yaaaay, i'm glad this has happened to someone else, i sold a Cerbera a couple of months ago, only to have the next car listed using exactly the same terminology and layout as my advert, just with the minor details altered to suit.
I was quite annoyed that my few hours of research and careful word-simthery had been copied so blatently but after a while i took it as a bit of a compliment really.
What really pi**ed me off, was the fact that his sold 3 weeks before mine.

Can go one better, some lazy bar steward trader who got their hands on my RS6 last year used the same photos in AutoTrader that i'd used when i sold it privately. Thus the car was pictured outside my house.

To be fair when i tackled Autotrader they removed the advert straight away.

There's something odd with these two adds, featuring some of same photos?

2nd one looks fine to me.

1st one is distinctly dodgy. Engine bay is wrong, key is wrong, photo's copied from elsewhere etc.....
