Who would pay that amount for a car on ebay? The questions to the seller starts with "I am the current highest bidder" and then goes on to ask some basic questions like are all the keys there and do things work on it?

Scary!

Gotta agree with Bobby. Let's bid 80 g's and not know how many seats it has.

Morons.

It does say in text that it is a main BMW dealer so should be safe.

Best bet would be to toddle on down to the dealer for viewing and negociating (with a AA RAC vehicle inspector to hand) and deny all knowledge of ebay.

I bet BMW won't be very happy that you think that - the dealers name is actually BerkshireBM and is nothing to do with BMW.

The eBay ad is really off-putting - I know you shouldn't judge, but the spelling and language used is appalling.

Quote from himself:

"THE CAR WAS ON E/BAY LAST WEEK

BUT E BAY WITHDREW IT BECAUSE I WAS WORD SPAMMING IN THE TITLE APPARENTLY"

Apparantly? I have a feeling he's a stinky lier! Or he accidentally put Jaguar and BMW in the title! I hate "word spammers" with a passion. It's as bad as searching Yahoo and getting the first page full of links to searches on other search engines. Grrrr!

Car looks very nice though, but there must be something wrong with it for them wanting to sell such a car on ebay. Possibly a smoker's car? I'm always a bit suspicious of a seller who doesn't list the faults, there must be at least one somewhere! There's no mention of it being HPI clear, what the mechanics/body are like. For all we know it could sound like a bag of nails. Also, there must have been loads of questions asked about this car with regard to its condition, yet the only one he's answered refers to where their dealership is.

Did a quick check of completed lots within the past 30 days, surprise, surprise, there are not other lots at all. Definitely nothing about a stopped auction, uless ebay have removed all reference to it.

To check this yourself is easy. Click on his feedback number to bring up his feedback. Then highlight the sellers reference and then use the copy keyboard function (Ctrl c). Open advance search and click on sellers details. In the box paste the sellers reference (Ctrl v) and check the box for complted items. Hey presto only one lots shown!

OK Adam, that's it.

If you even think of buying me one of those, I'm just not going to marry you. ;-)

Adam - do you need a best man?
another ebay find, one for the missus? - Adam {P}
Yes. Yes I do P. I need someone who isn't going to run off with her whilst we're at the altar. Someone who is so different in every way that they couldn't stand to be anywhere near her...


....Want the job mate?

Oi! He's got some repair work to do first before he starts recruiting wedding staff ;-)

Take it to e-mail.

I think we've had more than enough of weddings, car boots and endless cliquey "in" chat.

I will be cleanign this, and other, threads up and in future excess tedium, which would be better handled in e-mail, will disappear.

I know - censorship, human rights, freedom of speech, whatever.

Thank you.

Briefly followed a Vanquish on saturday night, the car was in royal blue, the driver and passenger where in cruise night mode i guess. My initial impression was the lack of a sense of occasion. Sure i knew what it was all about but i was driving in a fairly narrow street with plenty of saturday night revellers.

No-one gave it a second glance.

Now i want my supercars to be head turners.. to stop people in their tracks. (that's the supercar point isn't it?)

The Vanquish failed the test.. so i won't be bidding.

Current high bidder has a feedback rating of ...... 2!!

Might not be such a bad sign. Is the sort of person who buys a Vanquish generally the same sort of person who regularly picks up bargains on eBay? ;)
