Scam???

This seems to cheap and the name of the seller looks like malicious earning.

If it's not a scam the owner needs a lesson in how to price his/her car Rolling Eyes

Scam without a doubt, there's loads of these cheaply priced cars on ebay, normally they give an email address to contact them on as "ebay messages are not working" Whistle but as people have become wise to that its now normally a mobile number which will go straight to answer phone...

You can normally tell by the grainy low resolution pictures where they have lifted them from another site (normally auto trader)

2006 Discovery 3 TDV6 HSE Auto Buckingham BlueDiscovery 3

In my hunt - I emailed a seller yesterday off Autotrader - 5k for a clean, high spec 06 model (can it be too good to be true?) - see below his 'genuine response'........
Need that cheque book and passport as off to Norway to collect my new jeep:rolllaugh:

Hello,

My car is in very good working, mechanical and cosmetic condition, no accidents.Reg number is ve56yxa, 100.000 miles with FSH, HPI clear, Mot til 11/2014 and tax till 11/2014, I have attached pictures including the HPI check. I'm located in Trondheim, Norway as I moved here with my work 1 month ago. I'm selling because I got a new left-hand-drive car from work which is much suitable for driving around here than a rhd car. I can assist with shipping if you are not able to come and pick up. I can sell you the car for £5200 including shipping. Let me know if interested.

Regards,

Michael
