As you well know, if it looks too good to be true then it probably is.

For sale privately, but photographed on what looks to be an industrial estate. That's enough to make me wonder who's selling it and why.

"Hello James, sorry for mailing you so late!
Thank you for inquiring about my 2005 ASTON MARTIN V8 VANTAGE. The car has been well taken care of, always kept in the garage and it has only 38,788 miles. It has no damage, no scratches or dents, no finance. It have all the papers and documents and it is in immaculate condition, meticulously maintained and hasn't been involved in any accident.
The price is £ 14,400 including the shipping to your home address. The car is registered in United Kingdom. I bought it when i was serving in RAF United Kingdom but i was promoted and transferred to RAF Gibraltar for a 5 years period, therefore I need a fast and reliable buyer. The car is already at our Military Logistic Department from RAAF, crated and ready to go, I've arranged the shipping and the papers transfer anywhere in United Kingdom and the delivery will take approx 3 to 7 working days (with 7 days return policy). The shipping will be free of charge for you because I will transport it using the internal logistic department.
The sale will be managed only through eBay since they offer the highest rate of safety and reliability during online transactions, and only after you will receive the car, I will receive the payment; this way we are both 100% protected.
To start the transaction I just need a firm decision if you want to buy this or not and your complete name and shipping address. After that you will receive an invoice from eBay Motors that will tell you all the details you need to know about our transaction and also will give you the choice to proceed or not with the deal.

Kind Regards,
Lt. Anthony Marchmont"

They don't have LTs in the RAF or even the RAAF, only Flight LTs.

I smell a rat.

When the advertiser gives too much background it's because he is trying to build your trust.
