Hi Guys,
Was looking around yesterday for an M3 forum and came across this advertisment. It's for a 2004 SMG M3 in silver grey with red nappa.

The car has only 12600 miles. How much do you think? 38k? 36k? 34k? Nope. £15,000.

The word 'dodgy' springs to mind.

Is it :-
a) A typo
b) Nicked
c) A write off (pics taken prior to stuffing it)

Check the link to see :-

Incidentally, I tried posting this topic on TyreSmoke and it was removed twice. Hoping that PistonHeads may be more interested!!!

Has got to be something wrong with it. One of those for £15000 would be sold within seconds.

They'd probably list it to get loads of calls/contacts and then say "that one's gone sir, but we've got ..... blah, blah, blah".

Guarantee's more calls than an ad for £30k doesn't it?

Could also be a scam with "We need a credit card deposit to hold the car...."

Looks like he's selling the same one on e-bay, only this time it's done 25k miles!

And that's about the third one he's advertised in about the same number of weeks.
