Does he have to sell it at that price now?

Firestar_3x · 14 Sep 2007 at 12:37

No because he doesn't own the car, some other poor bloke does

Ex-RoNiN · 14 Sep 2007 at 12:38

You mean its stolen? How can you tell?

Burned_Alive · 14 Sep 2007 at 12:38

Either that or his missed a 1 off, but even then no.

No, someone has taken a picture from google, stuck it on pistonheads with an e-mail address and no doubt will ask for a deposit before you view, you won't ever see him, the car or your money ever again.

No you don't have to sell something at its advertised price. Advertising doesn't form a contract and price is only agreed when accepting a contract.

Who the hell would ever agree to that?!

Well lets think.

How about anyone who buys a car off e-bay for starters, usually sellers say, deposit needed blah blah blah.

Load of people are mugs about stuff like this.

ebay I can understand. I wasn't aware pistonheads was, sorry. I assumed it was like auto trader, they were classified ads.

Problem with pistonheads as i can see it is no-one seems to be watching over it, loads of these scams have come up recently.

Hmmm, hopefully nobody will be that dumb. eBay I can understand as you have bid and won, pistonheads is simply a classified site so you haven't bought it unless you have agreed to buy it. I imagine in this case, though, someone would think "oooo £3.5k, I'll take it without looking at it" ... if that's what you mean then yes I can see that there would be some mugs who would go along with it.
