[Dirty Black]

Seems a little cheap at £12,500 'buy it now' ?

:eek:

That would be a scam

[Dirty Black]

At that price maybe he would just swap his car for mine!?! :rolleyes:

EDIT: Ok ima e-mail him and ask him wot kind of scam it is ? heh-heh

[Shuriken]

It seems suspicious that the number plates are blanked out. I know this is normal procedure but if you were selling the car surely you would them visible.

1. It won't be your car soon so what does it matter and
2. People can run any checks on the car without wasting your time.

It suggests to me that hes just nicked those pics from somewhere. Thats just my line of thinking, but I could be wrong.

I wouldn't go near cars on ebay with a barge-pole just out of principle, far too dodgy.

After I had problems last year with cloned number plates, I *always* blank out my plates when putting pics up online. Of course, it won't stop someone from picking your car out at random on the street or from phoning you to get the reg number etc -- but it does reduce the chances of someone seeing the pic and deciding thats a plate he'd like to use.
