Having a look on Autotrader today at the 22Bs

find these 2 posts

Car One

Car Two

Now how can the same car be for sale at 2 garages 40 miles apart and for £6000 less by one of them? You think someone's telling porkies?

Wierd if its the same car as one is quoting milage of 15000km and the other 16209 miles!

My guess is one dealer has bought it of the other thinking he can make a quick buck on it. And the other dealer has forgot to take the advert out unless of course the both know each other. See it done with my current car

That wouldnt explain the milage, the cheaper dealer quotes milage of 16k miles, so assuming he sold it on how has the cars milage dropped to 15000km when the new dealer puts it on sale?

Think Sunnyhill Motors at Turriff in Aberdeenshire had that car a few years ago, unless every "specialist" dealer has a 22B previously owned by N Grist!?

Strange, it's still on bith dealer websites, my gues is that a member of the public owns it, and has given both dealers the task of selling it, one just wants to make more than the other!!

Both garages are conected, business partners own them. car was up at 35k now reduced to 30k, obviously they did not wish to show what profit they were trying to make first time round.
Not dodgy,
They are unsure if its miles or Km, i would have thought it was a uk car givern to Nicky, so would be Miles

A call to prodrive by the dealer would probably clear up the miles/km`s issue i`d have thought

I nearly bought a 22b a few years back from Listers, got the finance etc and was all set to buy the motor when the dealer turned round and told the seller had changed his mind!!!

What I explained, I thought you were the seller?

It turned out the dealer was just fronting the sale presumably for a cut probably the same here but two dealers are involved?
