What is weird is I phoned to verify and the women who answered the phone told me there is no car for sale.
Not content with that I got a work colleague to ring and it went into answer phone this was Wednesday
Just now I've had a text from my mate to say its for sale.
All a bit odd maybe genuine but must be the cheapest Vantage out there.
It's a Nottingham phone number I can take a look if anyone is genuinely interested.

Oddly, someone asked my on Thursday about a Vantage that his mate is interested in. 2007, 60k miles, wrapped: £22k. Erm, £22k ? I've yet to find out any more details.

Interesting, a very similar car appeared in the Gloucestershire Echo this week, three adverts three different prices (by a couple of quid) and three different phone numbers, one local number.

I have the sellers email address so I don't think it's a scam on those lines

I can't work out what the scam is but, after a quick google, it is definitely a scam of some sort:

The same car and number are listed in multiple locations.

Definitely a scam. How do I know? I bought the car from a dealer in Kent last week (no relation to advert) Obviously for over double the asking price listed. 2 previous owners, Just had new clutch Lancaster Sevenoaks. 40k miles. Lovely car all round.

That's told us 3 times!
Can't see the point of the scam those adverts in all those papers must be paid for in advance.
