Looks like a scam see

Also mentions Bankers Drafts that are accepted by the bank and later withdrawn!  :shocked:

defo a scam bud.i sold my astra coupe before i got my golf and all i got was emails from all over saying the same thing.i searched on autotrader website and it tells you there that its a scam.they send someone to pick the car up but pay with a very realistic bankers draft which is fake, banks struggle to tell wether its real or not too and then your left with nothing.

Despite what people have said about the 'trader' it sells the cars. When selling my Bug, Scooby, and Coop I had them on the forums and no takers...and they where mint. Put them on the trader and withoin a week they had gone.

If you get any dodgy e-mails then just reply not interested and if they persist then report and block...takes 0.02343 of a second  :grin:

The 'trader' rocks!  :evil:
