    It's got to be either an attempt at fraud or a typo on the price

    Anytime you see a "preapproved bidder's list" auction, it is certainly a scam.

    Check out the returned email. Does this spell fraud? Also I called DHL and they do not deliver cars.

    Hi ,
    Before i can add you on my pre-approve list, i wanna let you know some details about this transaction.

    The car will be shipped from Cornwall,United Kingdom & i will cover shipping fees. Since the car is shipped on a military cargo all you have to pay for this car is the BUY IT NOW price ($10.600) . Will be shipped over sea to NY, from there DHL will pick it up and you will receive it within 14 days tops.DHL will deliver the car at your door.
    The car is in perfect working condition , no damage,no scratches or dents,no hidden defects, and it is as advertised.You can see more pictures of the car here: http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/dolphindavidd/album?.dir=/39dfre2 ,will be shipped with CLEAR US TITLE.
    I work as a sergeant in the US army and i was deployted to work here in Cornwall for a while. I've brought the car here with me 1 week ago so i can drive it during my free time but i found out that i have to pay a large amount of money to register the car here, because it was purchased and registred in US and Europe emission regulations are different from US ones.
    I only go home once in 8 months, it's a shame to keep a car like this garraged for such a long time .
    If you are interested, get back to me and i'll let you know the terms of this deal.
    Thank you ,

    Man, there are so many military cars going to be shipped from Cornwall. You should reply to them that you are going to Cornwall to visit your brother next week and you can give him the money then and just take the car with you. See what his excuse is. BTW Cornwall does not exist. This was discussed on a thread several months ago.
    :D

    Of course Cornwall exists, my son was born there and is indeed there on holiday right now with his mum. Its the surf capital of th UK and is found in the south west bottom corner of the UK and is one of the nicest parts of the UK.
    I know only 30% of you Yanks have a passport and ya think the whole world is within the USA,but please you can use the net surly;) Hope you all did not think Cornwall did not exist when it was discussed months ago:( Anyways here is the link to Cornwall http://www.cornwalltouristboard.co.uk/ and famus people from Cornwall, though might not be recognised by the Yanks, but hey thats no loose the the UK:D http://www.cornwall-calling.co.uk/folklore-and-legend/famous.htm

    Thanks so much for that, you've saved me a lot of trouble!

    I was planning to go from the Southern-most tip of the UK ,Lands End in Cornwall to the Northern-most tip, John O Groats in Scotland, but as Cornwall doesn't exist I won't bother.

    PS Please inform Prince Charles of your discovery as I think he'll have a job explaining to his new wife THE DUCHESS OF CORNWALL that she doesn't exist either!

    Sorry for the confusion. More specifically the other thread said there is no American military base in Cornwall. But to be more American, there must nor be any Cornwall since I haven't heard about it on the local news. Easy boys, don't get your panties in a bunch!

    Is the Days Inn a good place to stay at Cornwall?

    Being that I am trying to keep within a total budget for your car of around $12k with taxes etc... I don't want to spend too much on lodging.
