    one other way to spot its a scam is white lines above and below the pictures, which the scammer has cut and pasted the real car into his/her ad.

    i wonder how much money carzone.ie is making out of scammers adds.

    Anyway, back to topic.
    I have a 02 320 touring that i am genuinely afraid to go near any dealer with, because i'll probably hit him with is trade-in offer.

    Thats if i have job security to even go look for a upgrade in the first place.:(

    did you report him?

    there's a button on the page to report problems with adverts.

    i just reported him anyway so hopefully one less gullible idiot will get scammed because of it.

    Might people importing a car put an ad up for a similar car at a much lower price. They could then show this to the revenue commisioner and use it as evidence when they are trying to get a lower OMSP?

    was out at BMW garage today picking up my 06 320d SE which i bought in June for 29.5k, there is now a 07 320d SE there, less miles for 29k 5 months later, so they are dropping quite alot, i dont think anything though on the scale of the indo article, from what i can see...
