Definitely not an Eclat/Excel.
Odd how the obvious can be missed.

Sounds dodgy, hopefully I'm wrong but some inaccuracies and spelling mistakes......
Edit, I've had a good look around and also searched the images for previous posts elsewhere and it comes up good. Sometimes the way that sale sites are configured can throw up anomalies like this. It looks a good car, good luck to the seller and new owner.

Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.

It's the same as this one advertised on our very own forum just over a week ago, by someone with only 4 posts.

The couple of typos I don't think are suspicious, after all the text clearly looks like someone who knows what they're writing about, and if someone dodgy were to create a fake advert they wouldn't get that much correct without copying and pasting from a genuine advert, in which case they'd copy and paste it carrying over whatever typos may have been there from the original advert.

It is odd that he's got the correct model in the listing on here, but it's in as Eclat Excel on the other listing.

Maybe just an auto complete sort of thing without it being amusing :D

I'd never post anything that I could be ridiculed by. And anything amusing is an accident. :D
