Redsky Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 12K for 29000 mile nismo spec. Why does that seem far too good to be true or have prices really gone wonky? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattross1313 Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 This screams scam to me. Trade in value according to AT is £16,870. Heck, if that is legit it's worth buying then immediately trading it in to make £4.8k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LRF4N Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 I thought scam too. But usually that’s with a new profile and no rating? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GranTurismoEra Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 (edited) The same ad is on autotrader with Hamptons LOL...One did go on Saturday morning for £23990 (2018 7800 miles) from Ford. Saw the drop on Friday night from 26900. Had been on there for months at 28,700. There's one in Belfast though for 23900 67 plate they also uploaded one yesterday for £33000 19 plate silver with 3000 miles ex demo.

That's scuppered my plans. Must be a typo on ebay at £11,995. I thought it was too good to be true. Edited May 20, 2019 by Payco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think ive seen a Nismo less than 17k and that was the Mark 1 sat on Autotrader for 7 months! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Payco Posted May 20, 2019 Author Share Posted May 20, 2019 Yep. I was hoping it was a money rich person who didn't have a clue what they had which is why it was such a basic add. Wishful thinking on my part, I should know better but I couldn't help noticing it and jumping on it like a car bonnet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silverthorn Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 I'd assume it to be someone that's stolen the images and created a fake/scam advert on eBay. Car is for sale via Hamptons of Surrey, located in Ewshot. Yet the eBay ad states it's located in Brighton? Also, if it's a car dealer selling the car, why would they not list it on their actual eBay selling account rather than a small account being used to sell socks and artwork Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy_Muxlow Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 The ebay name is a bit fishy also if you ask me? "artisticlicense77" lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redsky Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 it is an old ebay account though joined in 2003 and a bunch of positive reviews and things, doesn't seem like the typical brand new 3 day old job. Like someone said above though could have been hijacked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Payco Posted May 22, 2019 Author Share Posted May 22, 2019 (edited) Quote this was his response I received today. Asked him if the price of £11,995 was correct. What do you think ? Hi, My apologies for the late reply. The asking price is correct. I want to sell it because of the recent divorce. I need to cover some of the expenses because I recently had to move. I'm looking for a fast sale. The car is in excellent condition, very well taken care of. I'm really a type of guy who loves taking care of his stuff. Drives as it should, no faults mechanically or electrical. Brakes good, gearbox all good, no unusual noises, leaks or overheating. HPI clear, no negative history against it and full documented history is present. Never been damaged or involved in accidents. No outstanding finance owing. I only take payment by Paypal at the moment so I hope this is OK with you. Many people are interested to buy so your prompt response will be highly appreciated.

coldel Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 (edited) only taking paypal eh - worth contacting the other ad to let them know? Maybe reply and tell them you are working abroad at the moment and you will send around a trailer owned by your work colleague to pick it up...

Seems suspicious I agree but what IF it's genuine, how can I protect myself. I have looked him up on linkdein and he seems ok but I am very aware it could be a big scam. He only lives 20 mins away so going to see it tomorrow with Steve if the seller comes back to me. If its registered in his name, he shows me a passport with id, its HPI clear what else can I do to be suspicious.

Ponsonby Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 I doubt the car will be available for viewing since it is also for sale in Surrey. But I am sure you know this and are just curious to play this out - why not if you have the time : ) Needless to say don't turn up anywhere with cash and on your own.

veeg33 Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 just throwing in a spanner ----> Maybe both husband and wife are claiming the car? Husband selling it cheaper for fast cash using an undeclared account Paypal to avoid the wife getting 50%........wife wanted to sell this at full price. Anyway, i don't have spare £12k to buy this even if this is legit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he is who he claims to be with a good reputation. Lets wait and see what he comes back with. Will keep you all posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe you get the entire car for £12K but have to take the wife as well?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
