What's wrong with it? Nothing about the ad looks dodgy.

Gumtree don't like people putting personal contact details on ads, that is why the "Reply to this advert" button is there. So your only evidence for this being fraud is the low price! Thank fook you aint a copper!

raise:ok to prove it one of you email them saying your interested and would like to by it and let me know what the reply is, it will be something along the lines of
"im sorry im out of the country at the moment but it will be arranged for the car to be delivered to your door free of charge after payment" or something to that tune
I will put my hands up if im wrong

What you have failed to spot is the glaring hole in your fraud premise. Why would anyone put up an ad for a vehicle that does not exist? There is no way of getting payment advance for it through Gumtree, and no person sane enough to possess a driving licence would pay £3900 for a vehicle without making sure that they get what they pay for. I know that fraudsters are not always the brightest people around, but it would take a special kind of stupid to think that someone would not smell a fooking huge rat if you asked for cash up front and insisted on delivering the vehicle without letting the customer see it.
ok so lets say they ask for a small deposit £200 " because i have had lots of interest and its the only way to secure it hehe " that x10 well im sure you can add
and the vehicle does exist but they have stolen the pics from original sale
that filled a hole??
