Purchasing a Irish Reg car in Germany

LolaDub

I came across this on cbg with an a4 cabriolet and a porsche cayenne both low mileage, good condition, low price and both had pictures taken at sandymount car park. Seller couldn't provide a phone number or any contact details other than a bizarre email address. Couldn't provide any additional info on car and said it was already in storage ready to be shipped so i couldn't go to see it. Also suggested an escrow service at his shipping company but when i contacted them they said they didn't even provide that service.

Craichoe if you're selling a genuine car you should be able to provide serial and chassis numbers etc and the car should be available for people to see. You could always send it over here to a friend who could sell it onto a garage.

All the best value in BMW X5 do not have telephone contacts either?
Am I right to be suspicious?

This guy is a total creep. i emailed re a VW toureg on Carzone. Hilarious reading the above posts as he gave me the exact same story, did his masters in Dublin recently moved back to rosberg but found the RHD too uncomfortable.He also wanted me to enter into an escrow agrrement using Iloxx.de. i emailed Iloxx and they stated that they will do transfers between Austria and Germany. I think the cops need to be informed of Mathias Ilgner and scammin and also the pictures he is using are clearly other peoples cars and he is stupid enough not to cover up the No. plates. also his email address is @yahoo.ie which suggests he has an irish IP. Just my thoughts . Cheers

Sickening that Carzone is still listing these scams despite being informed....

When i came across one on cbg as soon as i informed they they did take it down. I think the scammer had an email like @spainmail.biz it was a fairly random name to it.

Shouldn't these scammers be prosecuted. I was scammed out of 800 euro last year and nothing ever happened. I think the websites should be monitoring the ads

How would anyone think the low prices could be for real?

Heres the same car scam again.

Same story - German guy (going by name of Christoper Friedrich) does Masters in Dublin, brings car back to Germany, umcomfortable to drive a RHD. Wants money sent via escrow to website iloxx.de
