Something I don't understand here....

See

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/RANGE-ROVER-SPORT-DI...dZViewItem

I am not totally familiar with how Ebay operates but this does not appear to have a reserve and even so he seems to want £8,900 for it?

Scam?

Don't worry I have no intention of getting involved - just curious

... you also have to email him for pre-approval

That price must be wrong.

Also note the naff tailpipes fitted and the supercharged badge on the rear

Hmm... even with the naff tailpipes, I'll have it for 9k!! Seller's got a good rating... Someone should ask him what the catch is...

England 2006 Range Rover Sport TDV8 HSE Java Black

There was a story last year where the wife of a cheating husband put his Porsche on ebay with a 'Buy It Now' of £1. She could do this as the car was put in her name for insurance reasons!

It was featured in one of the daily papers with an interview with the guy who won it. It was genuine and all she wanted to do was obviously teach the cheating ba$tard a lesson.

Doubt he'd do it again! Laughing

Perhaps this is a similar thing, except she wants a couple of quid out of it? You'll notice the email is Kristy so it could be the case? Shocked TDV8 HSE in Java/Ebony with Zebrano Wood, RSE, Hybrid TV, and a few other bells and whistles.

That is just another one of the scam auctions.
As VA said someone has had their account stolen, you have to send the email to his personal email and not 'ask the seller a question' as otherwise the real account holder would start getting questions abouthis non existant RRS Evil or Very Mad

THIS IS THE EMAILED RESPONSE!!!!

Hello there,

I know that you have many choices on eBay and I appreciate that you contacted me. Although I am registered in the UK, but I recently moved in Vienna, Austria and the car is being shipped from here. I made the auction for UK due to the fact it's UK version (right handed), meet all the UK standards, and its better to ship it where it belongs, that means UK, because here in Austria is very difficult to drive this type of vehicle, so i am trying to sell it as low as i can to complete the sale fast (my loss will be your gain). It still has UK registration, cos I didn't paid for Austria import taxes.You will have to register it in UK in to your own name. The car meets United Kindom DOT and EPA guidelines so there will be no problems regarding UK Customs policy on receiving the car.The car is in a perfect cosmetic and engine conditions, and meticulously maintained. No damage, no scratches or dents, no hidden defects, the engine doesn't smoke, runs and sounds awesome, the engine has never been repaired or something like that, never been into accidents and it is as advertised. The car comes with log book, HPI cleared, it is free of encumbrances and liens. You will get from me the keys and all documents to register the item in UK, and also a bill of sale in your name and signed by me. If the car is not how i described it, i will offer a full refund, upon the return of the item in original condition (return postage at my expense). It will be insured during transportation and will be delivered at your front door in maximum one week. Final price is £8,900.00 (this price includes the shipping and insurance). If you will aggre with all my terms please replay me back so we can arrange the payment.

I will wait your email

Respectfully, TDV8 HSE in Java/Ebony with Zebrano Wood, RSE, Hybrid TV, and a few other bells and whistles.
