ZeroX Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago Hi, I have been looking for an S5 and I saw one I liked on the below advert: https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202409204271770 However I have been back on AutoTrader today and this advert has popped up: https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202410295714734 This appears to be the exact same car, but being sold by a different dealer with a higher price and the mileage has changed? What is going on here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cliffcoggin Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago More likely the second seller has simply copied the photo from the first seller's advertisement because he does not have his car yet. (Note the "arriving soon" banner.) Whether that means the cars are one and the same is debatable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroX Posted 2 hours ago Author Share Posted 2 hours ago (edited) How can that possibly be allowed though? For two reasons: 1. Misrepresentation - if you are selling a vehicle and the photo is not the vehicle you possess, surely that can't be allowed? 2. Copyright theft - the photo belongs to whoever took the photograph and or the dealer selling the vehicle. If you are straight up copying the photographs from another advert to promote your own surely that is stealing?
