A bit too good to be true?

Hello guys, i have seen this 4.2 supercharged on ebay for the last few weeks, i have texted the guy but no response.
The year, mileage and engine for the price...seems a bit too good to be true in my opinion.

I have done a hpi check, comes back clean, but the number plate was used in 2008, sold...the used again last year?
I queried this in the text...but no response.
What do you think?

With zero feedback and a member since 2019 I would be wary. It could be genuine but I wonder what would happen if you rang the mobile number? Maybe a scam number where you pay £10 a minute. 2012 5.0 SC AB

Must have been on sale for a while as it say's "ready to enjoy for the winter" Unless I am mistaken, the winter is almost over

Usual life philosophy which is what you say...if it is too good to be true, then........... Everything about this screams to leave well alone. I reckon it is a trader or a scam, either way don't get involved. Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.

Agree with Godders. Walk away. Your own post shows your doubts.

It says “recent new MOT to September 2019”, so this implies it was listed last October or November maybe.

The Ferrari, the house... it’s all a great ruse or could be a bargain. I would go for it BUT not transfer a penny until documentation has been checked, VIN matched etc. I would also expect to view the car at the address photographed.

Definitely worth more investigation. L405 P400e Autobiography (MY2020)... Silicon Silver / Espresso
RRS TDV6 HSE Lux (MY2011)... Nara Bronze / Arabica - now gone!

I’d stay clear, he’s pulling the wool! He says no advisories on the last MOT, he’s not telling porkies per se, but it was a retest after it failed for brake pipe corrosion. The same corrosion it was picked up on advisories 2 years earlier!! It’s only done 6000 mikes in the last 4 years, how many of them were because it was off road. I suspect the seller is part time trader moving on a lemon. Check the MOT history on line. 2012 5.0 SC AB

Just playing devil’s avacado:

If it was a lemon like this then the seller would be swarming every enquiry in the hope of shifting it.

I am wondering if this car was owned by a director of Ultima Displays Limited, Corby. Given the number plate... call me Miss Marple...

Definitely worth some enquiries I think! Especially if other buyers are equally risk averse, you may get a bargain. L405 P400e Autobiography (MY2020)... Silicon Silver / Espresso

Agree with Brit Plumber who raises the risks. Buy cheap and unknown and repent at leisure. These are not cheap to keep on the road in good condition. There are plenty around at less risk if you search online.

As father Jack states, a good one is hard enough and costly to keep in tip top condition. The reason no one is swarming is because everybody else is suspicious. If it is as good as they say then why the ridiculous price tag ? With these vehicles to buy, be patient and check everything, what information is known about this car is suspect and shows that the whole truth isn't forthcoming in the advert. Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.
