Allsorts on Pistonheads Dunk.
Might as well stick it on. They have a section for shopping cars :-D
Stick it in there and the Punto section.
Good luck.

These scams can be quite a good laugh. The person who is doing the scam is no doubt foreign and got an English phrase book. It can be amusing stringing them along. Waste their time, as they are definately wasting yours trying to scam your money.

I must say I sold my GTO within 3 days of putting it on PistonHeads

So a big thumbs up from me as long as you avoid the scams :lol:

Stay well clear Dunk, had a friend get caught out by this to a certain extent. He paid the funds in to his account, by cheque I think, and he thought 'What can go wrong? If the cheque clears then they can have the car' but the cheque was stolen and he got all his funds seized, accounts stopped and found himself being investigated by the fraud squad! It all worked out but was a huge pain in the arse for him for a couple of weeks. Beware!
