He's trying to cash in , manual sprint $ 65k my mate has ordered one $500 deposit , so 71k trying to cash in before he has to outlay 65k which he might not have or can not get , in which case he will loose his deposit and dealer will sell car probably at 70k + anyway..

What person in their right mind would commit to $70k plus on the strength of that ad. Either a scam or just plain ridiculous.

Ask for the dealership contact details and go from there. Easy!

Maybe it's not sold. The seller might have realised what he was trying to do was somewhat dubious.

Or he had to fly out for his job on an oil rig......

Why else would the title read:
"Ford FGX 2016 FG X XR8 SPRINT MANUAL BRAND NEW SUITE FPV"

Can't see why not. Guy selling car buys cars, then sells it 1 minute after he picks it up.

No different to selling a car that's unwanted except the guy is selling his for profit.

No different to people buying this car to store it and sell later on in years for a profit.

I did not see the add as its gone so I am assuming the above.
