Something doesn't seem quite right? Too good to be true?

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 it sounds too good to be true, it often is!

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!

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!

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...

Really ??!!
