Great War truck Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 I think that we should bombard the seller with inane questions. here was mine: I am quite interested in this Jeep, but i see from the photo that it is left hand drive, do you think that it has been converted from right hand drive after the rebuild?

ArtistsRifles Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 OK - just chipped in too: Thats an interesting looking Jeep - why, after all the work listed are you parting with it? And why the low price??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demon Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Demon - do you think that your pictures were lifted from here - where else did you post them? Hi Jack, the complete advert was has been copied from ebay. It's exactly the same other than the text font , the price (classified ad) and the last bit about the questions. I've notified ebay, if everyone does it maybe they'll pull it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowtracdave Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Just asked if they can tell me what mpg is , what top speed is , if they'd take cash & can they deliver .

Great War truck Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 I have had a response from the seller. I wonder who helped him with his English language Hello, The car is in excellent condition, no damage, never involved in any accidents, garage kept, clear HPI, full service history! I am selling this car for £2200 including delivery anywhere in UK. I think this is a low price but i need cash for a family emergency. I have to tell you that I'm currently out of town with some major problems so pick up/view isn't an option. If you want to buy this vehicle email me back with your full name and address to start the official procedure trough eBay. They will send you a notification with ALL the info regarding delivery, purchase protection and refund policy so please provide your details before more questions. You will find 90% of answers in that notification from eBay! Thank you! - hester.daniel4 I shall ask him some more questions when i get back from work Tim (too) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony B Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 Only trouble with answering these things is that it spreads your e mail to the Muppets. There was a piece on the radio today that a lot of top brands are going after E bay as they don't do enough to stop fakes being sold. I won't use it, had a very arrogant e mail from them telling me I would be blacklisted and never allowed to use thier service agin, the politest part of my answer was that my lifes to short to worry about it.

Great War truck Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 This is too good to miss, so i have asked some more questions Yes, i am very interested in buying that. What do i need to do next? When you say full service history does that go back to the date of manufacture. Also you refer to free HP. Is that the sauce that we are talking about. many thanks Norm Tim (too) :evil: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
