sounds to cheap for a real one !

Really cheap, looks like it shouldn't be.

The seller hasn't sold a single thing on EBay before?

Smells like a scam to me, if it looks too good to be true..............

I've reported it to ebay and let the dealer know.

We've had it done with some of our stock, they crudely hacked off the watermark from our pics, but failed to photoshop out the logo on our paper mats in the footwells.

But what's the point of that scam ? It's not as if you would pay online for the car (it's an eBay classified, not an auction).

They'll send you either bank details or western union details to transfer a deposit. You'll not see the money again.

Why do scammers choose these unusual cars as the basis of their scams. Surely they know they'll be dealing with someone who's done the research and knows a cars value?

If anyone wanted to carry out a successful scam, wouldnt it be better to choose a more common car such as a BMW 5 series for circa £30k, grab an image off Google, price it £1500 below market price. Get some interest, someone clicks 'buy', take a 10% deposit then vanish?
