    i would have thought it was a typo, or they would have made a bigger deal of it.

    Reckon it's 75000, they do like making these typo's to catch peoples interests..... Once you enquire, they lay down the sales patter.

    But that's two typo's, one in the title, and one in the description. Trades descriptions?

    Definately 75000, as above it's bait, simple as that, plus once you bite they will point out their mistake so no trades description issues. ;)
    I like the thanks button, but ,please, an I agree button.

    Will the grammar and spelling police respect I do make grammatical errors, and have carp spelling, no need to remind me.;)

    Always expect the unexpected:eek:and then you won't be dissapointed

  • Autotraders search function allows you to put in a maximum mileage. If you selected under 50k miles, this would still show up in your results. Possible customer they might have missed otherwise.

    I regularly search for cars under a grand, price low to high and it takes a good few pages till you get to any. Traders advertise the deposit or monthly payment, not the cost of the car.
  • Looking at the other cars on that site,There is no way anyone could think that the car in question had only done 750 miles

    This ^^

    I'd forgotten about the search filters, but yeah it's a pain looking for a car because of how many traders do this!
