Price seems good though (providing that it is supercharged).

He's now posted some pictures of the car.

Its just a standard supercharged VXR, not a VXR500, no AP's fitted..

Still, if its not a scam its a fair price IMHO.

It doesn't have to have AP's to be a 500, but the badges are all wrong. At least they've taken that stupid claim of "48 of 50", out of the ad.

Just email ebay security and tell them he is trying to defraud buyers, that usually works.

I've just done the same but I didnt hold back as much as it sounds like you did. Lets see what sad responce I get. I will then report him for mis advertising and advise him so!

There was a similar car advertised on this website a couple of weeks ago for £19999-is this the same car?

I'd be interested to hear what he has to say, he's probably getting a bit annoyed now, oh well he shouldn't be miss-advertising it then...

Advert says type "VXR 500" into google.
So if you do, the first hit is a pistonheads review of it. Now, if someone was to replie to that thread with a link to this thread.....

Give the VIN to Paul at Wortec he will confirm either way.

Its just a badge at the end of the day anyway. IMO there is no other difference other than one being "official" is that worth any more or less than one with the same identical parts? Who knows.
