Default 1993 NSX Scam? how does this work?

here is the car listed in www.cars.com Listing on Cars.com

Same exact car listed on ebay Ebay listing

The only problem is that the private seller has it listed for $23k and the eBay auction is "reserve not yet met" at $26k.


Also, the ebay auction says the car is in NY and the Private seller says California.?

why would the same car be listed on different coasts? how is the fake person going to make $ out of this?

Maybe one listing is the owner and one is a broker. Maybe the broker put it on eBay without owning it figuring he could sell it there if the owner didn't sell it on his own, or figuring he'd get a bid for over $23,000.00 and pocket the difference.

Maybe they just plan to collect the money and flee without delivering the money.

The interior looks so old and all cracky. Best way to uncover a fraud, contact the owner and don't pay a single cent unless everything is 100% certain.

I guess that would work.? The internet is just filled with shady people! Maybe the guy in CA is hoping for someone to buy it "sight unseen" and send a nice deposit.??
