Brilliant use of my pictures.. LOL

Also, if I remember correctly, he/she has used one of Whiteley's too?

Awesome ad.

 

[Adam.]

So do you currently own the car?

 

[Nickson]

So do you currently own the car?

Yes, I was just making the point that 2 of my pictures have been used to advertise another car.

 

[Dave..]

I'd be having words with him about that. Some one on here messaged me years ago about a lad on his Facebook. Apparently he'd got hold of a picture of my clio and was bragging about "his" new car. The guy wouldnt tell me the lads name so I couldnt dish out any abuse. Gutted.

 

[Adam.]

Just report it then. Are they on your flickr etc? if so then put a link to it in it.

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Report to eBay?!

I hate eBay.

What an utterly stupid advert from start to finish.

 

[Ray Gin]

But a word of warning - this is a car that could get you into serious trouble. True, it will stay on the tarmac thanks to the new sports-tuned chassis and suspension, specially-designed Dunlop tyres and new Brembo brakes, but it will attract the attention of the boys in blue and you could trigger speed cameras just as you slip into third gear.

What a f**king idiot, lol.

Report it mate.

Only reason I can think why he'd use someone else's photos is if he's got something to hide.

 

[mharvey]

To be fair it could just be a case of the cars in good nick but his photography is appalling (not saying that makes it right) but also could be a case which I've heard happen before where they put pics up, you go to view the car, there is no car but instead a man with a knife who wants the few thousand ££££ that you took to buy it.
Definitely report it

possible ex-bodgered repair job :Shence use of similar cars pic's; common trick on ebay for smashed/ bashed then "repaired" cars

 

[Daz.]

Yours must look like a cat D then

 

[LiamR172]

Email him and ask for some more photos of the actual car and see what he sends

 

[Sunglasses_Ron]

Send the boys round with balaclavas and baseball bats.

 

[steviem]

Maybe he did a search for pictures on google and they appeared and he liked them so used them as they were better than his own pics?
I'm sure if you host piks on certain websites they can appear in google search images?

 

[danward]

Send him a message praising his photography skills, see what he comes back with.

 

[Ash']

we should all just ask for more photo's, give him some abuse see what he can come up with.

Isn't that first interior shot a Renault Media photo? Lol

 

[msa197]

[LiamR172]

Any reply?

The second shot of the interior is on google, from a gumtree advert

 

[Jakey92]

Hahaha what a F*cking douche

 

[msa197]

Did admit in his emails that most of the pics are library ones!

LOL nice find, no wonder so many people hate selling privately now-a-days, that advert doesn't even suggest there's damage...

If you read the first 2 lines, he says that there was damage but it has now been repaired...

To be fair, it's not very obvious and is very easy to miss. Haha ;D Stupid seller.

 

[LiamR172]

Hes ended the auction

 

[Austin-182]

This happened to me before also, a picture of my car was used on the ebay advert.

 

[msa197]

Emailed him to ask why he removed it.

Said hes going to realist it with the correct pictures.

Maybe he got a few to many comments as to his library photos!
