so im looking on ebay cars(looking at cars i always dream about) and im on the supra part of it and i see this 97 supra turbo ltd edition for buy it now price of 5400 ?!??!?!

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1997-...QQcmdZViewItem

theres the link, am i missing something? this thing should be like 50-60k, and the seller has 100 percent positive rating with multiple buys and sells...wtf is going on here

 

That is called a highjacked ebay account. The person took over someone else account to scam this car. You notice it says contact them at the e-mail address they give before bidding?? Also take a look at the other items the person sold before. It is sunglasses and vintage type items. I would stay far away from this unless you like giving your money away.

 

o no im not gonna bid on it by anymeans

so ur saying the hijacker owns this car and is just trying to get rid of it ?

 

No, he's saying the hijacker doesn't own that car but is trying to own you outside of ebay.

 

^+1 too good to be true, usually is. Sad to see soo many scams nowadays, but they look more and more real/authentic each time.

Be careful.

 

Beautiful car tho! i love the rims!

 

oo yea their ****ing sweet and look at that lip on them!!!!

heres the email he responded back with when i emailed him about it :

Danny Merlot to me


Hello there,

Thank you for your interest in purchasing my car. I know that there are numerous offers on eBay and I'm glad that you choose to contact me regarding your willingness to purchase.
I am a private seller not a shop and I just moved to United Kingdom, because my wife is from here and she wanted to be closer to her parents as they are old and very ill. We are expecting a baby in a few weeks and I really want to improve the old house we bought when we moved in time for the baby. Besides, there are a lot of things which have priority now, so, this car has to go.
It has not been stolen, has no damage, no hidden defects. It is in immaculate condition, meticulously maintained and hasn't been involved in any accident. The car it's a US model, so there will be no problems regarding US Customs policy on receiving the car. The car comes with log book and a clear title, it is free of encumbrances and liens. You will get from me the keys and all documents to register the car into your name.
I must inform you that currently the car is in London, UK at the shipping company. You will receive your car by DAS at your home address. It is insured in case of damage and it will be delivered to your DOOR. I will send you the car with all the papers and also a bill of sale under your name, you just need to sign on it.
Time is really an issue and we have to move fast. The shipping costs and the insurance taxes of the package will be down to me. The car is being shipped from UK and you won't have to pay for customs or any additional taxes when it arrives in your town. I will declare the shipping a gift/donation for you and in this way you won't have to pay any taxes. Now we have our money stuck so the low price is for a fast cash deal.
The buy it now price for this car is US $5,400.00. In normal circumstances Paypal is my favorite way of receiving the payment but unfortunately for the moment I have some troubles with my paypal account and I am forced not to accept this method at this time. Anyway I hope this is not a problem because the payment process will be done through eBay.
If you agree with moving forward with the deal through eBay please email me as soon as possible YOUR FULL NAME AND ADDRESS. As soon as I receive these information from you I will forward them to eBay along with the rest of the details in order for them to open a case regarding our deal.

Waiting for your email!
