An edition 30 to avoid...
« on: May 01, 2013, 09:34:48 pm »
This edition 30 was for sale in the for sale section and sold with mileage of 119k and now has clearly had a trim as is now on 97k..... Busted!!

Who's to say this is just a genuine error? There's no picture of the odometer

Edit, unless you find it inthe for sale section?

Just to clarify Hogster has nothing to do with this as he sold it fair and square, probably the last MOT will be somewhere close to 97k, I'd put money on it!

The reg checks out as an edition 30 in black. Can't check any further without the v5 details.

The original seller should contact Trading Standards asap , these cases are always difficult to prove but with the Details of the advert on here and this ebay ad and to then check the car is showing 97k would make it nearly watertight . The Advantage of checkable mot history now , previously clocking was easy .
Hogster get in there quick  :happy2:
