Either that or they 'forgot' to mention it's been flood damaged and the
engine and electrics are toast and it's a break only for parts insurance job?

Hi Guy's/Andrew,
To save on being scammed (By a premium phone number) and to see if this is indeed a genuine sale or even if the the C6 actually exists ?

I've used the send 'E-Mail Seller' link, the following:-
XMX E-Mail To Seller wrote:When and where can I view the C6,also please could you confirm that the price of £3000 is correct as I have the cash available instantly if I liked the car !
Has the vehicle EVER been involved in an accident (i.e. is the logbook clean and it's not on a Cat. C or D) or written off ?
Also can you confirm if the speedometer is calibrated in miles or kilometres for total distances travelled as you state is covered 67k miles and the vehicle is a LHD, (which are normally calibrated in kilometres) please confirm ?
Thank you
I will see what response I get and give an update !
Then I shall ask (Challenge them) why are the photo's of the C6 in the advertisement not aligning up with the description (Black Leather v's Cream Leather) :wink:

:lol:

Even though these cars tend to depreciate like the proverbial 'lead balloon' that car in sound condition & with a clean history is worth a lot more than that! do i smell a rat? - oh hell yeah, one to avoid in my opinion.
Music keeps me going.

Is anyone legitimately going to sell it for 10 grand less than the lowest
price seen lately for one of these? It's just a typo. Time to move on.

No problems; I'd be happy with daughters as the eventual supply of would-be suitors could offer cheap labourers. :lol:

I was stirring Shaver up as he seems to be feeling defeated, and a 'loo seat staying down is one more nail in the macho coffin. :P He'll now have to pose with the baby and his Citroën once it all comes together.

It will definitely be a scam, i wouldn't even bother enquiring.

You've no doubt heard lots of stories from people selling cars too cheaply. For example: They advertise them, try to get money from people before they see it, often saying the car is still in another country etc or the seller is away. It does happen.

The car wont even exsit, hence the lack of a reg, it will be a picture pinched from another advert.

Wife's got me trained on the loo seat already. And eating with mouth closed. Using tissues, checking bank accounts before the overdrawn letter comes.
Think she hopes to have all my childish ways removed before the new child comes :lol:

That's most likely meant to be - BLACK - LEATHER SEATS -

Unless you think it also has a REAR BLIND AUTO HANDBRAKE :)

Our Peugeot has a tiptronic in silver! :lol:

The one and only car i have ever been to see which was too cheap but sounded good, was a C3. Some things were slightly off putting though, like the glued together steering wheel due to the air bag having been deployed. The front of the car was out of shape. The radiator fixed only at the top and by two cable ties, leaving it flapping around at the bottom, water was pouring out - yes water, not coolent. The interior was mouldy, the full service history didnt exist.

Apart from that, it was pretty decent :erm:

Mind, ive seen a lot of well priced cars in not too dissimilar condition. A genuine car is a gem, and should be held onto!
