

Quite a few different car related scams has occured here recently. The scams always seems to be executed by people from another country.

Buyer scam:

1) Ask for a deposit or the full amount without delivering anything.

Seller scams:

1) Collect a sellers car and pay using a false cheque. Seller is left with nothing....

2) Call a seller and tell him you want to buy his car (without inspection....). A few days later the seller receives a 15.000 Euro cheque - But the asking price was only 10.000 Euros...... The scammer then ask the seller to transfer 5.000 Euros back to him!!!! The 15.000 Euro cheque later turns out to be false, and the bank won't clear it. The sellers loose 5.000 Euros.

I don't understand why people fall for those scams. If something sounds to good to be true it almost always is.

the other thing that rattles my cage is that this creep cropped a picture from the vassard collection and the description of the car, an early 1980's car is not the picture he posts. 05/83 production did not have rolldown rear windows and pepperpot rims. Is he too lazy to go outside and take a picture of his own car to post? Does he not own a digital camera? Or is it more that he does not have the car...handy...to photograph!
