On ebay

I hope to F it is a scam or our cars are almost worthless.

..........it's a scam.......

If you need to sell, but are not in the country due to moving overseas, then you just arrange that the local dealer sells it on your behalf (and he gets a small commission).

I'll take 2.

Looks like a hijacked account - probably should be reported to eBay before some poor sap pays £6K for a phantom car.

The Ad says doncaster, ebay says Oxford for the location
Would not answer ebay enquires only emails direct to mr Jones' private email account

I think it will turn out to be £16000 and he'll blame a typo  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Reported

...this offer is fine, I just made contact.

All I need to do is wire transfer over GBP 6000, and then he will drive the car over to me.

He wasn't the slightest bit phased that I live in Denmark !

So, I'm going wire the money & take tomorrow off work - wouldn't want to miss him when he turns up !

....funny, he just accepted an offer of £5500 from me in Norway  2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.
Stornoway Grey with Ebony Black Pleather, Clear Indicators, Body Side Mouldings etc.

Since he's driving it to you anyway ask him if he accepts payement on delivery .

I't sot from Liverpool, is it? I'd worry if I was from Manchester

This is the reply I got froim the seller to an enquiry,

i would like you to know that the car is in excellent condition - inside and outside, mechanical and electrical. i will be shortly, as I have many inquiries: UK specs, UK plates, UK supplied, no liens and condition like new! there is no catch here, the price is real, the only reason why we are selling the car is that we have moved house in Madrid, Spain and we would like to buy a new left hand drive van. i would rather sell the car than put in storage (which is still a valid option). The car is stored in a warehouse in London and it will be shipped from there. The full price is 6,000 pounds with shipping costs included. The transaction will be done through eBay for our own protection. Your funds will be 100% insured by eBay and I will be sure that I will receive the payment, this way both of us will start the deal with good faith so we can take it to a smooth end. After the payment is cleared and confirmed by eBay i will ship you the car in no time. You will have 10 days from the time you receive the car to inspect it and decide if you want to keep the car or not. Once the car arrives if you find it different then i describe it you will be refunded by eBay and you wont lose nothing. If you are interested in buying it please provide me your full name and shipping address so I can initiate the deal through eBay.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
kind regards,
darren jones

AND, when I questioned things and mentioned that forum members had their suspicions,

I am not interested in FL2 forum i want to do this deal JUST through ebay, and i cannot accept cash on collection because i am in Spain or if you want you can come in Spain to meet me, i can give you an address.
If you want to buy the car we can do it just through ebay.
Thanks.

I am off to sunny sunny Spain, La viva la Spania! Yep, that will be right!

Don't think that Ebay will hold your money until the end of the transaction...

Secondly for that price he should be able to easily find a friend to sell it to, unless of course he has no friends

The other possibility is that the car does actually exist, it's just stolen? You might even receive an FL2 for £6K but I think you'd be giving it to the police shortly after.
Maybe we'll never find out for sure, but one certainty is that the seller is crooked.

Ask if a "policeman" friend who works in london can go inspect the car on your behalf before you proceed  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Has any body contacted CG Enterprise's see if they can price match the deal

Should give it a go! Don't ask, don't get!

I like the idea of going to Spain with the cash and getting mugged there rather than getting a car. I get a cold shiver just thinking about it. Oh, the pain!

CG Enterprise's can supply any number of fl2's for that kind of money. send the cash first and I will source a car for you At work
