Bargain or scam ?
I fancy getting another 90 and spotted this one a few days ago, it seems too cheap to be true for what is claimed to be a low mileage tidy motor Confused

Still listed for sale after several days though, if genuine I would have thought it would be snapped up, and if not I expect it to have been reported and removed Confused

I suppose you could phone the seller and see what he says.

Not altogether unusual but the phone number is wrong for the supposed location. Alarm bells on standby.

According to the DVLA the reg is correct for the vehicle shown. It's not taxed, but the MOT is valid until Jan 2016.

Price is definitely half of what it should be though...!

Cheers

Scam! My v6 Clio was cloned after I listed it on ebay, they just copied the advert completely and listed it for a fraction of the price. It's worth reporting, to stop somebody a little less 'bright' from being ripped.

I was pretty sure I'd already made my mind up on this one, I was just curious to see other peoples views on it.

I've reported it to eBay now as a possible scam.

Edit; I've just checked back on eBay and it's no longer for sale Wink
