Anyone know anything about this car? I can't find any contact info on the ad, and a lot of the mods that have said to be installed are not present in the pics. One of my friends is looking at it, just trying to research it a bit more. Thanks.

well i can u this....ur right about the mods not being on that car.

 

no way that's the same car.

 

Starting to look like a scam to me. It was listed locally, but my friend got in touch with the seller who said the car is actually in NY and he moved to the UK for business.

 

I ve saw a car on ebay with the same pics back in june, and I saw it on auto trader I can gurantee you it is a scam.

 

Someone should set up a sting operation to get people like that in jail. They have to be able to trace him.

 

I tried to buy that car a long time ago....exact same pics, similar story, HUGE scam. DO NOT BUY THAT CAR, IT IS A SCAM.

 

Thanks for the info guys, suspicions have been confirmed.

 

well, how do they scam you. Whats the trick

 

that is way i don't like buying from e-bay!!

 

Here is a copy of an email the seller sent my friend:

Hello, If you want to see the car i will have to come to NY, but i don't want to make the trip unless i have a buyer for the car, so if you decide to buy the car i will come to NY and we can arrange a meeting or I can ship the car, but i will need the payment to be done before, as i don't want to make the trip in vain.I've said the car is in perfect mechanical and esthetically condition.As soon as the payment checks out I will take a plane to US and take care of things.

For safety of this transaction we will use an escrow company.
Here are the steps of the deal :
1.The Seller will open the transaction --> 2.The buyer has to make the payment to escrwo Financial Department --> 3.The Seller will receive the confirmation that the payment is done --> 4.The seller will ship the item to the buyer and he has 5 days to test check it --> 5.The buyer will contact Escrow to tell them if he is satisfied or not --> 6.Escrow will release the money to the seller(in case the buyer is satisfied) and to the buyer(in case that he is not satisfied).

So,please wrote this email twice and let me know.I hope you agree with me,because I think that it is the best way to protect both(seller and buyer).
Just email me back and let me know
Thanks,
James

 

gotta loves these scams... they are popping up everywhere

 

Funny thing....the escrow company they setup is a scam also.

I set up an escrow thing at ebay's top reccomended escrow site, and sent the link to the dude, never heard from him again.

 

One of my friends took part in one of those deals, but for a laptop. He lost his money.

 

I used www.escrow.com a site that does the same. When buying from shady people. Everything went smooth.

The car thing looks like scam, unless its a real escrow service company like the one ebay uses.
