Default C70 T5 wanted

Is anyone out there selling their C70 T5? or know of someone who is?

I'm looking for a change (currently have a V70 T5)

I've found a couple which look ok

I did spot a GT one on the web for £2500 with 65K on it in silver but can't get a responce! typical!

Ideally i'm looking for one with less than 100K with a decent history

Cheers

i don't think mileage comes into it much if its been looked after to be fair.. i'd go for the best spec i could afford if i was you.. there's plenty around and it's definately a buyers market at the minute!

Your quite right, a buyers market it is.. hopefully there is some good deals to be had buy us T5 lovers!

I've got a responce on the C70 mentioned above ('99 GT T5) but the guy is now living in Greece! He has suggested that I transfer money from someone I know to myself with western union and e-mail him the papers so that he can see that I am a 'serious buyer' he will then fly over and make the deal. Price is £2500

All sounds a bit dodgy to me! Has anyone ever had any experiance with buying from someone overseas?!?

I'd like the car as it does look pretty good and well kitted out... usual gt toys, bbs rims and two tone leather.

Any advice welcome

walk away and never have any dealings to do with Western Union - it's the scammers favourite tool.. there'll be better out there without the hassle/risk..

Yikes!

Don't touch it. You will be divulging not only your account details but that of your friends account and will, at the very best have those accounts rinsed. At the very worst your id is nicked - surprisingly easy - applications for most low level forms of id (library cards etc.) require only a bank statement (your western union account number would do nicely!) and another supporting bit of evidence to be issued (anyone can get a re-issue of your birth certificate). Higher forms of id will be issued with evidence of enough (easily obtainable) low level stuff. Bingo, you have a shadowy clone of yourself cheerfully applying for credit in your name.

£2500 for a C70 T5 with under 65k is probably too good to be true.

Cheers

Furthermore about your 'Greek' connection take a look at the link. Sound familiar?
