It Doesn't Add Up

Something's not right with this one, I'm sure I've seen this Freely for sale last week but was located in Scotland, West Coast around Ayr Question

United Kingdom 2013 Freelander 2 SD4 HSE Lux Auto Baltic Blue

I know Thame like the back of my hand, and I have NEVER seen houses looking like that ANYWHERE in the Town.

Sounds like a all-too-familiar doasyoulikey scam. Caveat Emptor! Foraging near Gaydon....

England 2010 Freelander 2 TD4_e XS Manual Stornoway Grey

Sounds like something to get you to enquire, I bet the car doesnt even exist, phone up and its just been sold, but he might have another just round the back?? One careful owner and 10 not so careful ones like.
Put the postcode in on street view and its nothing like that.

It's called a 'last chance scam'

I looked into a couple a while back. They should be reported to eBay.

When you contact them (outside of eBay or they won't reply) they will give you a son story about their kids having cancer or similar and needing to sell the car quick. They'll also demand payment by western union. You pay, they promise to ship the car from Spain or somewhere stupid like that as that is where you find out it is, and then nothing turns up, there'll be no more contact, and you'll find it is a hacked eBay user.

Stay clear. Mine: 2012 Golf GTI Edition 35

I wonder if it was removed by eBay or has the rogue seller seen the chatter on here and pulled it?

Well Detective Sergeant 1625253 for spotting it Thumbs Up

eBay would pull if reported.

Any advert that states to contact outside of eBay only is against their policy. Thumbs Up Mine: 2012 Golf GTI Edition 35
