I accept your desire to see the best in people and nobody is saying all used car dealers are all thieves, but there is nothing about this listing which doesn't just scream "scam". Again everyone is absolutely entitled to their opinion and we should respect that, but I simply cannot comprehend what you see in this listing as being genuine. |
And I will soon be in the market to sell a T8. As such I have been monitoring the prices of used ones for a good 9 months now. In all that time I have not seen a single one at lower than 19995. Even with monster miles. So one at 17k might be a bargain for a quick sale. One at 9k is simply nonsense. Nobody does that.

I think one of a boat load of red flags on this advertisement is the fact the car is showing as taxed and more telling is the fact the vehicle is showing as still insured...which dealer does anyone know that has cars for sale that are taxed AND insured. Previously mentioned the mileages on the MOT don't match the advertisement.....the list goes on and on.

You may well be right, this car may be suspicious, or it might be a genuine offer - that is up to prospective purchasers to decide. As I said before, 'buyer beware' with any used car. My point is, however, that even if this one turns out to be 'dodgy', that does not mean that every other dealer is the same. We seem to be in danger of assuming the lowest common denominator in stereotyping people and, metaphorically, 'tarring them all with the same brush' here. That isn't right, either. Regards, John. |

What an easy way to make a very quick £10,000
WBAC will double your purchase price so it's a no-brainer to buy it and flip it https://www.volvoforums.org.uk/attac...1&d=1712992541 |

It was a semi serious question yes. I was inviting you to put your money where your mouth is. The thing is, I think you are fighting a different fight. I started this thread with a simple question "this looks like a massive sacm here, what do others think?". I didn't start a thread with the question "is everyone who sells a used car a thief?" As far as I can see, everyone has replied to the former. You seem to be answering the latter. So does it matter? You are expressing a different opinion to others, surely that is what makes a forum a discussion and a community of ideas? Well yes and no. In this instance I take the opinion that openly pursuing the opinion (and repeatedly so) that this isn't a scam is quite dangerous. It could lead to someone making a very expensive mistake. So it is quite important that we robustly challenge your comments. And finally this a forum dedicated to a number of cars, including the flagship model the T8. Confessing that you don't even know what a T8 is does somewhat undermine your argument. |

I recently did a check on a number of cars this "dealer" has on offer, everyone i checked was both taxed and Insured, if you sell to a dealer isn't it the case you notify DVLA and obtain a tax refund. I also noticed the postcode quoted for pick up of the vehiche was a Wrexham in North Wales postcode. Well, the first part is the final 3 digits aren't recognised by the post office.
