Just goes to show how easy it is to break the rules on EBay and still re list items.

[AndyC]

But every time he lists it he has to pay the listing fee.....

[bez101]

he will prob the account off when its due
and make a new account

[cookie st]

is there any way of us all bidding on the car and get it to a stupid amount of money,then become a time waster and pulling out without it costing us any money

[bez101]

wont cost you a penny and he cant leave neg feedback
worst you will get is a non payment strike

After reading this whole thread, I've been giggling away with some of your responses! I did notice this on the advert....
"

plus with this being a 2011 face lift model it comes with unmarked metallic black alloys rather than boring silver! it also has factory fitted Side stripes so it stands out from other ST's"

I'm fairly sure he posted on here saying he had them refurbished and that he put the stripes on! That is never going to sell......

He's relisted again cos he believes I want to buy! Will drag it out a little more, maybe set up a fake meet and leave him waiting for me!

You need to take a camera... Pretend to take pics... But actually video the whole thing! Then post on YouTube! Please? I would wet my pants if you did!!

Guys don't get involved with showing false interest, its not worth it, just keep an eye on it and leave it at that.

First thing, hi all, new to site and almost in the market for an ST3, have read the whole of this thread and i am getting the feeling that i shouldn't go for this one, right? hahahaha

[adgieman]

Hi guys. I seen this car on ebay and seen the thread on here, I was very intrested in the car and live close enough so i thought lets check it out.
The vin numbers all mach up on the car (obviously engine from a doner car), The questions about it being a ringer also seem to be incorrect. If it was a ringer it would have all the parts from 1 car. R82 TEF has ST3 headlights and ST2 seats. the car is a 2.5 on log book and has had a vic check to confirm its lagit.

I think you guys have been abit harsh on Ben altho he was in the wrong for insuring it differently.

Also i seen someone had gone through his feedback and seen he'd been buying paints ect, Well seeing as Ben is a panel beater and works for a large company that repairs cars and is also insurance approved seems to add up. He informed me where he works and it turns out that one of my previous cars had gone there for some repair work.

So unless you guys have got some real evidence instead of egging eachother on and adding 2+2 and making 6, You should all pipe down and give the lad a break. Im happy enough that this is a genuine car built up from a few different focus' so i will be watching it on ebay and perhaps have a bid.

Thanks for reading and happy motoring.

You're not best mates with him by any chance, happy bidding
