WHY are the Scorpio's so cheap in England  ??? In Romania a Ghia Scorpio with an average of 100 k miles costs about 6000 euros meaning at least 4k pounds  :o . Must say also i never even heard of an existing ultima ! Even a non-ghia is about 3k pounds  :-X

PS: and the quality ...i bet you don't buy it with worn seats, worn steering wheel, all the bushes shot...etc  :P

PS2 : and forgot to mention, the Romanian govern applied a law in contradiction with the Europe laws, so if you bring a car from another country you have to pay a "first subscribing tax", an average value for a 2.3 Scorpio would be around 3.5K pounds !!! and a 2.9 will cost 4.7k pounds !!! Incredible isn't it !  @

....hic....hic.... ;D

Hang on a minute....it was Mr Floppy who said it was a £1500 start...so when I looked at it & it was £2000, I naturally assumed that the seller had just increased the start price......hic....hic....  ;D

That starting bid price is mad and the one on the screen he's trying to sell it at is dillusional!!

Some people really haven't got a clue have they.

Might offer £500 to take it off his hands!

No,         I meant that  as a start price  2 grand was way too high.


  A more sensible £500 start price might have attracted a   few  offers.


  The secret of E-Bay  is not  to overprice  your  items.

Btw, DO NOT FOLLOW THE LINK IN THE SECOND QUESTION. It's a scam site set up to try and steal your login and password.
