So, what's the scam?

[sherman]

A dealer that works off of 2 mobile numbers and no land line and no website link. Run away. Quickly.

I know its a scam... It says 55 plate and the car has an 06 plate. I just don't get what anyone has to gain by putting that add up though...

Would love that car at that money though.

I guess they'd ask for a deposit then leg it with your money; car never materialises etc.

Suppose. You'd have to be a bit of a mug to go for that though...

Are those phone numbers not firstly, a mobile, and secondly, one of the "phone safe" numbers for landlines???

Anyone called them yet??

The car is in italy and we will deliver it to you once you have paid.

You pay

No car arrives

Yep, but you'd have to be a bit of a mug to enquire about a car so suspiciously cheap in the first place!

[trickywoo]

Is it really that cheap?

£1,900. 150k miles.

Say it needs tyres and brakes and is a bit scruffy and the trader doesn't take an offer? Seems about right for a quick sale.
