Sounds dodgy to me, tbh..

Odd thread!
The poster whanted to know whose car it was due to the sticker, why did the
"What makes you think they're dodgy ?"
question come in to it?
Personally having read the whole add they are advising that there is no warranty so look for unspotted issues (spotted ones will be notified) during your infinite number of test drives allowed prior to purchase.

They always have cars for sale on ebay, I think they go to the auctions, buy them and take pics at the auction house and stick them up for sale.
They have an excellent reputation
Note the car was sort of washed with the osr window down!

And a lot come back up for sale and if you don't like the car then they don't force you to buy it so not to bad but as said they are not the best and do require work so as said you get what you pay for Discovery 3 se gone

Don't sound like dodgy dealers to me, it reads like they're describing it as a money pit and not to have too high expectations!2014 D4 XS
2005 D3 SE - Gone
Watch a few of their vehicles and then look at the bidding activity just before the sale ends...
A surprising number of bidders with zero feedback will place bids late on, so there might be no reserve, but I have suspicions as to how legal these auctions are.

I’ve watched a few of the auctions and never thought of it like that before. They could easily be pushing up the bidding with fake accounts.
That never occurred to me before.
