anyone else think this could be a scam?

[turbopete]

sent the seller an email to see what they come back with but at this price, there must be something amiss with it surely?

im not a fan of silver or auto boxes, but if legit, even i would be tempted at that price!

A seller with no ratings and can "arrange finance"?

Also has put engine size is 3500. When it should be 2987cc

When it smells like it then it generally is. Might be 100% legit. But £7.75k i wouldn't take the risk.

Or i'd at least buy it on a credit card so i had some protection.

 

[turbopete]

im not planning to buy. i cant get credit cards etc at the moment anyhow BUT im curious to what the sellers response will be

The means of communicating is odd as well.

Of course it's a scam

FULL ECONOMIC BLUE EFFEMINACY , 350 POWER FULL . lol

Nigerian special

 

[Boxbrownie]

At that price.........it's a hook, an obvious one!

somehow though some of the terminology doesnt sit right with me. all taxes paid? what taxes (except road tax) as any others would be paid when the car was new. and all papers in order?

the address is convincing, although a shame the car is advertised as being in Glasgow, but they give the british airways address in London!

Is it a BA company car being sold?

Why use the headquarters address of BA for a personal sale?
