Hi All,

 

Just joined, see new introductions.

 

Has anybody any information on the 300GSD in this advert, seems to good to be true but even if it needed work it might be worth looking at????

http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/mercedes-benz/g-class/mercedes-benz-g-class-3-0-300-gds/4920159

Thanks for any advice.

Well, it's not the only G on there of that age, so the owner must be aware of prices.

Looks nice and tidy and relatively low mileage.

I suspect it's the ol "car in storage owner is abroad bullshit"

You won't be able to view it but they can deliver if you transfer the money.

It's apparently had 84,000 miles for the last year and been advertised as being in Cambridgeshire, Lutterworth, Bottesford, Dorset, Saltash...

Actual MOT expires on 6 JULY 2016, and not Feb 2016 or even Feb 2015, as written.

Re: Spotted on Pistonheads - 300GSD

LOL

Arnie,. that is a catologue of scams!!!

If the vehicle is as described it true value is 3 to 4 times the listed price

Even what the Somerset guys would describe as scrap with rotten rear chassis etc would be closer to the £3k mark in reality

Stay well away!

Re: Spotted on Pistonheads - 300GSD

The devil in me took over and I emailed the seller!! Yes it is the usual scam but I enjoy playing the scumbags along for a few days before telling them what I hope happens to them in the future . See the attached.....

Hi,

  First of all I want to thank you for your interest for my car. I've almost  reached an agreement with a potential buyer. Unfortunately, it looks like there  are some problems and he doesn't have all the money to pay, for the moment. It is in extremely good condition,100% HPI  Clear, full service history. Currently I am on a business trip to France and will  have to stay here for about 6 months (this is why I am selling the car for a low  price and I am looking for a fast sale to finance the Italian project ). I left the car in APR Transport custody and they  will handle the sale for me. The V5 log book is already signed on my behalf, the car will come with 2 keys, all service records and previous MOT's. APR Transport will deliver the car directly to your home address and I will  pay all delivery expenses.
  If you are interested in purchasing the car just let me know and I will give you more details on how the transaction will take place.

  Thank you
