Is that actually a JDM import?
Just spotted this nice looking blue Motgei that's taking my interest as its actually pretty close to me. It needs to shift on price quite a bit but it has potential.
It's listed in the description as an import but it has UK bumpers and I don't remember JDM cars having the Motgei kit? Maybe I'm wrong.
Also the Mot has the distance registered as 156k miles and it was first registered in 1999 which I assume is when it was first registered in the UK?
All seems a bit odd to me
Any opinions would be appreciated as I'm not too knowledgeable about imports!

I've sent them a message but as the 4WS doesn't work, the chassis has multiple advisories for corrosion, the fact it's done very few miles in the last few years (on top of the high mileage) and the fact that it's up for a steep price means I'm not holding my hopes out for it. Still a project is what I was looking for so we'll see!
Still we'll soon find out if its dodgy because they'll soon tell me to **** off or ignore me

That whole advert stinks.
ebay user name seems dodge, previously sold watches only , low feedback score - perhaps a bought ebay account or partners (older accounts with positive feedback are available for sale, i was contacted to sell mine on more than one occasion).
recent MOT suggests they've acquired it as MOT failure, found sympathetic MOT place, tarted up for the listing and trying to turn a big profit for not much effort or work having been done (whilst lying about the mileage and deception over the car itself). check out all the polishing overspray/spatter on the black engine parts - what my car looked like after i did the headlights... 2 tone bonnet spoiler?
Other things i noticed - keys not on a bunch, so its not like it 'belonged' to someone or still in use. Some rude boy red focus reflection in the background - not juding ford owners, but its not a genuine ad for sure.
dont press buy it now without contacting me - not something someone would put unless they were used to selling shyte on ebay then have angry buyers turn up - probably got another account selling crap and bad feedback to match. The only people who put things like that are people who know whats likely to happen.
I'd avoid regardless of the price - simply because of the negative vibes from the ad/seller - just not a genuine car.
