Have I missed something...?

classified listing, so no ebay purchase have to contact seller. another odd thing its location is stated london only, if it were a trader/dealer would give more accurate details, even a private seller would describe it better rather than v5 books mots new tax new mot. and for a 56 plate motor like that it only has ONE SET OF KEYS?

I've got lots of doubts about it too.

The photos were taken here, in Milton Keynes, if it helps. Opposite Mk T & B Centre.

The car garage next door seems to take photos of some cars in exactly the same spot. I can't see that Audi listed amongst their stock on their website. Nothing amongst their stock at that suggested value for money like the ebay listing.

joined up two days ago, what looks like a very good deal...... can only mean one thing! somebody is going to end up 3k out of pocket and without a car when the plod take it off them

I did a basic check on that plate, but a from a free site, and maybe not reliable.

This vehicle is not recorded as stolen.

More likely, if it is a scam, suckers part with their money without even seeing the car. So intent on getting value and believing promises.

(I've driven it to France as I needed to urgently see my sick elderly mother. If you pay me £3000 I'll cover the costs of shipping it over from my side.)

Yeah it's more than likely stolen with legit plates and a VIN plate attached from a write off..

it's a classified ad. They all say 'email the seller' and the ask a question bit is down at the bottom.

Well why don't you email them? Can't do any harm if it's a 'genuine' ebay add.

Absolutely, considering book price is around £6.5K

That's £8,995/£9,495 of anyone's money.

So we know he doesn't have the car to sell. It's not stolen.
He must be planning to rob whoever turns up with the money... it happens.

Anyone reported it?

If anyone falls for that, I would find it very difficult not to say, "......well.........serves you right for being a twit."
