Not much of an advert but a lot of a bargain perhaps! Wonder what's wrong with it...

It would be even cheaper..

[hopo]

Its a Stevens....   

 

Only joking! looks good... from the outside!

It's been for sale for an eternity - I remember seeing this last year for sale on gumtree. It's gradually got cheaper snd cheaper as the months have gone by. I blame the advert itself and where it's placed........not exactly promoting itself is it?

Has to be something very wrong with it. So who's going to call the seller then 

[Simon350S]

£3,500 now....??

Looks like a scam to me  To good to be true and there are plenty of scams on Gumtree  And it's a weird 08438 number, just tried phoning it and heard a strange beeping noise at the other end.

 

Edit:  Just reading up on the number and it's used to generate income.

 

0843 numbers numbers usually cost more than a normal phone call, they can be used to generate income for the organisation being called.

He's earned some money today then. Called from work just in case..... Keeps you on hold for ages saying someone will be with you shortly....

[molemot]

Perhaps we need to send the lads round??

[TAR]

you can report fraudulent adverts on Gumtree. 

[stephenwhyte]

That's just wrong! Too many scams these days, that people just keep getting away with! Too good to be true clearly.......

I reported it as a scam and It has gone now, he's probably picked a different picture off the net and setup a different one.

Speaking of scams, I have a friend whos is looking for e Stevens SE, pref..1990, and he recently found this cheap one in Italy via mobile do de, and wrote to the guy, WHO said okay, it's there to buy but insisted on having ½ of the Money sent first and he would ship the car via his own Company...

Add reported and now removed.

Sad that there is no consequences for this type of criminal behaviour..

 

Kind regards,

Jacques.
