What do you think? It's a scam, easily identified by the low price and the seller's insistence on being emailed outside the AT system. There's no car.

that's what I am expecting - emailed from a throw away address 'can you get me a couple?'

these scams are all over autotrader.

basically you contact them and they will read out a script that goes something like "this is a very nice car, no scratches or dust guaranteed, only selling because i am abroad in Spain but i can ship the car over to you through a third party. just pay me first (so that i can have the last laugh)"

avoid anything on autotrader with an email address printed on the photos. you will notice that they stole the photos from someone elses advert to make it look genuine with visible number plates etc.
