this guy has hundreds of cars listed all of which are a scam, I really hope no one falls for it. Messaged him on eBay making out I was interested in the Range Rover and he replied to me off ebay stating payment needs to be made upfront and he will deliver the car within 3 days...

I feel so sorry for people that will fall for this and loose lots of money, as I'm sure there are people who still do

it helps when peeps like us who know the true value of these cars to report these scams to ebay.. ... - .- -.

This is the message I received back bearing in mind the sport probably should be around 13k+

The car is in excellent condition. The engine and gear box in very good condition.

The price is £6700 including delivery to your address. Price reduced for quick sale, and we have decided to sell it for a lower price because moved our business to Thurso. The payment will be made through eBay and only after you will receive the car, we receive the payment. It will take around 2-3 working days until you will receive the car and you will have a 3 days inspection period (so you have 3 days to change your mind and refuse or keep it). Also, we need to know if you have cash in hand because we have many buyers interested in the purchase and don't have time to waste. No offense but if you really want to buy it I will stop communicating with the other interested buyers.

If you are interested in buying it please provide me your full name and address so we can initiate the deal through eBay. You must know that eBay will contact you without any obligation to buy it or fees. We will wait your answer (if you are interested to buy) very soon.

Best Regards

why not call their bluff and offer cash on delivery ... ... - .- -.

If you look at the pics of their cars, they're clearly taken from a variety of other, probably pukka, car dealers.

From what I can see SSC are a bona fide specialist car dealer, so I'm surprised they aren't aware that some scummy git is running their reputation.  Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue
Had- 2008 TDV8 Vogue SE in Java black
Had - 2007 S/C in Stornoway Grey

eBay have removed all his listings now..pretty quickly actually

Wish I had spotted this earlier, I am up in Reay at the moment, only 10 miles from Thurso, sure they would have let me pop round and check it over for you  56 TDV8 Vogue SE
