Am I missing something here?
found this on facebook and it seems rather cheap even if it was a manual,
MOT is good ... so come on what have I missed?

Yes, almost certainly a scam. There are a lot on facebook. I suspect if you look around you will see the same car sold in different locations. There is another one that is bright blue for similar silly money.

On this one it has the garage logo in the pictures, exept the advert shows it is woking but the dealer is in cornwall.

I suspect the scam is to get your interested, ask for a deposit to hold it then disappear but I could be wrong. FL2 2007 2.2d Auto SE. Baltic Blue.

by the way, does this look familar.....

Almost certainly it is gumtree advert the scammers got the details from. FL2 2007 2.2d Auto SE. Baltic Blue.

well spotted, although I have no intention of actually going for it,
not with my own sailing though MOT's and being so dam good.  DAVE.

No actual details about the car, just a cut and paste from the brochure listing every feature 🤔. Think I'll message about it just for the fun! Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948

1963 Surf blue Morris Mini Minor Super de Luxe (my little toy)

In our current society it seems that fraud or attempted fraud has become a 'respectable crime'. Every online marketplace I am aware of is littered with bogus sales of used motor vehicles for many thousands of pounds, the worst thing that appears to happen to the fraudsters is the adverts are removed after being reported.
Our local newspaper publishes long lists of magistrates court convictions - many motoring offenses, shoplifting, assault etc but I cannot recall seeing any convictions on the lists for online or telephone fraud.

I read about this Brego Advert Checker in Autocar.

https://check.brego.io/

It seems it scans the car ads for other cars and compares prices and then advises if it thinks it is a scam.

Brego are a firm that do car checks and valuation. FL2 XS SD4 Auto 2010 2012-2017 (21k - 91k miles) (MY2011)
FL2 Metropolis SD4 Auto 2014 2017- (16k - 79k+ miles) (MY2015)
Metro in its 11th Year of (Extended) LR Warranty / Full LR Service History
(Expensive, but Trouble/Worry free - hopefully?)

That’s a good link. Thank you Ian.
Interesting results when you look up the FL in the Facebook ad.

The eBay listing no longer exists.
That may tell you something. Now at the point when I learn something new something old is lost out the other side !
Now retired so it doesn't matter anymore.
Freelander now gone.

ref: "The eBay listing no longer exists"

So the crime of attempted fraud has gone away - case closed? I am sure that if the crime was attempted bank or ATM robbery it would not be closed.
