Here's what i got back after enquiring about LR on Gumtree, I had seen vehicle for sale at a dealership website for about ?13K, they had just lifted photos and description and put it on Gumtree. I contacted dealer and let them know, they contacted Gumtree and it vanished from site within minutes, I still followed up email to see what they would come up with next.
"Thanks for taking a part of your time and visiting my ad Land Rover Defender 90 Tomb Raider County Station Wagon.
I sell it at this price (GBP 3,800) due to a change in circumstances of health I have had sciatica for 6 months and it impossible for me to drive it.I am also financially strapped due to medical bills, and in rapid need of this sale.This vehicle is in excellent working conditions, no scratches, flaws or any kind of damage, slightly used in 100% working and looking conditions and comes with a clear title.The vehicle has 73,000 miles.This vehicle may be purchased with money back guarantee.In summary you are permitted to buy and drive this vehicle for 5 days or 500 miles. If you don?t want the vehicle, you can return it to me for a full money refund!From the begining you have to know that for the payment I request only secure pay, I prefer the payment to be done using eBay services.
It is simple and is great for both parties so that any lack of trust is eliminated.I will wait your answer(if you are interested to buy) very soon.
Have a better than expected day!"
and follow up after I asked for more info
"Hi again,
The car is already at the shipping company in Rome,Italy sealed and ready for the shipping.
The transaction will be fully under eBay's surveillance, giving us both security and insurance that nothing will go wrong. They will be the 3rd, objective party involved in the transaction. This way you will actually pay for the car after you will receive and test it, because eBay will hold the funds in an escrow account and release it to me only after you accept and confirm the delivery. After the car reaches your address you will have 5 days to test it. Within this period you have to decide if you purchase it or not. If you decide to take it you will have to contact eBay and let them know that, so they can release the payment to me. If you won't like it you will have to ship it back to me within the 5 days and eBay will refund you. The shipping back will be done on my own expense, but I am sure this will not be the case.
If you decide to buy the car ,please include the following information in your next email.
1. Ship to name and address ( the complete name and address of the person receiving the car ).
2. Motor vehicle registration name and address needed for title transfer, this would be your complete name and physical address (or if the car is to be registered on someone else's name the name and address of the registrant is needed).
Please get back to me at your earliest convenience."
Aye, that'll be shinin' bright!
