Any info onniy would be greatly appreciated

 

certainly seems too good to be true. It hasn't done 1000 miles in 20 months...I bet it has some issues and maybe an odd history or something. I guess you could call them and just lay it out and say that you are prepared for some issues at that price but want to know all of the issues. Generally I find anything like that is priced to tempt our greed and when we see the car the greed (or desperate want for the bargain) helps us to overlook the rotten chassis or dubious provenance?

 

bloody cheap that if its not a scam

 

Well this is it, something doesn't seem right!

Contact with the seller has been made , but I wanted to see if anyone else could shed any light on it as well

 

keep us updated, you might be lucky and the seller just not know what they are going for currently. good luck....

 

At less than half the price it should be and more than Ł10,000 less than the next Escos on Autotrader I'd be surprised if that's not a scam, but you never know, worth a call.

 

It does seem on the cheap side, but you never know, a HPI check and a visit would sort it out.

 

Come on lads, its clearly a scam. Contact the guy and he will no doubt tell you that the car is somewhere miles away from you, but he will deliver it at his cost. Take a juicy deposit from you and disappear. If anybody seriously thought it was genuine they would be pulling tenners out of their pockets as fast as possible.

 

I have just sold my Daughters car and the number of scammers who tried to con me was unreal. This may be genuine but why would the owner be selling it so cheap. the old saying -" if it seems to good to be true it normally is " will probably apply here.

 

If this car is genuine I will, here and now, guarantee to double the buyers money within 24hrs of him / her taking possession.


Its a common scam........... post up a car that is temptingly cheap, almost too cheap. Buyer makes contact, seller and car are somewhere else in the country or overseas, seller offers to 'deliver' car after receiving a holding deposit with balance paid on delivery. Buyer cant believe his luck, congratulates himself for out manoeuvring everybody else and sends a nice chunky deposit. The same car has been on ebay and the same seller has mint 60's Mustangs for 5k. Sadly people want to believe it is true, so they fall for it.

 

Been on RSOC forum.

Looks like my money is safe ............. if it seems too good to be true, it almost certainly is.............. no matter how desperately we want it to be otherwise. I mean really, an 80k mile genuine Escos for replica money

 

Cheers for the info guys !

The seller also sent a text saying to email !

A scam was the first thing the popped into my head when I saw the ad!

 

people still falling for these scams?

 

Everyone wants something for nothing. Adverts like these are ALWAYS a scam.
