no thats not RAT
rat is for sale in Shefield

and is £1000 dearer
and yes i did consider rat but that would be on my absolute top limit
with no change to play and modify
the one i am looking at is from this company

We got loads of those when selling our Disco last year.
I sent them all a reply where I told them the lowest price I'd accept and that if paying by means other than cash that the money must be clear in my account for 30days before the car would be released.
Also I insisted that before we proceeded further I wanted a uk landline tel number, a non-web based email address for them and a verifyable postal address for them.
On one I even said that I had no problem with the deal as a friend worked for Scotland Yard in the fraud dept and he would be able to make sure the payment was ok etc :D
Funnily enough not one ever replied back :D

Number 6 has the tail-tail signs of a scam, as do they all really.
But No.6 is a well known one: They issue a forged cheque to you and then, thinking the cheque has cleared in your account, you send the added shipping cost to the shipping agents and they run off with your money when their cheque bounces a week or so later!! :evil:
