I've just spotted this on eBay and it surely should be around the £8K mark. Is it too good to be true?!

With that mileage, yes, that looks too good to be true....having said that, there is a while left to bid.

It's not an auction. I'd say it's dodgy if they are worth twice the price.

My bad, just assumed was on auction.

Defo well under market....you'd be looking at a WRX with higher mileage for that price

I spotted this last week and alarm bells rang for some reason. It seems a genuine enough ad, decent pics showing reg no etc but surely the vendor knows what the market value is.


Even Cat D's go for more than that.

It was only a few years ago that that sort of price would have been normal frown

Just look in the classifieds, 14 plates going for over £25k, a year and a half and less that 4 grand depreciation? That's unheard of for a production car!

I'm blaming the cheap(er) petrol driving

Cheers all, a bit of an odd one and the usual alarm bells were ringing for sure. I still sent him a message to enquire but I haven't had any reply anyway! Might just be a dodgy phishing ad.
