I can't get the pics up on my phone but a few months ago I read of a woman doing the scam that wilkoturbo menchions using an estoril blue 4.6is lpg to bait people in, where ever I read it at the time even had the reg of said car from someone that had viewed it and left!!  I phoned about one before I got mine and they wanted me to pay a deposit before viewing and after a conversation I dint like I got a bad feeling so after 10minutes of them trying to get money first I politely told them to go ...... Themselves!!

Yep probably the same car its estoril blue (like mine :) ) Oh really I thought about phoning for a laugh to see what they say. I just don't get how they actually think people are going to put down a deposit on something they haven't even looked at! I would say "No I will come and look at the car and then give you cash if I like it" if they decline it's obvious something is up...

there seems to be a flow of 2008/2009 msports appearing on PT, AT and gumtree at prices around £9000 which indicates they are scams..
