Only $12, 000? That seems too good to be true.

^ yeah, when I was looking for a car I'd call places up asking about a car, and if it was a dealer they'd say yeah come check it out and when I got there they'd be like oh it's been sold or we can't find it.. BUT we got these other cars you can check out since you're already here..

Subject: Re: Information Request on BMW 330Xi


Hello there,
Thank you for contacted for my 2003 BMW 330 XI wich is posted for sale.Total price with shipping included is CAD 12,000. I am in Lisbon ( Portugal ) working in a Hospital.The car was bought from the Canada, it is made for the Canadian market, it meets the Canadian specs and the Canadian road worthy regulations and it complies with the Canadian emisions standard. The car is accurate, corosion free, no scratches, no damage of any kind, was properly serviced and stored, have a clear title, all the manuals and the original documents are in English. The buyer will receive them along with title and all the additional documents needed for registration upon purchase.
I am a private seller not a dealer. I spend a lot of the time in Canada with business but I have my family here in Portugal.I took the car here with me here a few weeks ago but i need to sell it because i have problems to register the car here because was made for us market and i will buy another car from here
I know the price is cheaper then normal on the market but I want to sell the car faster then usually and I assume that a lower price will be a good solution. I hope there won't be any argue for the price as this is my last price
I'm willing to ship the car to you and I can cover most of the shipping and insurance fees to your location.
If you are still interested please contact me back so we can start the deal.
Looking forward to hear from you.
Kind regards
Simon

Can you say SCAM? the guy's name is Simon Hopkinson, that's as whitebread as a name comes, but the English is pretty bad.
