Whilst I'm aware that it may be dyslexia or English as a second language, but surely spell-checking your 'for sale' advertisement would be a good idea? Failing that, a cut-and-paste from the LR site even.
Maybe I'm just being a grammar nazi, but I'm immediately suspicious of the sale of an almost dealer-fresh £30K+ car as a result.Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana
I'd suggest if anyone's genuinely interested they contact the seller and ask all the normal questions, take it for a test drive, do a history check etc.The End

It does sound to good to be true, there must be a mistake. Yes, I am also suspicious of the text. I wonder if its on finance??? HPI check vital.

It sure is an S this time - but I would be very nervous about bidding on this because of:
Poor seller \ bidder history - 0 feedback - yet member for nearly 2 years?
Private auction - so other bidders are not disclosed?
Very poor spelling?
Mobile number for queries - why not just use the ebay Q&A system?

I haven't personally, but I know of one in the York/Selby area that was taken by our traveller friends when the owner left the keys in it next to a 'transient site'. The police weren't interested in recovering left it to the insurance as didn't want to have to call in riot squad to recover.
(don't know what colour it was though)
P.S. insurance didn't pay up
