missed a bargain

just having a quick look on pistonheads and i saw a clio 172 track car running 200bhp for £500!!! had 65000 on clock and lots of mods, so rang the fella and he got rid of it for £450!! he had genuine reason for sale as he was desperate for cash. he must be bonkers.
 
That's either nicked or he's mental. I mean even at 1k you'd sell it within a day or so!? Maybe he REALLY owed someone some money...
 
they do say "when something is too good to be true...then it really is" :foxspeed:
 
Why the hell would you sell that car for £500? He must have got himself in to some serious trouble, or it's dodgy, my thinking is the latter.
 
The bit that got my suspicion is this:

'Call John on 07725 915353'

The Pistonheads advert is listed by Paul Watson...

:s
 
It's Paul car, john must just be "looking after it for him" :wink: lol!

Defo dodgy, still tempting. I suppose if you get the log book etc it'd be worth a punt for that money?
 
£500 is a lot of money to loose when the police come and take the car off your driveway and you don't get anything back other than a thanks from the original owner!
