Lee-Bmth Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 So ive placed my Z on autotrader, and received a text message from a website called www.sales-autotrader.com with a unique purchase id number, i can enter into their site lol, offering me almost the full asking price, smells to me! Anyone heard of this before? Seems legit pmsl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjcdeans Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 prob not a complete scam, just would imagine similar to we buy any car. They look like they give u a decent price and shaft u later on, admin fee's, small scratches etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LRF4N Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 I had a text from this website as well. Site looks pretty good so I was intrigued. Did a google search to see if it was legit but nothing came up This was last week, just checked now again and a few people are talking about it. It's also on autotrader's security page http://www.autotrader.co.uk/articles/2013/01/cars/safety-and-security-warning-3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
