Something fishy about this one...

sounds a nobber

 

Why? Has a good variety of pictures, and declares damage with a photo.

 

"Something fishy" ???????????????

Martin from Oxford certainly doesn't use its dictionary clearly.
Absolutely NO disrespect intended but it does remind me of call centres on the sub-continent, where the agents have English names but speak very stilted English.

"99500miles, easy highway mileage BUT you can never tell how can this possible for the great condition of the car. Been looked after seriously, not a single faulty mechnically."

How does he know, because he "changes (his) cars every half year or one, due to wanna experience different cars" ?

And even then he contradicts himself with references to "the parking and crazy traffic in London" and even the "3 hot lap in Nurbergring ! Unbelievable, Nice Car ! Reach 160mph easily on German highway".

And on the basis that the first photo is a race track why isn't his missus wearing a crash helmet?

Anyway, good spot.

PS why isn't the edition number mentioned?

 

What's fishy about it

 

I agree about the pictures and the damage declared but the wording in the advert is terrible.

It reminds me of some of the scams that have been on here before!

It could be a real advert but it would put me off.

 

I would certainly pass on this one.

 

why it seams to me the way it is written that english is not the first language thats all.

i dont think its fishy at all

 

Keep that.

 

It's a lot better written than a lot of posts on here

You also don't need helmets around the ring.

 

Why?

 

Good point

 

ok who would drive 2 hours to change a bulb??
who wld advertise they have driven the car at 160 mph
who wld advertise they have driven 3 hard laps of nurburgring
easy motorway mileage except the 160mph on the german motorway

 

An honest person. My nearest Subaru garage is 50 miles away, it can take an hour each way.

I lived in Germany for many years and took the opportunity to max a few cars but maintain normal motorway speeds 99.9% of the time.

Many cars are advertised as mint or immaculate, at least Martin is honest.

 

Not someone who is trying to attract someone to scam, scams usually involve no car at all, are usually way cheaper as to entice you.

I don't see anything wrong with it other than the colour

 

My point about the helmet concerns common sense.
Even if I wasn't wearing one (which imo would be daft anyway) I'd insist on a passenger having one.

It gave me the impression that the car might have been superimposed on the background, and some of the other pics could have been like that.

Why put up a load of pictures that have clearly been taken at different times ?
