United Kingdom 2011 Discovery 4 3.0 SDV6 XS Auto Sumatra BlackDiscovery 4

few years ago when I was first looking for a D3/4 to replace the 300tdi, I spent weeks persuading autotrader to be a little more vigilant ... the scrotes started by having an email address in the description, which autotrader were reasonably quick about sussing out but they moved to one of the pictures having it in there.

always got a response like this ...

Hello there,

I am glad to hear that you are interested to buy my 2012 Land Rover Discovery 3.0 SDV6 255 HSE 5dr Auto Diesel!
Although I am registered in the UK,i recently moved to Cadiz, Spain (where my family is from) and the car is being shipped from here. I want to sell it in UK due to the fact that it's an UK version (right handed),it meets all UK standards.I bought this car from UK and It still has UK registration, so you won't have to pay any import and insurance fees.The car meets all United Kingdom guidelines so there will be no problem regarding UK Customs policy on receiving the car.The car is in perfect condition, the bodywork is immaculate,no scratches, dents or hidden defects as well as the interior in excellent non-smoking condition , never been implied in any accident and it is as advertised .The car comes with log book, HPI cleared, No finance. You will get from me the keys and all documents to register the car in your name.If the car is not how i described it, i will offer a full refund. It will be insured during transportation and will be delivered at your address in maximum 10 days.Final price is GBP 15,400 (the price includes shipping and insurance fees).The price is low because the car is right hand drive in a country where all cars are left hand drive so in Spain is very difficult to drive this type of vehicle and nobody wants to buy it here in Spain.Instead of keeping it in garage (during this economical crisis), I decided to sell it to someone back in the UK for a really attractive price.
I want to take this opportunity to assure you that this deal is 100% legitimate,the deal will be manage by a well known company,in this way both buyer and seller are 100% covered during the steps of this transaction.

Let me know if you need any further details or if you would like to buy my car.

Thank you!



I used to string them along for days, saying how my mate lived in Spain could he come and see it or I was going there on business etc. ... whilst feeding info to autotrader. scummers were in Huddersfield area I think.

There seems to be quiet a bit of this scamming on eBay. I have often noticed cars advertised for well below there RRP. I saw a programme on the trek the other day that said that a lot of the car scams involved stolen vehicles that had cloned documents and VIN numbers etc. People weren't finding out until they tried to register the cars to find out that the owner of the real vehicle or even another duped buyer had blocked the transfer of ownership as they still had one of the vehicles in there possession.

Eventually there was a lead to an address between Bradford - Kieghley it turned out to be a po box address....with no way of going further.
The police met a dead end...,the people who were running a load of PO boxes eventually wouldn't budge on giving more data claiming discrimination & filed a complaint against the police.

Seems a joke that our police cannot even pursue such a crime to that extent. I once had a 3 year old BMW stolen that I had left parked outside a country pub over night. I still had the key so can only assume that they had trailered it away. The car was never seen again and although I reported it to the police, not once did they even bother to ask me any questions after my initial call to report the theft. Seems they are to happy to just give out a crime reference number to save their own time investigation crimes these days
