Their posts are very random, have nothing to do with the thread they post on, and they have links in their signature for selling stuff unrelated to new beetles.

I smell spam? Or maybe just quick to judge. Either way.

I've noticed the same person too responding to threads without making any sense.
He also has numerous links posted along the bottom of his posts, and they are all different.
Definitely seems like spam/virus material.

Report the posts if you think they are spammers. You can write in the box and say that you think they might be and to monitor the posts. The admins will probably get that easier than this thread...they don't seem to hang around reading threads much.

Goes for anyone you are suspicious of. Even if they aren't super obvious, reporting doens't get them instantly banned so you can explain yourself in the box for reporting. I usually do that...I'll say something like "bumping old threads" or "links to *insert website* that don't seem to be relevant". Its usually obvious but some of the spammers are getting better.
