Well it is a legal contract once you bid, the advertised price is contracted as well.

Well, it says "new" and 0 miles, but it's a someone's house and they have a license plate, so... If it is a legit auction even for a used evo, it'd be a good deal. Anyone have a carfax subscription and want to check the vin?


edit: oh, I forgot to add the old saying, "if it sounds too good to be true..."

Thats weird...

I was going to say, maybe the wife is trying to get back at her cheating husband.


"Oh, by the way, hon- when you were at work I sold your Evo to some nice young man on Ebay for $12,500."

The listing does say:

"Seller accents2003 assumes full responsibility for the content of this listing and the item offered."

POsted at the very top of the page....

" Note: This listing is restricted to pre-approved bidders or buyers only. Email the seller to be placed on the pre-approved bidder/buyer list. "

I'm willing to bet that it costs $16,000 to get on the pre-approved bidder/buyer list.

I'm going to attempt to purchase it. If I get it, I'll fly out where ever the car is and inspect it prior to actual purchase. I don't believe it, but if it is the truth, I'll have Evo number 2. =)

Looks like the car is in the desert southwest.

I wouldn't be the least bit surprised.

I emailed to get on the list, but I do agree- there HAS to be a catch.

From: delaware, what state is that in lol !!
i e-mailed the seller and this is what they said

Hello,
I am selling the car so cheap because the car was manufactured for the US market but since I am in Italy it doesen't meets the emission restrictions here so I can't use it or sell it here so I must get rid of it and I am practicly giving it away but I have no other choise. Shipping and insurance of the car will be on me,no extra of hidden charges and the car has a clear US title so you will have no problem with registation. The car has never been in any accidents, no scratches, dents, flaws or andy kind of damage

is the emission standard really higher in italy

SCAM... Here is the email reply I got

Hello,
First you have to know the car is available on eBay,but the bidding/buying is restricted.The reason is that I had too many problems with bidders in the past and since then I am carefully with my auctions. I think that they always like to bid but not all the time like to buy,they just play games.The auction is a buy it now one so,only one person can buy it but for that I will need a proof of his seriousity and that he is available to pay anytime.For that, you need just to be agree with my condition stated below and the car will be yours.
The buy it now price includes shipping and insurance fees.
1. SHIPMENT :
I am currently located in Italy and the car will be shipped from here with by sea with the boat to your nearest port so please tell me what is your nearest port but due to the overwhelming numbers of offers I have recieved I will ask a 999$ deposit to seal the deal.
2. PAYMENT :
I'm a serious seller with experience in this field. I'm a fair trader with a good feedback on eBay which is the proof that l have closed a lot of successful deals.
You will arrange payment through wired transfer (www.westernunion.com).
All you have to do is go to www.westernunion.com and find an local agent near you were you have to go and send the funds.
3. INSURANCE
The car will be insured at the delivery service and insured for the transport.
4. RETURN POLICY
As soon as the car arrives, you will test the car and if it does not matches 100% to your expectations, you will return it in max. 7 days since the arrival date. In this case I will send you the full amount back and you will send me the car in the original crate and you don't have to pay the return shipping and insurance.
If this will be ok with you just email back with your info and tell me what info you need more about the car and the transaction and you will have it.
Sincerely hope to do the transaction.
5. In the 7 days inspection perioud you decide to buy the car send the remainig balance and i will send the car's papers.
