Default A really nutty ebay auction

This dumba$$ is trying to get 35K for a used '04 Suzuka.

He claims it is rare - less than 5 cars with this rare color combination"

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...7&category=6253


Vehicle Description


Rare vehicle color combination. Very few shipped from factory in 2004 with blue leather (less than 5 cars). Vehicle has been babied and not seen snow this winter. Excellent condition. Was named number one premium sports car by MSN.com last year. Cold air induction added giving a more robust sound and a few more horses to boot. I'm buying a new Corvette Z06 and need some cash to move ahead. Near Ohio would be best to ship car. Of all the cars I have owned this one gets more attention and women than anything. This car is absolutely awesome!

Tell him you're from S2000 Int'l and you have been searching for the elusive Suzuka + blue leather knowing that it is only 1 of 4 to come from the factory in '04 - your editor wants a ton of pictures for the story

I agree but this guy is following the "greater fool theory". No matter how much you pay for something, just wait until a greater fool comes around and you can get an even better price for it.

Is he right that only 4 cars were shipped in blue? I would imagine more than 100 were. Anyone have the facts? I'll email every bidder with them to nail this asshole.
