Link not working - if it's the T5 in Portugal then it's a scam.

1st post? hmm, are you the seller?

eta - that's the one, just google the reg if you can still see it and look at the results.

No I am certainly not the seller just intrigued as to why this was so cheap and what the scam is.
Its been removed now so I guess it was a scam.

My friend saw it on Autotrader a few weeks ago, got quite excited and as he travels for work, offered to go to Portugal & pay cash for it - the seller then went quiet.

He made a note of the reg & Googled it, this vehicle came up as a scam together with a VW Jetta with a similar advert story.

Was it this one:
