2003 sport, sat nav, 26k, styling pack, buy it now for 9,700

If thats legit it could well be the best deal of the century.

I would leave it where it is, 0 profile seller for such a car is not a good thing IMO

[Mr Morse]

With an HPI check this could be a bargain..........or a real headache

[peter026]

I have seen this car around a few times Looks in good nick, as Mike says Hpi check

[LEX200sport]

That would trade for a couple of grand over the buy it now if its a genuine car, without a doubt. Especially with sat nav and styling kit! Any dealer would give alot more than £9700 for that f its HPI clear.

I believe ive seen that for sale on eBay before aswell. In fact Im certain I have. Unless they just used the same pictures. I think it was a dealer selling it first time round.

Very strange that nothing shows up?? Could just be thats its had a private plate on it and only just been changed back and not updated yet.

That is an absolute bargain, although not necessarily dodgy. The guy might be trying to p/ex it, dealer offering silly money for it, so probably adding a bit to it and letting it go privately rather than let the dealer get a ridiculous profit. If that's true the owner must be pretty decent :)

With a car so new (and still within warranty), must be pretty easy to check the history with the Lexus dealer its been maintained with (if it has)

It has been removed now.

I have seen two M3s on eBay for buy it now >10000 in the past week. Both have been removed!

Both were 03 models. One an SMG convertible and athe other a manual coupe. VERY dodgy In my personal opinion.

Hmmm, may have been something wrong then. I really dont get all this about money transfers and western union on eBay etc etc.

I mean, surely no one in their right mind would transfer a substantial amount of money into a bank account without even seeing the car or the person??

Not sayin this one was a scam or anything. May have been an error in the listing or something, like the price!

seems to have been removed now

You can guarantee that anyone asking for payment through Western Union is a scammer! Beware
