I don't know that much about car values, but it seems to me there are a load of cars on there that are being advertised for stupid prices...

eg: This one

What on earth is all that about? Is it about to explode, or has it been "borrowed without permission"/TWOC :p
 
That seller isn't a genuine - he/she is a scam artist.

I would have thought typo, only the price is mentioned again in the comments. Super dodgy. Perhaps you go to view the thing then get bundled into the back of a van and get gang raped by a bunch of Nigerian scammers until you give them your bank details, card and PIN ;)
 
Looks like a scam, there's loads of them on AT and PH classifieds.

"OK Sir, if you can wire the monies for deposit, I will hold on to the car!" :D My mind is boggling as to what sort of scam it could be tbh. I'm very intrigued. Not intrigued enough to call them though.

It seems you can't get away from scammers these days :(
 
I mailed the aforementioned address with another one... it's just crazy how greed can override common sense in some people.
 
Great - nice to see there's a proactive attitude on there, unlike Fleabay where scammers go practically unchecked :(
