Im in the market for a small cheap van until my car lease runs out next year and I go for something bigger to hold onto for longer.

I've been scouring Gumtree and autotrader constantly and I saw an ad on Gumtree last night that ticked all the boxes. Right price, low mileage, full service history, tax and mot.

Sent the guy a text to ask a couple of questions. His replies are a bit cagey so I googled his number. Looks as though he's a pretty regular car seller despite appearing to be a private seller. He's also given me an address to see the van and its a car repair place in a pretty dodgy area.

Typing that out has probably answered my question, but does this sound dodgy? Heard horror stories of dealers masquerading privately, and the fact its a body shop is even more concerning
