What do you think?

If I had this money now I'd want this! What do you think of it? Why so cheap?
(I have no connection with the seller and just spotted it while browsing ebay)

Seen it before.

Lovely car!

That must be a mistake, it cant be that cheap.

They never made a 3.5csi. Most likely they put a 3.5 in.

£12,995

Typo / scam / whatever - there's no way you'll get that car for that price!

Stereotypical ebay scam . A scamming scumster has copied the sellers ad and opened a dodgy ebay account hoping some fool will press buy it now and send him £2200. Amazingly fools fall for this

Thats for sale on a classic car website. This has been copied for a scam. Maybe if it had a decent front bumper, wheels etc.

I thought it was too good to be true.

Those BKs arnt doing it any favours....

Am I missing somthing?
Its a classified ad, no buy it now, you contact the seller via contact seller button regarding sale,

This listing is a Classified Ad. There is no bidding. If you are interested in this item, you may contact the seller to request additional information

so how is it a scam, Way too cheap though, no way anyone is going to part with £1000,s on pic alone

Genuine deep dish Alpina rims. It's a scam, you'll be asked to pay a deposit.

Couldn't it just be a matter of the seller forgetting to put in the 1 in their ad? at £12,220 it sounds more realistic.

I wouldn't think it would be a scam at that price - Surely nobody in the know enough to know what a E9 actually is would think that they could get such a car for £2k!

surely if it was a scam it would be more realistic and believable if it was advertised at a realistic price? the sort of person that would be looking for that sort of car would nkow what theyre really worth and not be fooled.

Thats fecking gorgeous....

Surely must be a typo....
Like the £50000 333i on there as well

Yeah, typo I reckon. I'm sure i've seen that on the bay before for upwards of £12k.

I noticed there was no 'buy it now' button too......Must be a typo. Sure he's had calls by now so surprised he's not changed it.

Post Sat May 24, 2008 8:19 pm

I emailed the guy - he replied back staright away saying the price is correct, but he has a buyer!!!!!

Couple of minutes after he replied to me, i got a notification from ebay saying that the seller may not be genuine, please exercise extreme caution!!!!!!

Just another knobjockey!!!!

It looks like Ebay have removed it or something as the link now comes up as 'Invalid item' !
