That's a cheap nova seems solid and in good nick. If I had £1000 i would snap it up

Screams SCAM to me. You can’t buy an absolute tot box for a grand these days.
Very little information in the advert too.

Surely that can’t be genuine? I’d expect to see that up at something more like £4995 comfortably, if not more.

1.2 SR replica. So a hash up, but clean, still odd though.

It is a scam. I paid a small deposit, sent a truck to the claimed address to collect a couple of hours ago. The curse word doesn't exist. I had various phone conversations with him prior and he had all the answers.I was suspicious as he was pushing for the money by transfer. Hope he rots in hell.
I have reported it to Autotrader too.

Sorry to hear that, agreed what a piece of poo he is. Apologies if I contributed to the loss.
I searched the image and it came back to a car and classic as which it sold back back in 2019.

Even before reading the comments i thought it was a scam.
Phone number is protected behind another number, no information as to the sellers location, plus the photos are grainy and look copy and pasted.
Sadly £1000 Novas don't exist now, retro tax has put paid to that. This smells very suspect indeed.

Yeah i found the photos too from last year. I asked him,and he said that his phone with recent pics is broken etc. This made me suspicious. I kept on pushing for more pics but more excuses came.
No you didn't contribute mate. I saw the ad on Thursday as soon as he put it up.

Yip, if something seems too good to be true, it usually is.
As I said earlier, very little info in the ad and far far too cheap.
Hope you didn’t lose too much and Karma catches up with the rat.

I've also just reported the ad so hope they act.
That nova will be impossible to genuinely sell now by the true owner.
I have a redtop and gsi seats, what a shame

No it wasn't too bad, just came out of profits I made on another car sale. Yes, agreed karma will catch up with him. |
