That'll be this one, then? Only beige Custom I know of. Some sellers will just assume that all messages in English (or an obvious Google Translated text) are probably from scammers, unfortunately.

Ford Sierra 1.3 Custom 1982

 

That’s the one. I had one of the Mum’s from school translate into perfect Dutch for me (she is a Dutch National) explaining how I was ready to book a ferry and pay a large deposit - still nothing. Just one of those things I guess!

Maybe the Dutch have their equivalent of the "cash tonight m9" knuckle-draggers as well.

A pair of CF projects which need to be gone by the end of the week:

How is he allowed to list them as "Free" when the text of the listing clearly says he wants a grand for them?  It's probably not a bad deal, but honestly, how many people actively and specifically want a CF?  I can think of one.  And that bloke has neither money nor facilities.

'Tis the way Farcebook Marketplace works* - the algorithms and coding are truly shite. It can't cope with mileage, for example, so renders it as kilometres. 

Not even possible to put up a "wanted" advert properly, as their coding demands you put a fixed price even on that.

So much for progress.

eBay may be a mess now, but arguably still better* than Farcebook. Better the devil you know.

If they can do it to my parents oul Jetta GL - and they definitely did, irreversibly - they can do it to this GTi.

Cars like that Jetta are beloved over here. The worst that’s likely to happen to that if it stays in NI is a bit of lowering and some BBS splits being fitted.
