Not enough details, but am sure some eagle-eye bod can tell a lot from the pics available:

Air freshener hanging on the steering column is a bad sign.

When Earth and Jupiter are at their closest to each other they are 628,743,036 million km apart. At their most distant from each other they are 928,081,020 million km apart

Maybe a bit of the way there and back

Usually these 'to good to be true' prices on gumtree are, had two that flagge dup alarm bells as soon as I contacted them.. In the forces and you can't come see it as it's on base, owner abroad, blah blah..

Though, you never know.. This one could be legit, but it's damn cheap.

I guess the few pics and almost no details says a lot

But if its legit, no harm in checking it out if in the area.

Does the forum have any volunteers who have signed-up to a "I'll check it out for others if in the area" panel

Most forum members (if not all) are happy to take a look at something local if they have the spare time. It's sometimes a matter of finding who's nearby.
