Congrats,
I was 100% sure it was a scam as well based on the dodgy photos. 1 less now in Ireland but we won't hold that against you.
It has an aftermarket exhaust, I remember seeing pics when Colin the PO bought it first.

The car was up on done deal for €30000 and he had told my mate that went to look at it first that a guy that already had a D and wanted another - he said he had an offer of 24500 - when I called him on the phone the day before I went to view it - I explained that it would take 2 weeks to raise the money - he said if that was the case the lowest he would accept would be 27000 euro - so I said I would view it anyway - once we met and I seen the car he seemed keen to sell and said 25500 would seal the deal - I said I would match the 24500 - he agreed - I think with bank transfer fees and current exchange rate it works out at 22350 ! - looks like a bit of cosmetic work and a good look at chassis and it's sorted - hopefully I've made the right choice - probably cheapest around recently
