2015 Defender 110 Puma 2.2 XS CSW Montalcino Red

No, that looks like a genuine sale that. He's pointed out in his advert the reason for selling is because of a new car that's already arrived, so makes sense selling a twisted 90 for at least £12-15k less than its worth. Just like the other 10 cars which are obviously all in his way, even though they are scattered across the country.

The concerning part is it looks more genuine that it obviously is as there's a trading/feedback history from somewhere 2007 - Stornoway Grey 90 XS SW - Gone
2002 - Black Discovery II - Gone
2014 - Montalcino Red 110 XS SW

With a place for everything and everthing in its place.
Ten years down the line there's a Mini in there somewhere, and

2015 Defender 110 Puma 2.2 USW Java Black

I'd really encourage everyone who spots tosh like this to use the report button on ebay. It's a maximum of 15 seconds and half a dozen clicks to report suspected fraudulent activity and ebay do seem to immediately take the items down.

Doesn't of course stop the beggars relisting but if everyone reports it might make it slightly less likely that the daft get taken for a ride and thus less attractive to the scammers to post.

It took them over a week to take a cloned ad down when I was selling my last 110 on eBay. It was copied word for word and all the photos were copies but it was for substantially less than mine. I wasn't impressed at their slow response

2011 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 USW Orkney Grey

I've seen that number plate somewhere before !
I was playing a silly game with my crew mate whilst sat on standby , in a lay by , on an A road, where you have to make up words or phrases using the last 3letters of a number plate , and I'm sure that came past . I can't repeat what the phrase was because its rude!

Looks like the £6,000 "bargain" has been removed and replaced by a legitimate sale? 2008 RS4 gone, 123d M Sport, and a Puma 90 XS..

Jonny - that's really poor agreed.

We've been looking to buy a 2nd hand Wolf cooker and 80% of those on the bay seem to be fakes. I report them, they get taken down and a week or so later the exact same ad and pictures go up under a different seller!

Still good that after me clicking the report button last night on this Defender that it's been removed

Not sure I can see the legitimate sale though Red-dot? 110 UW - '15 2.2
