Anyone know the car?

Post by cjm » Tue Jun 23, 2015 9:56 am

Does anyone know this car, a 2003 Lotus Elise s2 1.8, 67k. It seems cheap?

Phone area code is not North Ayrshire/Dalry, background of photos don't suggest it either + they 'can deliver'... I'd suggest scam.

Some advertising providers do not list your actual phone number but display a different number that will re-direct to you, so I would not read too much into the area code. However, the car seems too cheap, and "can deliver" and other details suggest scam to me.

The photos are not recent - taken during the winter months - bit strange but not especially suspicious.

How about you just phone the guy and find out if the car is in Ayrshire or Kendal which is where the area code is for. The phone number is in the advert text so likely it's his own.
If the car is in Ayrshire I am sure someone on here will pop along for a look.
All it will cost you is a phone call, give him a shout and report back :thumbsup

That sounds far too sensible for a car forum! ;)

If it is in Ayrshire I'll go and have a nosy.
