Does this seem genuine to you?

Just seen this, and it seems to be a tad cheap for the age/mileage and fuel type (thinking of tax and econ here).

Do you think it's genuine?... would be a good car for the missus.

Smells like a scam, that way too cheap - others similar, spec, age, model are over £8k

edit - oh and the classic "my phones broken, using the dodgy email address in the second pic to contact me" - its a 100% scam

have reported it to Auto Trader

Thanks.... I suspected as much, but have always bought from dealers normally so am a bit wary of Autotrader.

no worries - if it looks too good to be true....it most probably is?

Fancy an A2 - I got a lovely example if I could tempt you....

i`m after a a2 tdi at the moment and saw a very similar ad a few weeks ago on autotrader, i emailed the seller who replied by telling me he is not in the country and the car is being held in storage, so probably the same scam..
