Well it's the regular scam and needs reporting to Autotrader. I'm amazed by now they don't have some sort of software in place to weed these out.

My immediate thought was scam, as many things are these days but i'm more inclined to think it's a misprint.

Bit scarce on description.

There's a postcode on the link Cheddar, might be worth removing unless you've taken that into 'account'.

What.... with 10 cars massively underpriced and a contact email address superimposed on the images!

My first thought was a misprint. Sticking a 1 in front would be about right.

Then I saw the others.

Cheddar,

I still had your original link - I can confirm it must now have been removed by Autotrader. I can still access it via a cached version but no idea on how to post this on the tread.

Doesn't make any difference removing the postcode from an Autotrader link - it should still work. Alternately use one of the ones they offer for people who browse from overseas.
