so today i was looking at 110 station wagons on ebay and a 57 plate station wagon limited edition appears for much cheapness, after a bit of digging it appears to be a scam they are advertising other folks cars from all over the country , beware. ebay item 222010617401
item is listed in cummnock but is also for sale in london, the other cars listed are all for sale spread over the country

If you have any doubts contact eBay and report it. They will investigate and take the advert down if it is a scam. You will be doing everyone a favour. I nearly got stung a couple of years ago on a VW Camper and had a very lucky escape. If its too good to be true, it probably is.

I'm sure I don't need to say this, but don't part with any money (even through eBay/paypal) until you have laid eyes on the vehicle and have satisfied yourself it genuine.

every motor listed against this person on ebay is for sale for much cheapness at least half the real value, this 110 is a special edition xs model with loads of upgrades posted elsewhere for over £20k and its listed here at 6700 don't think so, he has range rovers at 5k . I have also found a couple of his other listings advertised elsewhere for a lot more and spread all over the country, and the fact he has 60 positive feedbacks for selling bras !
I have reported the listings

Quite often find ads like that, often has loads of other items, cars boats, caravans, high value items very cheap. Usually want you to contact them directly and gives mobile number. Have reported quite a few to ebay. Always too good to be true. Found one before that had taken cars from Autotrader and listed them all on ebay at 50% buy it now, phone now must go liquidation sale, do not contact via ebay. Be aware!
