If things look too good to be true they are normally too good to be true.
Tell your friend to do their own homework. Looking at that advert it is being marketed at 50% of value. Look at https://www.parkers.co.uk/vans/prices/land...arplate=73 Scammers work on peoples greed, getting a good deal mentality without people doing their own homework. It took less then 30 seconds to check the value, so why is it so cheap??? Edited to add that FE53DXZ is taxed, mot and insured Brendan |

Exactly don’t believe it’s true for a second, told him to raise it as a fraudulent Post.
Put it on here to see if anyone recognises the Land Rover in the image, I reckon the reg has been added to the photos afterwards. NB Seller posted the ad from Chelsea but told my friend the vehicle is in South West. |

Definitely a scam, the vehicle appeared again on Gumtree. Enquiry generated an eBay link to pay for the Defender, clicking of the eBay address bar showed the link to be to vppayments.motors@europe.com
Once ‘seller’ was challenged all correspondence stopped. Gumtree and eBay alerted and I thought I should post something here. |

You don't even have to be a Defender aficionado to realise that it's worth a lot more than £4,000. Unfortunately there are people out there who still haven't grasped the fact that if it's too good to be true............................. Defender 90XS SW

It's on the DVLA System, and owned by someone...
as stated it's probably below 50% if its true value, so it is very unlikly that the true owner is selling it. walk away... Click image to enlarge SKIP https://www.defender2.net/forum/topic83242.html |
