I've found what looks to be an amazing looking caravan

Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/152279585930

But it looks too cheap £4300 for a 2008 sterling Europa 650 with extras.

The add says must include a phone number

The price just looks far too cheap.

There's another one same year etc for £9000+

What do people think

Thanks
Marc

there are a lot of flood damaged caravans about that are for sale that have been dried out, you would need to do a cris check on it to see if it was written off,or it may never have been insured in the first place.

That's one thing I hadn't thought of

I found another model recently but the seller wanted a mobile number for contact

Then I get a text with an email address from 0000. Weird

Looks like a scam, have a look at the motorhome they have for sale.

the reg number is for a vw transporter registered in Birmingham, but take alook at the username of lia Finnegan, irish! perhaps a traveller? then look at the other items they are selling, a motorhome,a tracked jcb digger a tranny van and this caravan, best thing I would say is don't contact them at all and leave this well alone

Any half price caravan on ebay is a scam. They appear on a daily basis. Same caravan pictures different scam listings.

I was looking at Motorhomes on EBay the other night and there was a group of very nice ones al at roughly half the price I would have expected. All of them were in London from the same seller, all had very short descriptions and all asked for a mobile number to be left. All shouted SCAM loudly.
