Too good to be true?

[D4MJT]

Whats the deal with this chap then?

http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/list.asp?d=11298

I've been looking at 730d's, and he has a car which should retail for around £16k for £6,800, not to mention a few other suspect cars.

Low / no description, and all the photo's seem to be taken in different locations, but he's also got a few cars up under a trade name in the classifieds? Are they repo's, or is he just a scammer?

Seems like a scammer, those cars seem too good to be true. A Merc M Class, new look under £10k with that mileage? Steer clear of them.

That's exactly what I thought, email contact only etc, just thought I'd ask as well.

The old saying rings true again lol.

Nice one, I wasn't sure how to go about that, what's the process?

[hornetrider]

Its really complicated. You look on the advert and click the 'report' link.

When is he sending the car using his trusted shipping agent?

Did you really have to ask OP?

It's a scam, please don't go any further.

We'll get the account removed and I apologise for having this type of ad on PistonHeads. It will disappear shortly.

Not really, I was just curious tbh, as he had more than one listed etc.
