The real seller knows that this is a fake ad. The REAL ad ($60K)can be found on carsales on this link if if works:
http://www.carsales.com.au/all-cars/...d=11EBACC282AB At least he knows about this one and says that there are other fake ads too. Too bad these grubs cannot earn their keep like most people do.

A GS was a GS, similar to an XR today. A Fairmont was a... well a Fairmont, similar to a Fairmont or G6E.

We asked him if the engine had actually been called “Seagull” and how that came about. “Actually it was just call “Gull”, because I named it that. Because we knew it was going to poo on everything”. |

With a click of a few buttons from drive that obvious fraud could be removed.
Someone has actually reported it right?? Prob several times already I bet. Yet it is still there. What a joke. |

A friend of mine (yes, I DO have one, thank you) was caught by same scam on trading post website. Was a cheap Yaris email only, phone not working.
Sent email (was an AOL address), reply was "I am in England, but car is in Australia. Its cheap as Im getting a divorce, please send me your full name and address. I am a Trading post verified seller so you can pay via trading post with safety." Luckily Trading post contacted her and advised her of the scam, and pulled the ad. |
