    Possibly dodgy P38

    Nice but...

    2001 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER VOGUE HSE P38A MY2001 Private Cars For Sale in NSW - carsales.com.au

    I checked this one out a few weeks ago and the email reply stated that the car was in Darwin, would be shipped to me free of charge, and the owner was in Spain. It also quoted ebay's protection policy.

    The next day I got an email notification from car sales that the ad had been withdrawn due to possible fraud.

    The last time it was advertised it was located near Cooma, NSW.

    I've emailed them again (lets face it I'm an optimist) but have not heard back.

    That is my experience. You have been warned.

    If it sounds like a scam, looks like a scam and reads like a scam, it probably is a scam.

    I got the same email back - the ad was taken off carsales, and now it's back on again. Same email too, car's in darwin, you have 5 days to have the car checked out once it gets shipped to you (free of charge)... Last time the ad was up he had $15k on it, now he's got $11 300... Suss to the max!
