VW a Scam?

Normally I can see why these are scams but on this one,

the advert is also on the volkzone at the same price (but it is a very low price)
there is also a company website (Broken Link Removed) where the contact phone numbers and locations match those on both adverts.

The only negatives on the web site are that this particular van is not listed and viewings are by appointment only.

What am I missing?

On both the price is just too cheap to be true. Compare the VW with this one..

yes - the price does look very wrong but have the scammers got so sophisticated that they have a website (with address and landline phone) and advertise in multiple places at once?

If this is a scam (rather than a van needing lots of work going cheap to be shifted quickly?) then a lot of the indicators such as a new seller with zero feedback no longer are reliable.

Dear duane0001,

Hi Duane,
Thank you for your interest, the motorhome is in perfect condition, hpi clear, mot and tax until October, full service history, very reliable engine, it has nearly done 37000 miles, dry stored over winter months and covered in the summer. Tried to send you more pics before you come inspect but you haven't sent me your e mail or you can reply me at booth41andrew(at)gmail.com, the motorhome is located in Edinburgh and my last price for a fast sale is £6600 including free delivery to your location, just let me know to make inspection arrangements.
Best wishes!
Andrew

where can this be viewed and when is convenient
and on the volkszone website his location is....

Location: surrey near some trees and the a3

not 100% convinced this is a scam.
van has no mot and is an unregistered import, not uk registered and has some body damage.
from his description it doesnt run too well either

I emailed about the same ebay advert and got same email reply
emailed about 3 ebay adverts lately, they all seem to be £10k cheaper than comparable MH's, all try to lure you to buy away from ebay, infact many pull the advert immediately, so leave you no other choice but to go off ebay. and the MH isn't in the location that the advert said it was etc

Glad I've trusted my gut reaction!
