I wouldn't think so. 5 year old cars with 0 mileage. Also BMW. It's essentially brand new without mileage. I'd be suspisious as to why it was never used and if there is a catch. But I wouldn't know really! I'm no expert.

Id imagine the price does not include VRT. Ring and ask for more details

i owuld say they just never entered the milage on the website, I don't think its been advertised at zero mileage, no car no matter how new, is sold with zero mileage, pdi, delivery mileage.... usually adds up to 7 miles to a car

can't see enough reasons to say its not legit... only way to tell is to go visit it... priced reasonably...
run the reg througha car checker in the UK and make sure it matches the VIN on the car, get a mechanic to check it out... before making any decessions on it

To answer your question, there really isn't enough valid information to say if the car is legit or not. If you're to take the mileage on face value, it certainly isn't, but I would assume that the mileage has been entered incorrectly in the ad, rather than think that they're actually claiming that it has zero miles.

Even a brand new car wouldn't have zero miles - it has to get out of the factory and onto and then off at least one car transporter (in reality, many more) in order to get to a distributor or dealership in the first place.

And since most of the information is missing from the ad, including crucial information like engine size, I'd suspect incompetence on behalf of the person who posted the ad.

If you browse many car sites or even ebay you'll see lots of people don't enter milage or other info.

All I'd say is this ad is very poor and the only way you'll find out more is th contact the seller.

One quick check on the internet later...


Its a 530d auto, vrt would be about 6-7k

Whatever about being legit - its PINK ffs, they'd have to give me money to take it away...

Ring the mobile number and see.

I would put money on the number not being in use. That number looks fairly familar in a few scam adverts I have seen in the past.

Even if it was legit, I wouldn't be too inclined to buy a car from someone who puts that little effort into an ad. If thats the best they can manage I can imagine what the cars like

Yeah I'm pretty skeptical of it! As my brother said, if it sounds too good to be true it probably is. Although no harm giving the number a call!! Ive got 13,000 to spend. Not sure wat to get. I posted in another thread bout maybe getting a 7 pr 5 series, don't think I will anymore tho

Sids Not

Well the reg doesnt check out ,unless its SORN...its been taxed so theres gonna be some milage, as said it wont include vrt, AND it looks like the Mitchell's garage.............:D

oh and possibly the worst spray job i've ever seen....
