Hace unos meses mi cuñado se queria comprar un BMW en Alemania y me pidió que le ayudara, ya que él no sabe nada de alemán ni inglés, y mucho menos de comprar por internet, pero había localizado un flamante BMW en Mobile.de por poco más de 10.000€
Su gozo en un pozo, cuando le dije que el anuncio era una estafa.
Hoy mi mujer ha localizado un Audi A4 Cabrio, del año 2005, que no llega a los 9000km, por sólo 5.800€.
Cuando ha escrito al vendedor, interesandose por el coche, ha rebicido este email:
Hello
To begin, I bought this car from Frankfurt to use it for my job, and now, as I moved back to UK I can’t use it any longer because it has the steering wheel on the left, while UK requires it to be on the right.
This is why i am willing to sell it for only 5.800 euro, just to make a quick sale and buy a new car.
As you will see, this beauty not only looks new, but also, runs smoothly and has absolutely no damage or repairs necessary. This is because I used it very carefully, never crashed it, kept it in the garage all the time, done all the periodical inspections and never smoked inside.
I have all the original documents of the car, keys and manuals so you will have no problem registering and driving it in your country. The price is with TUV 16% so you will get it back after you register. The original receipt and all remaining warranty information packet with enrollment number is included for you.
I can have the car shipped at your address within about 3 days via spedition-transports-delivery UK ltd. It is a transportation company specialised in vehicle moving. I have used them before a couple of times and I was satisfied. I will pay the fees for their service so you only pay the price of the car, nothing else.
You don’t have to give any money to me, as everything will be done through spedition-transports-delivery. First of all you have to register on their website spedition-transports-delivery .
This way they will reserve the car for you and give you valuable information. You will have to pay just an advance (it was 30% last time i used the company) and they will deliver the car to your home address right away.
You will have 5 days to inspect and drive the car freely, to make sure it really is in excellent condition, and only after that you will pay the rest of 70% and I get my money.
On the other hand, if for some reason you don’t like the car, it’s very easy. You can reject it, and it will be shipped back to me on my expense.
You will get your 30% advance back immediately. A good news is that i spoke with the company, and they can also help you with the registration formalities in your country.
So i believe that we are both happy by using this method of dealing, as nobody is taking any risks. The company will be our «exchange maker» if I can say so.
If you are satisfied with my price offer, and you are 100% seriously interested in this car not just wasting time, go ahead and register with the spedition-transports-delivery company and mail me back so we can begin making the proper arrangements.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Para los que no sepan inglés (o los que quieran un resumen), el vendedor ofrece al comprador la posibilidad de recibir el coche en su pais para poder comprobar su estado antes de comprarlo, pagando él los costes, y usando una empresa de transportes especializada en mediar compras de vehículos por internet. Para que nadie corra ningún riesgo, el comprador adelanta un 30% del valor de compra del coche. Si esta satisfecho, paga el 70% restante del coche para recibir la documentación del coche. Si por lo que sea lo quiere devolver, devuelve el coche a los 5 días, y la empresa de transporte le devuelve el dinero.
Lo que se olvida de mencionar el supuesto vendedor, es que la empresa de transportes no existe, así como el coche, y que lo que busca es quedarse con nuestro dinero por la cara.
La verdad es que el gancho atrae, ¿no creeis?

Los de Mobile.de ya avisan, aunque creo que la mayoria de sus usuarios no se leen sus advertencias.
