DODGY SALESMAN! BE AWARE!!!

[GTi_James]

just checked piston heads and the adverts been taken down with a fraud warning   

Nice one! 

[JimBR]

From experience if it sounds too good to be true it normally is. A stage 2 car with low mileage for £1700 or whatever it was screams alarm bells to me.

Im glad pistonheads got onto it so quickly.

To be fair, even a man with a white stick can tell the difference between a car thats done 80k and one that's done over double that.

i dissagree i work at vw and we get alot of fleet cars and i bet if i took a well looked after mk6 golf with 150k on the clock and wound it down to 40k you wouldnt be able to tell.

we do all those mobility cars too which litterally have 4k on them after 3 years and they look in worst shape than a average company car. they are covered in dents, clutches juddering and smell of smoke and pi#s

Ignoring the extremely obvious hyperbole.

No matter how well looked after (reasonable maintinence for a normal everyday road car) it is, you get wear and tear signs, that only get worse with age/milage. Just some level of dilligence and cross referencing when buying a car will show up the majority of abused/clocked motors.

My Passat has over 170'000 on and is far better all round than many with half the mileage, even the seats and steering wheel don't show the mileage!
Most Passats on ebay etc show much lower miles but the large majority looked more aged/miled!
