It says the car is in germany so I'm sure its one of those deals where the guy will be like send me a cashiers check for the full price and I will ship you the car... car never comes and his e-mail address gets deleted... and I'm pretty sure my bank would laugh at me if I tried to get them to give my money back after falling for it.

Fun away from that bid...fast, unless you can 100% verify that it isn't a scam.

The car is from SAN BERNARDINO, CA. VIN checks out good. The only thing I dont like is that the auctions says it is located in Germany. Anyone report it yet

c'mon you ever heard of anything saying.. e-mail me before you bid or i will cancel.. Gee that sounds pretty freaking friendly.. Not to mention.. c'mon for that price.. nobody buys an evo for that price unless it's wrecked.. I'm 99.9% sure it's a scam.. the .1% comes into play if he's a drug dealer and just wants to get rid of the car because it's hot as Fudge..

The VIN could be from a legit car, having pictures doesn't mean you own it..

Yeah if it's not some sort of 'Im from another country' scam then chances are he is a drug dealer / it's stolen.

there are a million listings of different vehicles/motorcycles and whatever that are all a scam. Anytime you see a listing thats got huge font like that and says contact me at BLAH@Blah.com is 100% ALWAYS a scam. I ebay a lot and there are tons and tons of these retards!

Its always fun to hope that someone could be that F'n dumb; however ebay will have the listing deleted before its even over usually. So many to delete for them... what a waste of ebay i think.
