Certainly seems cheap - on the basis that if something seems to good to be true.......it probably isn't

Looks dodgy to me.
Mat of mine nearly parted with £40k cash to buy a disco, and he arrived to a scene full of coppers. When he said he was here to buy a car, the copper
said "What this one?".
Apparently it was nicked and was being sold the same week with dodgy papers. Would have sold too with no trace to the seller.
Kindest Regards,
Richard.

Think my Mondeo's worth more than that with that kind of mileage...
There's something dodgy... Maybe it's been used for the school run

A good rule for gumtree - if there is no phone number, there's a good chance its hooky.

A good way to see if they really do have the vehicle for sale is to ask for the reg number and MOT test certificate number, and then check the MOT
history on the DVLA website (click)
Of all the scammers I've played along with, none have ever provided this information, they just want me to set up some money transfer scheme
because they are all "out of the country at the moment"

I think it's worth about £15k so if you can buy it for £4100 then there's a healthy profit in it

Maybe not that much , but £10,000 wouldnt be far off
I may be completely wrong, but at that price he is offering to pay the duties from Portugal back into the UK, too good to be true
Big wabbit off , big....

If it's coming back full of drugs he should be charging more!
