I knew he was a phony from the getgo, so I just sent him an email, asking him basics.

Here's his response the next day:

clear title issued in US and it can be anytime registred into your name
any
time without a problem.Also, the car will be delivered from Greece and
I

of
phone calls and the best and fastest way I can ship the unit with DHL
Air

The car is from Greece???? But the ad says Beverly Hills, CA

 

It must be the special "Greece" edition. I noticed that it listed side airbags, a navi unit, heated and power seats, cassette player, and foglights (that seem to be invisible). Oh, and the premium Honda wheels of course. Man, I wish mine came with premium wheels.

I'm sure that all these options are available at the S2KG go fast lab (the s2k greece site).

And I love this part:

" the best and fastest way I can ship the unit with DHL Air "

Air cargo on a car??? That's pretty much the $9k right there.


Write him back and ask him about the "factory" options. I'm dying to hear about that one.

 

I work for a bank and see this kind of crap a lot. The "great deal" and "easy money" are huge lures for people. Pass the word: When it looks too good to be true, it is.

 

too late suckers i already put down the deposit! what a sweeeet deal it is!

 

wait a second, he took my deposit too! I'm sure he has more than one though. A classy guy like him always gets things in pairs incase one gets scratched.

 

Ha...you think you are such a smartie, don't you?

I already sent him the 4K and am expecting the car to arrive at my door any day now.

 

Wow can't belive it I think I am going to order two. He must have more than one Gonna get me a couple more S2Ks, one for the wife and one for the kids. Yehaw!!

 

Wow I'm Bummed just tried the phone number in the ad and its out of service.


He must have sold all of them



Oh Well maybe next time.

 

frikkin hilarious...
