Someone selling their MR2 on Autotrader using pics of my car

[Rob]

Blue GT - 137K miles - the pics are all of my car - note the 2 chrome badges on the dash in the rear shot - not standard.

How wrong is that! Person buying it will be getting a different car !

FRAUD!

What a bl00dy cheek !


I've emailed him (politely of course) to ask the question " are the photos on AutoTrader of the actual car for sale or 'Library Pictures' ?"

hmmmm lets see what he replies with shall we

[Rob]

Cheers Cosmos - quick thinking.

To be fair whoever buys it should look at it first, but its still out of order!

Thanks mate - didnt want to sell it yet!

I been checking it recently, just looking dont have the cash and had a look at that one. Kinda makes you think if you can trust the seller now.

Does the mileage and recon gearbox description match yours too? I'd be a bit worried if it did - you haven't recently split with a girlfriend and also lost your spare set of keys have you?

[Jon S]

That is so out of order!

There are two numbers on the ad. (One is Newbury I think, not too far).

Ask to have a look and then turn up in yours!

Cheecky xxxx

Can you not try to contact auto trader and ask them to remove the ad?

[Dave Couzens]

That is mega cheeky.

Perhaps we shoudl pop round in your car to view this other one? And then see exactly what they have to say.

I'll bring a large metal rod to speed the talking along...

Ive emailed him asking him to adjust the advert to say about the pics being of a similar car and not actually his own.
