Sorry if its a repost

i swear this car was sold a year ago but there are a lot of posers in the world so i dont know...

It says Buy It Now for $6,000 US. Kinda makes me think this is some kind of scam.

If it is true, then someone should buy it, and part it out. They would definately get there money back, plus some.

VIN Number 11111111111111111111

Nice ...

not to mention

*GReddy T618Z Turbo Kit (Boost: 5.6psi, Stock: 202.2whp@8200RPMs, GReddy 260.9whp@7800RPMs, Stock: 125Ft/lbs@5650RPMs, GReddy: 176.3Ft/lbs@5600RPMs)


Those are sad numbers ....

Robert parted off the whole car already!! Whats going on here? Everything has been sold.??

I just noticed that too... at first I thought maybe it was from Japan, but it's LHD

Naw, with such *unique* VIN number, it must be a very *unique* scam ... I mean car :rollingla :rofl: :wiggle:

bid history is full of "Bidder18" and "Bidder23" id's

VIN is fake

Buy it now for 6k

....and the seller only accepts cash or cashier's check



SCAM!

that thing looks FUGLY.

The reason that it says Bidder 18 and numbers like that is because Ebay protects bidders from scams, but it also makes it more difficult to know for sure if it is a scam. This is almost definately a scam because of how low it started at with now reserve, but the bidder ID doesn't guarantee it.

260 whp sounds about right for a greddy turbo with emanage blue..

yeah, $6,000 for a Buy it now, no one in their right mind would do that. Anyone who bids deserves to be ripped off.

good job

don't be a pussy this guy seems legit :lol2:

seller has zero feedback too

another good sign

It has to be a scam - not a registered user with zero feedback and low price. I sent him an email asking him to take some more pictures and send them to me - one of the pictures has to have a Pepsi can on top of the hood to prove he actually owns the car. What do you bet I never hear from him.

the kit looks nice from those angles =x

Scam, not to mention the whole page is a link to his email, thats a little weird...

I sent him a message asking when I can check the car out in person, and this is the response I got from eBay.....looks like his bluff got called..

"Our records indicate that you received an email from bennman13 through our Contact eBay Member or Ask Seller a Question feature. Please be aware that the email might contain a fraudulent offer to purchase or sell an item outside of eBay. We recommend not responding to the sender because the email might be an attempt to obtain your email address.

If you have already completed a transaction with a person who has asked that you take the transaction outside of eBay or if you are a seller who has already shipped an item to the buyer and the transaction was completed outside of eBay, we suggest you take the following steps:

1. Contact the payment service that you used to make the purchase. If you paid by credit card, most card issuers provide consumer protection in online fraud cases.

2. Please complete the Item Bought Outside of eBay form or the Item Sold Outside of eBay form. To access these forms, go to:

http://pages.ebay.com/help/tp/isgw-fraud-non-ebay.html

Click the "Item Bought Outside of eBay form" or the "Item Sold Outside of eBay form" link. Enter your information in the following page and then click the "Submit" button. The information you provide will allow us to work more effectively with law enforcement in case an investigation occurs.

3. If you were the seller and shipped the item to a fraudulent buyer, contact the shipping carrier that you used because the company may be able to assist you further. If you sent the item through the U.S. Postal Service, file a mail fraud claim. To do so, please visit:

To protect your email and your eBay account, we recommend that you follow these safety tips:

- Do *not* respond to the sender either through the eBay system or your email account. An offer to buy or sell an item outside of eBay is against our policies, might be fraudulent, and will not be covered by eBay protection programs.

- If you received what appears to be a Second Chance Offer for an item that you recently bid on, check My Messages to confirm whether the offer is legitimate. Valid Second Chance Offers appear in My Messages with a blue background and a subject stating, "eBay Second Chance Offer for Item...." If you receive a Second Chance Offer directly in your personal email and it is not in My Messages, that means it is not a legitimate offer. If a Second Chance Offer appears in My Messages with a subject line of "Message from eBay Member," it is not a legitimate Second Chance Offer. Before responding to a Second Chance Offer, make sure it contains both the blue background in My Messages and the subject line of "eBay Second Chance Offer for Item.."

- Never pay for an eBay item using instant cash, wire transfer services such as Western Union or MoneyGram. It's against the eBay Accepted Payments policy for a seller to request payment using these methods. They are unsafe, especially if you're paying someone whom you don't know.
