be careful... a lot of dodgy stuff going around.. a lot of scamming going on. 

The usual trick is that you enquire but the email on the email back the owner has moved to the furthest distance from you, but they claim they will deliver, but you cannot see the car. Had this 3 times recently.

Most likely a Cat D. Especially looking at the state of that rear bumper

[ahmedali44]

This guy is in barking,  seem like a dealer as got another car for sale, did contact him as to see what is will say but no response as yet, could b cat d or c  but still cheap.

[rayaans]

Except no one will buy the car off you come selling time

[ahmedali44]

Inspection of rear bumper look like someone spray themselves using spray can from Halfords also sensor missing and out of place, as it's it Barking willing to inspect.i won't touch that as I'm happy with my is250 se-i as I know it's genuine car.me personally wouldn't buy cat d anyway, rayann ur right no1 will buy this, got to careful nowadays as too many ringers out there too.

Auto trader isn't showing it as a cat D if you try and create a sell ad for it (a good way to check for free :) ) Just looks like it may have had a repair to the rear end (you cannot tell the quality of the paintwork from the low quality pictures on eBay), or a scam. No other reason to try and sell it £5k below market value.

[ahmedali44]

Had it on my watch list it's disappeared and also disappeared from listing, must been dodgy eBay removed it 

[ColinBarber]

the ebay user profile has been removed too

[rayaans]

Very very fishy indeed. Its very likely that the seller was trying to "sell" a vehicle thats not his. In other words, scam!

[Ian J. Parsley]

Early 3rd generation IS only had white in F-sport trim (in other words the combination of white with Lux trim was impossible).

So, this is a scam.

[ColinBarber]

are you sure?

There was a white colour exclusive to the F Sport (083 colour code) but arctic pearl was available for the rest of the range (077 colour code) from launch.

buying a car used now seem to have got a whole lot worse, have first hand experience.

I've generally never had an issue but I usually buy used cars from main dealers so if anything serious goes astray I can get it sorted by them

I always feel like private used cars are a bit of a mindfield and I've come to the conclusion that I'd rather pay a little extra for some reassurance

I used a dealer too mind you, albeit not a main lexus.

I always feel like non-main dealers hide significant things. Mind you all dealers can do that but they always hide things like the MOT history apart from the most recent one and you'd only really find out if you went looking.

For the average joe, these things can catch them out.
