Only 18 minutes into a day sale and its gone up from £0.99 to £159 then numerous bids over the next few hours taking it to £3000 with 6 days to go. I suspect the seller has had his mates round for Xmas and they've been sitting round the fire with a few tinnies banging in bids

Highly suspicious

PS Gotta be worth it for the ABS brakes though. Another EBay clown !!


Only gone up another £100 in nearly a couple of days. His mates must have gone home after Xmas :lol: :lol:

It would be far easier if he decided on a price and stuck to it everywhere (even allowing for sensible offers, like 99p)...... there's nowt worse than half a dozen adverts for the same thing, all at different prices, and all saying different things.

Doesn't fill me with any confidence :?

...oh, and a 2006 Freelander destined for the jungles of The Gambia - 4500 miles across roads, desert and tracks - what could possibly go wrong?

Still sitting at £3100 after that initial flurry of activity :shock:

I wonder why the bidding has stopped all of a sudden ?

87,000 miles, 'never been out in the rain' & based in the UK.
Those 3 conflict each other. It is impossible to do that many miles in the UK without getting caught out by our unpredictable weather.

It's ended :!:

"This listing was ended by the seller because the item is no longer available"

But don't despair, the car is back for sale at £0.99 at Nina's bargain shop :roll:
