[Orcadian]

Sorry can't figure if I can link or not so

take a peek at Gumtree....enter Maserati and you'll find an 07, 40k miler for £6k, yes £6000.
Very nice looking car, any body come across this one before?

It comes with a body in the boot.

 

[Orcadian]

Knew it.......still breaks your heart when you think you've found the bargain of the decade

A few years an ad appeared in the local rag, 5 series beemer, 2 years old: £10, everybody laughed, one guy phoned up.
The lady seller's husband had just left her for another and told to get what you can for the car!!!
Don't know whether she shredded his clothes as well

If you take a look at the sold section in the Classifieds, you will see ADG are really banging them out, there seems to be a real market for the 4.2 now.

 

[Orcadian]

not surprised if the one on gumtree is one of there's and going at £6000!

 

[Orcadian]

Just had an email back from gumtree saying they had removed the ad and were doing what they could to stop the person advertising again

 

[conaero]

The car spammers do seem to be fizzling out I think nobody is stupid enough to fall for it these days, but Gumtree dies appear to be the place for it these days.

 

[Parisien]

As they say....one born everyday......so lots of people will be taken in.....

[Orcadian]

But can anyone tell me who they 'work'?
They wanted an email address outwith gumtree, what would have happened next?

sorry, I'm just a simple isles boy, knaive to the ways of the world

At a guess the 'seller' would then explain to the buyer how wonderful the car is, but there are loads of people interested, so you better transfer the money right now. Here's my paypal / bank account details.

Even if you only get a deposit, ten hapless marks nets quite a decent amount of cash.

[Orcadian]
