Red face 330Ci for £7000 - Whats the catch?!?!?

Hi All,

Just checking out ebay and found a 2002 330Ci ClubSport Coupe for £7000 on a buy it now basis. What the hell is this guy thinking?!? Surely this is atleast 15k's worth of car?!?!?!

This is not a plug for me and no he's not my mate! Just gobsmacked!

What do you reckon? Should I buy it?????

It's probably a Cat D or C insurance write-off but has been repaired or non-recorded stolen and recovered.

Theres a guy on ebay with 1700 +ve feedbacks (all for selling small crappy things worth a pound or two) who sometimes tries these scams..he recently had an audi a4 allroad, which you could see had a price tag of £17995 in the window up for £4k........sad thing is, someone must actually fall for these for there to be so many on the net.

I sometimes email them and string them along for a laugh.....ebay is a joke for allowing these to go on.

Come on, YOU started it!!

If you can type a post on a BBS then you surely are NOT seriously asking if you should buy a car thats too cheap?
