Says its in Spain, but has us grilles, us towing eye covers, us front numberplate holder, us corner marker lights and us spec horrible interior colour.

Will be a scam involving you paying their shipping agent via western union or some such after convincing you it's 100% safe, using photos stolen off someone elses genuine ad.
cheers,

If it sounds too good to be true, then it usually is!

The rear seats have too many seat belt parts in them!

Just called the number in the ad, but the poor woman tod me that she has already had various calls from the UK about this but that she does't speak English and knows nothing about the car or the ad......

I can't see a way of reporting the error, does anyone know how to get the number removed from the ad or the ad withdrawn?

You could try the 'contact us' link at the bottom of the page. Provide the link to the ad and explain you've called the number etc etc...


I'm wondering how the advertiser is expecting to sell or scam if they can't even get the number right. Doesn't say much for their scamming skills :?

The husband of the woman I spoke to this morning has just called me to get the website address to try to get the ad removed.
