I'd tell the police and the DVLC at the same time - quite probably a different car on cloned plates

This seems to happen a lot.
When you call Autotrader they seem to know about the scams, so why don't they stop them?
Damn crooks!

Hi,

I was looking for a RS4, but have just noticed your advert. How come the car is so cheap?

Does it have any service history etc? Is it possible to arrange a viewing?

Lol!

I've genuinely had this exact same scam, but on a more reasonably (seemed closer to market value) price Porsche Cayenne before I got mine.

If you reply to the pre-programmed e-mail the next message you get is that you should ( try to imagine in a George Adibong-Bong voice from 'phone jacker ) "send the moneys" and expect delivery of the car to a port eg Dover on a certain date.

Sadly there must be some people out there who will do this!
