I have just had what sounds like a similar attempt. I received a text message from the number +447447115538 (don't know if that helps anybody but worth mentioning) The message says:

"Citroen S.. still for sale?
We offer £500 GUARANTEED cash and will collect today! Visit http://www.2015-autotrader.com enter PURCHASE ID 529085100"
The link worked took me to another page that sounds similar to the ones previously described, I decided to get on google about it having had a recent near miss on a car scam recently.
Hope this helps shut it down.

New one taken from another forum

They just tried to scam me, sending me a text offering the asking price for a car I have advertised on autotrader.co.uk.

Text was sent from +44 7477 496530.

In the last week I've had 2 texts sent offering me almost the asking price on a car different web addresses but both have the same look and strangely not one review. They are asking for a payment of £75 then arrange a viewing etc... Please avoid also state the options are only valid for 24hrs

cashtoday-autotrader.com
And
.wepaycash-motors.com

After receiving the first one I certainly considered it but thanks to your site didn't take it any further
