Default S1 Stolen B950ABW Reading---Suspicious Ad on ebay

Hi guys have been looking around since reading this thread:

https://passionford.com/forum/genera...w-reading.html

And came across this suspicious advert on Ebay:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2510618500...1#ht_500wt_949

Maybe worth popping down to look at it?

Cheers Statey.

very suspicious ad. if he can supposedly afford such an expensive car, he can afford a better camera. And the lack of description makes it unusual too, it should have been in mega detail on a car that expensive.

hope the white car is found though

Strange comment, why would he buy a better camera if he spent a bit money on his car?
I've spent mega bucks on my car, and I haven't even got a camera. I just take pictures with my phone.

fair enough, i just thought at the time he would have a better photos and more photos of an expensive car. but to be fair the cars do look different. IMO

I don't think its a suspicious add if your selling a car like that only very few will be interested so you don't need to wright pages about it as the poeple who are genuine will contact you and wish to view it! Plus your not really going to sell a stolen car on ebay I dare say worst luck it will be stripped and sold as bits

not the same motor, I have been out in the one taken when a previous owner had it, it's not a standard car by any means.

If you were selling a car for 18 grand you'd take more than one pic no ?
Piss poor adverts the pair of them, either scams or the seller is a plank

Or he dosent won't messers bothering him as he knows someone who is going to be after that sort of car for that sort of money is not going to care about what the advert says or a few pics as they will come see the car in person!
