I think this add is one of it?

I agree 100% went through all his posts and he is also selling an accord cf3 with no mention of price, pic and location is gulberg. I think gulberg is generally referred to the one in lhr while this person is in karachi

Hi everyone.

There's a new scam which uprooted recently on a lot of website and in the last two days has attacked PakWheels as well.

The scammer posts an advertisement for a car by creating a thread. It is mostly one of the 4,5 major European brands i.e. BMW, Mercedes, Audi, mostly less than 5 years old.

The things which strike you first are :

[LIST]
[*]New UserID, freshly created, mostly with less than 10 posts and less than a couple of days old at PW.
[*]Foreign License Plate
[*]Photos from outside Pakistan
[*]Unbelievably low price tag
[/LIST]

You are told that the car has been recently imported and has been cleared from customs and all you need to do is to get it registered on your name.

What actually happens is that you pay the token money and never hear from the person ever again.

Please beware. Kindly report if you see such an advertisement by pressing Report Abuse button.

There's a way around this issue: Dont pay any token money, first check the vehicle's condition, the documents, the engine/chassis nos and if satisfied then take advantage of the "unbelievably low price tag" by paying in full!.

I have not seen anywhere a law in Pakistan that a car cannot be sold under a certain price.

All of you are talking in open market, making your own guess about car value. There is no Kelleybook value in Pakistan. there is no official website which states a stock car's price or depreciated price by law.

To talk so boldly about anyone selling lower than a given price you should have a written back up about actual depreciated price of a stock car.

and there is none!
only word of mouth. and a lot of word of mouth in open market.

i can do this, i can do that, i can get this cheaper, that is not right, this must be wrong.

all this without any written official backup found in Pk and no protection from salvage cars.

In general there is too much discussion and very less outcome.

one thing more happens that when u give ad on website for sale of car which is located in karachi u start having calls from faisalabad for ur car and he purchases car on faque cheque or pay order.i also had a call from faisalabad for my car ad on olx website so be aware from this also

^ Hard to survive in a country without laws..huh?

Cant do anything the simple way.everything turns into a mess because people just dont care about the concequences of breaking the laws.

[usman666]

thank you for the information

[Rajpoot]

whrs the link? i think i did see afew merc posted way blow normal price tag but then why would u pay token money bfr seeing it and verifying all paper work, details car.

my deal is if u dont like somthing walk away no matter how much of a bargin it may sound.

Some of those adds with price way much less then normal Market price are because those cars has not reached our shores yet. It means the importers are selling there with bill of landing (B/L) so price includes only price of car with there profit and no custom. So people who are buying them has to pay custom on there own. It's sort of saving there invesment scheme by importers. In the end when buyer buys the car on (B/L), on arrival of car on port he pays the custom on his own. Sometimes I have seen people are getting a good bargain on those deals saving them about 6 - 4 lakhs then there normal market price.
