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.

Was the XY Fairmont available as a GS, thought that was a Falcon option only?

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. |
