Just a warning to anyone who's looking for a Z3M at the moment.

There is currently a car advertised on PH. 81k miles and £11.7k. Too good to be true I thought. I sent an email to investigate.

Reply was 24 hours later. He explained he was a doctor working in Poland so couldn't show me the car but sent a load of pictures with the reg number photoshopped out and the reg number so I could HPI it. I didn't. I asked him if I could view the car and he replied saying it was with a shipping agent. I should pay them, they will deliver it and if I didn't like it I could return it for a full refund within 7 days.

I have reported it to PH. They will make of it what they will, but I smell a rat.

Sorry if I have posted this in the wrong section, but wasn't quite sure where it should go.

That sounds like the same scam that was highlighted 7/8 years ago, they're always working abroad. If you did do an HPI check it may well warn of the scam.
