If anyones looking;

Skoda : 2005 SKODA OCTAVIA VRS BLACK

Can't be right?

**mannyo** · 15-12-2007, 10:01

it does seem wrong. The pictures are defo of a 55 reg though, the reg plate can be seen in picture 3. Maybe it should be 13K.

mattbeef · 15-12-2007, 12:32

either that or they have too much cash

gmaster · 15-12-2007, 14:52

Wtf!! that is well cheap!

Tom_vRS · 15-12-2007, 15:06

I think its underpriced by £10k, my bet is he missed the 1 off the front

Fezboy · 15-12-2007, 16:13

bsmithmilne · 15-12-2007, 17:19

RobKnapp2 · 15-12-2007, 17:23

See if you could get the reg on it. Also, the advert and the emails use of english doesnt match!

Incidentally, a collegue at work has been looking at a 5300 mile A3 for similar money. Way underpriced. We have come to the conclusion that its a ringer!

Liverpool-Lad · 15-12-2007, 17:31

Either that guy is seriously dyslexic or this is a scam as suspected.

Fezboy · 15-12-2007, 17:32

The same reply (almost)

Looks like the pictures have been lifted from a genuine sale and are being used in a scam. Will probably ask for payment by Western Union.

Loads of these dodgy scams around at the moment.
Hopefully no one will fall for them!.
We get loads of these on cliosport.
They tend to search forums for pictures then post them up on pistonheads as a for sale ad!.

**mannyo** · 15-12-2007, 18:12

Well, I have reported it which seems to have removed the car from the list, but it still pops up in the above link.

bobster · 15-12-2007, 18:48

I emailed about it too. Had scam written all over it, and after the reply back my initial thoughts were confirmed.

If it looks to good to be true, it usually is.
