scam thread makes thecremeegg sad

not as bad as normal ones though, no mention of "only email this address, phone is dead, cannot use, email me" or anything.

though they have dropped in price a lot, that is a shocking price and gotta be a scam

Honestly? I don't think that is a scam. A 4 year old 530d M sport will go for £12k.

This is a 5 year old 525d SE. So, in fairness, price seems about right.

Morba · 13 Aug 2009 at 00:42

cheapest 04 525d SE on trader is just under £9k, it has crap alloys and no sport kit.

surely the mileage in the OP is missing a 1 at the front as well

Vigoro · 13 Aug 2009 at 00:47

Or a 0 at the end

What, apart from the price, would indicate it were a scam?

Just the price. tbh I havent looked to see what the standard price of these things are, but people post "omg wtf how cheep is this!11" threads every week, and they're always scams

alex24 · 13 Aug 2009 at 00:51

Fair enough. Experience would indicate whether it was any good or not then, I have no idea what these usually fetch, and the ad isn't exactly comprehensive.

Sigh, of course its a scam. It's a cheap BMW - the ones that are not scams are junk or dodgy.

That and the fact the car is advertised as Devon yet photographed in SW8, London.

It's a scam.

Errr a 4 year old 530d M Sport with that mileage trade books at £15k. One wont go for £12k this side of a salvage auction! Where do you get your information from :confused:

In fairness it absolutely doesn't.

Not that it matters. I've got photos of my car in Southampton.

MarkDavis · 13 Aug 2009 at 06:47

Tracy Merryweather. LOL. Car is also deliberately undermileaged / underpriced to tempt some fool.

This is either a super good deal or a really huge scam.

Duke · 13 Aug 2009 at 08:39

Doesn't matter if its a scam - who would buy a BMW with a sub-3.0l engine?

Err, BMW. They book value 4 year old 530d M Sports with 70k miles on the clock at £12.5k.

What they decide to sell them at is another matter mind
