    There's no way it's an 08 if the NCT is til 2013. It would be due it's first NCT next year which wouldn't expire til 2012. My guess is it's 03.

    scam you. in detail though? you go look at the car and they tell you its their uncle from london's car or something along those lines. lets just say you buy the car and its in perfect condition and you have no problem. will it be a stolen car or what?

    its a numbers game.... at such a price lots of interest....

    you never get to see the car... as they dont have it.....
    most people walk away at this point...

    but heres where the numbers part comes in (there are always a few greedy or stupid people, its a matter of finding them, so the bigger the number of people interested the more a chance you will find them), get enough people interested one or two of them will still want to buy cause it such a good price without seeing it...

    then it can go a few ways...

    one you turn up and are robbed for your cash...

    two they try to use an escrow company to hold money...

    three they ask you to forward a deposit to hold the car till you inspect,

    either one they disappear with your money and you never see or hear from them again..

    thats just one way

    well thats just plain darn silly! could you really imagine buying a car without seeing it/driving it. i wouldnt even buy one without a dealer/my mechanic looking at it!

    what about the avensis in my first post? think that was a 08/03? and the second avensis....the seller says if he doesnt sell it the banks will repossess it? will we see more of this in the near future? or is it another scam? always wary of no pics

    since the ad is already removed, i am guessing some sort of scam....

    possibly hoping to sell the car and that the buyer wont check outstanding finance... seller gets money... buyer gets car repossed later on....
