Surely this has to be a con...

[Bash Brannigan]

Well 'specked' Aston Martin 'Vontage' kept in a 'headed' garage...

http://pistonheads.com/sales/2934888.htm

[StottyZr]

Meant to say heated garage. I know they are listed for less than £35000 on 06 plates so I can't see why this wouldn't be genuine!

[jamesson]

I wouldn't say it's a con, just because the seller spells like a spacker.

[GroundEffect]

It's amazing how someone so deficient in basic education can have the money for such a car.

[Bash Brannigan]

It's the combination of shpeshul shpelling and, very professional photos and the 'selling on behalf of a friend' that just doesn't sit quite right.

[TheStoat]

Good use of random SHOUTING too! Also it is not a supercar although I do think they are super cars in general....

"JUST 1700 MILES ALMOST DELIVERY MILEAGE"

Seriously? I'd be cheesed off if some delivery bod turned up with my car and tried to persuade me his 1,000+ miles jolly was normal delivery mileage!

[MacW]

He also mispelt "inarticulate" in the advert header

Draw!

[CypherP]

Every time I see someone use the phrase 'fully kitted out' in an advert, it makes me want to reach through the screen and punch them in the face.

Seems like a good price, although I'd have my reservations about it too. Particularly if his friend owns an Aston Martin Vontage but isn't able to own/use a computer/internet capable phone to upload his own advert.

"I am selling this car on behalf of a friend. " - There's your answer...

I don't know how anyone can stand their constant squab-bling

No it isn't! I know someone who is so severely dyslexic he can not read nor write. He runs (and has run for the last 30 years) a most profitable business!

Indeed, not to mention the many footballers, z-list celebs, salt of the earth travelling types - plenty of cash but not necessarily well educated.

"Full Comprehensive Leather bound book pack including service book"

That sold it to me. Never buy a car with just a standard, peasant spec service book!

Or even people who are very clever, and educated highly, but are just not articulate.

[IainT]

With respect to the seller but

"THIS TOP OF THE RANGE SUPER CAR IS THE ULTIMATE DRIVING MACHINE AND IT COMES FULLY KITTED OUT AND HAS ALL THE EXTRAS YOU WOULD WANT."

Really?

It's neither top of Aston's range nor top of the range of cars eligible to be called a super car. It's possibly not the ultimate diving machine either.

That would be a white lotus Esprit, surely?

What a spacker ad!

Look at the odd use of capital letters also.

Clearly written by someone of the Facebook generation!

[tercelgold]

Searching for the mobile number he/she does a lot of car sales, mostly old bangers on ebay and other sites (under a lot of different account names).

The last feedback on one account says "Never trust HOME CAR TRADERS pretending to be PRIVATE SELLERS. NETVER TRUST"

http://feedback.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFe...

Edit: why would anyone buy this privately when big dealers have them at the same price or cheaper?
