Why is this priced at £1k?

There is a saying. If it’ looks too good to be true, it probably is!

I’m guessing not, but you never know. It’s not using the type of language that a lot of scams adds do.

Someone desperate to get rid.

I reckon Umfan (Barry) with snatch that and break it, if it exists.

On closer read it’s £2450 with the hardtop. Lot of car at that price.

It’s on FB marketplace too - bit sneaky the Autotrader advert though…

I agree. Presumably the £1,000 is for the hardtop alone. AT should take that down as it's misleading.
There are a LOT of potential issues with the car; airbag light, panel damage, suspension noise, Cat N (or D?) etc. All are played down in the description. MOT runs out this week aswell.
Doesn't look like the bargain it appears at first sight

Possibly advertised at £1k to take advantage of the free Autotrader listing.

The Autotrader advert has gone now. Maybe someone reported it?
