What do you guys think of this? Price seems way too low for the age and condition of the car. FSH and had cambelt done and DSG gearbox oil changed with decent mileage. Looks in good nick aswell. Might just need a quick sale. Doesn't look dodgy in any way tbh.

Keep looking at these as a replacement for my 1.4 TSI Scirocco next year. Maybe sooner if i get rid earlier (finances and insurance permitting).

Do you think that is the ACTUAL advert and someone has copied it and used it as a scam? Or is this whole advert just one big scam advertised all over the place at different prices? That's still cheap even though it's more than double the Pistonheads advert. My head says the latter.

The gumtree ad is over 200 days old, and withdrawn. What's odd is that there are different photos between the two ads. The gumtree one even has a photo of a totally different car...
