Couldn't the car seller and the plate seller be the same person?

I think in this case it's deliberate Carsale doesn't have any means to report fraudulent ads!


Sure you can report dodgy ads on CarSales, albeit I have no idea whether they are responsive or follow up at all? That said, if enough of us report along similar lines then perhaps that might cause some action to be taken?

Note Report this ad link thing on the left hand side toolbox

When one clicks on that link the following pop up appears that includes a range of reasons for reporting, including suspicious (what seems most likely for reporting this apparent fake Cooper S)

Don't waste your time reporting. I reported a dodgy Choke in Gold Coast being advertised as a '71 Moke a couple of times as it was relisted. I only got one acknowledgement email and they never took any action.

You want action, got to the cops or DOT.

Do we need to start a folder for faked cars?
I have seen a Mini K - YG2S1 restamped as a Mk2 Cooper S YG2S4.
The thing that gave it away was the high body number. Had all the S bits.
I will have to see if I can find the photo.

I think it is unreasonable to expect car sales etc to cancel an ad just coz someone contacts them and says its a fake. In the end it is buyer beware.

"Someone" is probably better off making a complaint to the police and let them deal with it...
