From the ebay page -"but my aim is to sell the car and use the money to help with the floods"

Hmmmm - But how does any bidder know that the money is genuinely going to "help with the floods"?

Call me an old cynic, but I think this stinks as much as the interior of the Toledo does !!!!

"Cash on collection within 3 days of auction end" states the listing....... Hmmmmm, who will be brave/mad enough to hand over 30k + in cash huh ?

It may well be genuine, but the winning bidder would need a helluva lot of assurances that the money will be going to the charity.

A £101,100 winning eBay bid for a submerged car appears to have been a hoax.

Hubert Zajaczkowski, 21, auctioned the Seat Toledo to raise money for charity.

Mr Zajaczkowski said he contacted the bidder but he refused to pay, saying it had been intended as a joke.

The bidder was a 17-year-old boy who had been encouraged by his 12-year-old brother.

He said he had now contacted two lower bidders in the hope that their bids were genuine.

Sometimes they tell the truth when the think the camera and microphone are switched off.
