There is a Cooper S for sale on Carsales.com.au ad number SSE-AD-2545977 which is a fake - beware. As best that I can determine the build plate is a deluxe but I stand corrected on that point. As well the owner is quoting Vin 4281. Build Plate YKG2S2 4281 was sold on ebay some time ago, plate only no vehicle. |

Not passing comment over whether this is a re-birthed car or not! Sellers details are Contact Name Stuart Suburb Toowoomba Location QLD Postcode 4350 Mobile number 0407 123 992 Comments: "Totally restored 2013. First registered Nov 2013. New engine, new upholstery in fact everything is new. Located in Toowoomba. Priced to sell. I also have 3 other mini Coopers to sell. Its been a hobby of mine for a lifetime but time to move on." I am suddenly not very interested in anything he has to sell! I am sure someone here will pass this on to the Qld Police to investigate! https://www.crimestoppersqld.com.au/cri ... vSRtX8aySN Re-birthing, intention to obtain a financial advantage by deception.....all these things come to mind! |

I do believe that this site doesn't allow the reporting of bad business behaviour. It's buyer beware, when you get stung we all come together saying 'oh poor you'. edit http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll ... 1108225092 |

I just looked at add, all a bit vague but you'd have to be a bit soft in the head to try and fake a car at that price. You'd have to expect close scrutining, not to mention checking of numbers. Nothing to do with this actual car but, what's the go if you, say, buy a car YOU think is 100% legit, then try to sell it on as that, only to find out it's fake? Is everone suppose to be a expert? |
