That car was on Ebay for the longest time! Honestly man be careful. 8k for a car with well over 8k in performance mods alone doesnt sound right! Be careful and good luck!

It's either A) a scam or B) a salvaged vehicle. No evo owner in their right mind would sell a car for that low (unless they're filthy rich and dont give a f**k). As they say, if it's too good to be true, it probably is.

There is one born every minute.....

SCAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lemme guess this car is on E-bay?

This car sold for I believe $42,000 six months ago. It was an HKS demo car or some such nonsense.

Someone just downloaded the pics and made a false re-listing. They will take as many "Non-Refundable" deposits as possible and RUN.

You are being SUCKERED. DO NOT BUY THIS CAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

well this is wat most "good scammers" do..they "hi-jack" someone elses account that have really great feedback and cannel the money to thier account then send you a magazine or pic of a car just to get a tracking number through fedex, dhl or ups so that you would know that your product is "coming" when in real time it isnt the right product.

Is the guy selling this car from Idaho? Because there is a guy from Idaho with the exact same car? He bought it off of ebay and finally just got it tuned I believe.

Yeah its a scam. If you ask him how you can pay for the car he is going to say that he is in another country and to western union the money. He will say the car is in the states, but he is overseas and that he will get the car to you with shipping paid and everything. Then you can keep if for so long before you have to keep it. It sucks I know, but its becoming a normal thing.

UUUUMMMMM...not if the car does not exist genius......

This is how it works:you send the money, they take it, you get no car, BECAUSE THERE IS NOT ONE!!!!!

Since they are offshore in another country you loose the money.....They laugh at you because you fell for it. You go cry like a baby

I emailed this person 2 days ago- prolly the same email message!
Shows the car as being 31 miles from my zip code- which made me look, because I do not recognize this car. Emailed them back a second time and have not gotten a response yet..... if I do, I'll let ya'll know

I've gotten email responses very promtly from the seller. What he suggests (and believe me, I am VERY skeptical about this too, I'm not one to jump on something like this to easily) is to use an escrow service. Nothing is due before I see the car. So if I can see the car and drive it first to know it's legit, then it seems like a steal.
