Somethings's not quite right here.

Does anyone recognise this car or its surroundings?



Ebay auction

Buy it now for £5k and the auction has just under two days to go. My instinct tells me its a scam but some people are actually bidding on it..

Clearly false advertising.. there is no rear spoiler to be seen

Then someone's gonna be out of pocket

There has been a lot of scams involving the Astra VXR on Ebay, so perhaps they have now moved onto Monaro's.

The colour of the text just gives it away. Maybe they forgot a number 1 somewhere.

[CatherineJ]

Hmmm the spec doesn't stack up.

4wd and a towbar??????

Also it says it was registered in May 04 and yet the warranty expires July 2007.

[OLYC]

obvious scam, the whole ask questions through this not ebay direct, thats a hijacked account. Loads of it around, just do cars listed by lowest price first and you'll see tonnes of £0.01 cars with buy it now prices well under trade in their subtitles but no ebay buy now option. All follow this same scheme.

Since when did the Monaro have Xenons and ESP??Can't remember those items in the spec.

The tow-bar is well concealed in the pics as well

Oh it’s a Scam all right.


It’s my f'ing car. I just bought it last week, must say it put the shits up me for a moment but on reflection I HPI'd the car and checked with Vauxhall prior to parting with the cash + I actually have the car.

I have also contacted the chap who sold it to me and he is as shocked.

I might have some fun with the eBay seller.

[chrisb0]

Just sent an email to the chap expressing an interest in the car, I will post his reply.
I wonder if we could think up a reverse scam to play on him.

Any suggestions?

Chris

Book 'em Danno

Say you want to come and see the car.... Take a few BIG lads with you and give him a good shoe'n....

Then drag his ass to the local nick

[BO55 VXR]

....and remember to turn up in your car... the car he's suppose to be selling

[BO55 VXR]

Well, its gone now...

[chrisb0]

Not a bad idea but I was thinking of something a little bit more subtle than that.
