Apparently my car's for sale

The picture where the Evo is parked on the grass is my car.
http://autotrader.com/findacar/image...record=1&#main

Link to actual listing: http://autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.jsp?car_id=163026464

My friend took the pic and he does car photography as a side business. He also owns the copyright to that picture. Kinda weird to see your car up for sale though .

No, it lives in Texas with me. As for the copyright, that's for the photographer to pursue if he feels like it. Someone actually posted the ad on a Ford board I frequent . Let's hope I've converted another .

It is most likely a fraudulent advertisement. Scammers have been stealing images from all over the internet to populate their fake ebay auctions and car ads.

The individual above who stated the car is probably in London, was alluding to the scammers scheme. The cars they 'sell' are never located in the US and they always come with free shipping.

You should probably report the ad to Autotrader before some innocent individual gets scammed....then comes looking for you after he realizes who really owns the car in the picture.

one of my friends was lookin to buy a supra. he found a bad *** lookin one on autotrader.com, the same as this evo. the seller was located overseas. supposedly the seller was ditchin the car because funds for his new restraunt were runnin low so he was makin a mad scramble for cash. he was requesting 3g's down on the car and wanted it wired to an overseas account. NEVER wire that money! once the money goes into that account you mine as well wave goodbye to it bc you're out 3g's and dont plan on receiving that car either.

Ah, the only ones I have seen were in Rome. I think every picture in the ad is taken from the Weightless White picture thread in the Evo Show and Shine section here.
