A Bargain, what is wrong

Rudz · 03-19-2014, 03:38 AM

With this car?

eBay item no : 321355090974

A fully kitted 09 plate 335i vert with FBMWSH, low miles and DCT for Ã‚Â£10k? Have the prices dropped so much?

jammy78 · 03-19-2014, 03:53 AM

I was just thinking..... I'm gonna get that & sell mine! It's got virtually every extra.... but then at the end of the description = £20k

Typo for sure!

as above, if you read the description the asking price is 20k, its just a low price to generate inquiries

this has been on sale for awhile now

Here is their website, http://www.shaksspecialistcars.co.uk/
Every car on there seems to cheap to me, an 2010 R Motion Golf for 10k

To good to be true, which means it usually isn't

edit - looks like the prices quoted are to just get you to look at the ad, when you read the car details the real price is listed.

eg, they have a Q7 for 9k, but when you read the spec it says £16995

^^ This is so when people sort by price it's the first thing you see. Pretty sure that car has been going around for a while now, or at least a similar one has.

Report the seller for a misleading price and have all his ads taken off!!
That'll teach him

Appears to be gone now !

Poor tactic that, it would put me right off buying it. Best to be open and honest from the start, or else I'd be thinking what else are they lying about.

Jase 320d · 03-19-2014, 06:12 PM

The other ones that piss me off are the ones that say on the mileage......... 0

You pretty much know then that its been to the moon and back

E92Dan · 03-19-2014, 06:20 PM

It's when they put 0 miles, but in the blurb they go to the effort of writing "motorway miles"

xPETEZx · 03-20-2014, 06:58 AM

Another pet hate of mine with these types of adverts is a line at the end either saying they have "other cars available" and then listing : 318 320 325 335 se m sport es

The worst offenders then also listing desirable spec items like "idrive logic 7 tv"

All just to trick the search.

I never get the point of it.

So if they are selling a 318i ES with no spec, and I search 325i M Sport and land at there ad, I am not suddenly going to go ahhh ok...this is just what I wanted. <_<
