My car has been on autotrader for 2 days, and i have had 10+ spam e-mails, so i have had it removed, and jumped the price up to £6000 cause i felt i was under selling the car ! I know the market is pants but if it doesn't sell i don't have a problem with that :)

Anyway enjoy:

I can assure you every single one is a scam or spam. I will tell you why. 1st thing is every subject title reads 1996 VOLVO 850 2.3 CD Turbo 5dr Auto Estate, second the advert states the car is mint, and yet people want to know the condition, thirdly is "finall asking price" and 4th none of them can bloody spell.

You have been warned
