Fancy a clocked Audi?

[fatherpierre]

This bloke hasn't got the hang of selling clocked motors on ebay has he?

He's selling this with a decent mileage of 72k:

But checking his feedback shows this:

Someone here must have emailed him, soon after your post he made his feedback private.
Reading through it however it's almost entirely made of positive feedback from 1 pence nonsense listings.
Conmen like this need a visit from the boys with baseball bats.
I've reported him to Ebay for fraudulent listing...interesting to see if they pull it.

I wonder if the Police will have a look. Attempting to obtain money by deception. Seems pretty cut and dried really.

Having said that, clocked or not, the current price of £10.50 isn't to be sniffed at. I'd have it for that..

Those wheels are a perfect example of oversizing for no reason. The piddly brakes make them look stupid.

"Alloys have cost me £1200 it self."

These would be the alloys that were on it anyway?

 

[stats007]

Maybe Plodd should give him a ring on 07961906446?

 

[fatherpierre]

Luckily the link to the 147k audi is saved on here, so can be passed on to any ebayer who puts a decent bid in.

Hopefully this won't happen as I reported it last night, as soon as I (pardon the pun) clocked the con.

Let's see how ebay deal this with this tw*t.

He's moving abroad in one ad, but looking for a flatshare in London in the other.......

It's done 93k in that advert, the miles are dropping off it by the day...

 

[stats007]

It's red in that ad though.

Opps, different car, he likes an A3 though...

 

[fatherpierre]

The red one must have originally had around 200k mile on it until he did his 'thing'.

Going by his logic , I should wind back the clock on my 124 estate to 55K as it had a new engine at 370K , but I know that the gearbox , diff and all the running gear on my car has still done the full mileage . If I am ever selling mine the full facts will be disclosed to any prospective buyer .

 

[benny]

He is soo clever why didnt i think about doing that first...

AFTER TRANSPLANTING MY HEART FOR ANOTHER ASS.

 

[Will]

Sounds like more and more BS - I'd be surprised if the engine has been given an oil change let alone replaced.

Wonder why it has a 1-year MOT when the old one still had months to run?
Why hasn't he mentioned the 'original' mileage if it's perfectly ok to wind the clock back after a replacement...

Not liking to see anyone getting ripped off, I sent the highest bidder an email.
This was the reply:
