Re: scam !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've seen that car before with those pictures, don't recall where.

How do you know it's a scam, apart from the low price?

Re: scam !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ah yes - I remember this car.

From memory it was actually advertised on this site at the beginning of this year and the owner claimed (and may have been) a GWOA member. Then he was based somewhere near Leicester/Nottingham. After a while it went on to Pistonheads but they removed it when I reported a possible scam as it was claimed the owner was in the Far East and dealings would have to be done with his "brother" who also "owned a G". Then it went onto eBay and apparently sold - I think for just over £7,000. After that it  appeared on Autotrader for a LOT of money.

Now it's back again.

Have attached an image of the VIN plate that the owner sent me at the time - in case it helps.

Re: scam !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Funnily enough on one of the Land Rover forums I frequent, there was a silver 90 this morning that was a scam on pistonheads.

 

Apparently PH is rife with scams but the admin aren't too bothered.

 

Buyer beware!!

Re: scam !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Another example of if not a scam a very misleading advert

 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mercedes-Benz-G36-AMG-G-Wagon-/121421305083?pt=Automobiles_

this is not a G36; AMG did make a G36 but they did not use this engine, this is the single cam 3 litre engine with a tacky badge

Re: scam !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

F11 AMG, I just purchased this car last friday from Car dealer from Sheffield. It has an LPG conversion. Its done about 180,000. There was stamped dealer history upto 120,000 and than the speedo had been changed so it showed 60,000. I drove to London and have been using it every day since last friday. Besides rear wiper being missing, mirrors and central locking not working. The car drives fine. If there is any problems anyone is aware of please let me know. As I am going to have the interior done in leather and a complete re-spray. The private number has been removed.Any help welcome. Many thanks.

Re: scam !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just replying to your PM you have my number.

I remember when I advertised in on PH last year that my ad was hacked the contact details were changed and hence the typical ad of send us your money/shipping costs, I will ship it, I am a pilot or doctor...usual BS.  

You will also see numerous ads like this on Autotrader as they stick out like a sore thump as a top notch say M power BMW going normally for say £12k would be keenly offered for £10k...even my closest friend who is a car trader for 20 years got hooked before I pulled him back.

Re: scam !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi , i bought this car a few weeks ago, its been driven daily. with no problem as yet, only that it does have rust and a few bits missing like the rear wiper. The lpg is useless but it makes the Road Tax cheaper.
