£2959?

Or if you didn't fancy that one, the same dealer has an 84,000 miles X-reg Corsa for a few quid shy of £14,000.

There must be some really clever slick marketing ploy behind this - please tell me no-one could be serious about this.....?

Tempting but I think I'll pass.

Wow, everything seems about £10,000 too much!

- it's a real shed as well, trim missing and rust everywhere - this dealership is a front for other activity - they will only 'sell' cars to their associates in the other activity - well known scam for washing money - the ads make it all look legit - in this instance they are not being very subtle - never mind this one - £14k fr a corsa - pull the other one!

I was looking at the dealers website yesterday, either their decimal point is in the wrong place or it's a front for a money laundering scam or it's just some weird in joke. Based on their figures, my 240 would be worth around £30k which coincidentally is exactly what i have spent on it so far....(joke).

That 240 saloon was on for £295 before then all prices changed........

It looks like someone may have hacked the site.... And added a "9" to the end of every price. If you ditch the final "9" then the prices make sense!
