Would anyone like a Ford Panamera 430d M-Sport?

Only £4,444, but our unique hybrid is a CAT S, I'm afraid.

Just wondering what kind of special medication is required to craft an ad of this quality.

The car in the picture has just had an MOT at 180k as well, so even the mileage is wrong.

Also, slightly surprised to learn that Porsche built a 250bhp diesel.

Just remember that the goon who posted this had to go through several steps to select Grey 2015 Ford Fiesta, then post 24 pictures of a Black 2008 Porsche (helpfully writing "PORSCHE PANAMERA" in the heading box, just in case you didn't know), before crafting a beautiful description for a Blue 2016 BMW 430d, which was apparently registered in September 2015, and probably also paid £60 to post this garbage.

I'll go for a dodgy trader that has paid for an advert until the car sells.

Rather than paying for a new advert for a new car they just change the old advert each time.

Most likely a bot I would have thought.

"Private seller" with 20 cars to sell! And he actually wanted a 007 plate instead of 008.

All the above (except MustangGT's post) assume that it was done by a human being. There's several web apps/dealer portals/etc which claim to be able to link to Autotrader, to keep adverts on a dealer's current stock control list, website and AT all in sync. And clearly, something has gone very wrong with populating the details of the title, pics and description. At least that's my guess on what's happened here.

I just prefer to imagine he's got high on weed and decided to sell his Ford Panabimmeresta 430d
