Not too many E63's in Corby I'm guessing..... Crap pics.... Poor description, I'd expect details of exact spec... Says it's on a 16 plate but first reg'd in Dec 17

First thing I'd ask for is better quality pics and details, including pics, of service history.

£1 says they want a deposit to hold car for you due to interest....

Contact number comes back with a business owner in Corby (plus a linkedin profile, suggesting chaps been out of work for a few months) - Is the log book in his name and is he selling from that address.

Be aware he might be off loading assets that will be part of his divorce to raise cash for himself. Also check that there is no outstanding finance, before you realise he will be in Thailand with your money. Might even be owned by the business.

if the v5 is in his name and no hpi isues, then he buys in good faith anyway. His company is being liquidated so could be a issue, just make sure you check everything.
