    Yeah that's what I'd say .. Too good to be true.
    The car was owned by "Wiggis" and it was a GPUKOC. It's been in and out the club since 2011 and Walter mentioned that it was up for sale a few months ago at £9995. I would suggest looking at the advert the seller has 0 feedback and only joined eBay today ... Wouldn't be one that would tempt me to but it even at the price without speaking to the previous keeper anyway.
    They have been scammed in the past with people using members cars or previous adverts to advertise them for sale.
    Careful on this one ...

    You only need two tools in life WD40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and should use WD40 and if it moves and shouldn't use Duct Tape.
