It seems like a scam. They probably will say the vehicle is london but owner is in somewhere else in europe and asking for payment etc etc.

If interested worth a look but looking at feedback it's about him buying items not selling.

Car looks good but has tow bar on and he has been buying bits for a Honda civic and other cars, i wondered if may be trading ? or just used X5 for towing cars?

Would be worth asking or they may just be in need of quick sale.

There's a lot of detail in the add for a scammer, they normally have about 1 line of writing and 0 feedbacks, could it be someone who genuinely wants a fast sale? Value it on wbac and if they value higher its a scam, if lower it could just be someine desperate!

Let me know if there is anything else you would like to know about it!

The buy it now price is £4,500. I didn't list it as an auction because I'm looking for a quick sale and not to obtain a better price, so first come first served...

What is your email address? I want to send you more photos and I can't through eBay ... I want you to be 100% sure that you want to buy it before we continue . Also I would like you to know that I won't deal outside eBay, I would prefer to use their services in this sale!

Cheers

And a follow up:

It's me again.. Here is also my email address : Censored just in case!

Contact me directly on it if you want more photos & details on how to complete the sale.
I am very busy , I travel alot and I won't be able to send you a fast reply through eBay. I have an Iphone and when I receive a message in my Gmail inbox I can answer ASAP !!


I did ask where in London he was if I could have a look around, but he didnt respond to that...
