Has anyone else noticed that there are quite a few car ads which are a bit suspiscious?

A while back there were a bunch of flash cars advertised for about a quarter of their market value, and today (without naming names) a 2009 Audi Q7 is being advertised for under QR100k.

Why suspiscious...because of the low prices, and the fact that the phone number or email address looks dodgy.

YES. I EMAILED THE UNDER 100K Q7 GUY? ASKING HIM WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT THAT IT COULD BE SELLING AT LESS THAN HALF THE NEW VALUE AFTER LESS THAN 4000 KM...AND RECEIVED THIS EXPLANATION:

"The car is in excellent condition, no damage, never involved in any accidents, no scratches, garage kept. It is working properly.I am the first owner of the car. I am from London , United Kingdom. I have a company here in United Kingdom and I've made businesses on Qatar and this car was used only for driving in Qatar where I've had some stores. Here in London I have a car with the steering weel on the right side so I do not use the car here. The car is registered in Qatar , I didn't registered in United Kingdom and all the papers are ok. Now I closed the stores from Qatar and I do not need anymore the car so for the sale it goes.The car will be shipped by a company from United Kingdom to your country. I will pay for shipping and insurance so you don't have to worry for more expences. The car will arrive to you in about 2-3 days and you will have 3 days to inspect it before take the decision to buy it or not."

....SO THE CAR IS REGISTERED IN QATAR BUT WILL BE SHIPPED FROM LONDON!?????

GO FIGURE.

There is an option to flag an advert as "spam/scam". If you think it is, hit it and it will get reviewed.

You can also use the contact form to report abuse.

yes I saw the ad of the Q7 and I laughed, I think they eitehr forgot the "1" beside the 93, or I guess its a vehicle that need to be purchased from abroad, usually these are scam and I don't really believe it...so be careful!
