Unhappy eBay scam?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...4&category=6253

Hope this is not a repost, but this looks very fishy. Especially when you see that the selling has zero rating, makes me wonder

That looks like a picture you'd find by googling "s2000"... and there are no others. Usually when someone sells a car, they have five or ten pictures on there.

The feedback rating doesn't mean much. Lots of people don't use ebay... maybe this is just something he's trying strictly for the car.

If that was red or white for $20k, I'd own 2 S's soon.

that's well under its market value.

he could take it to carmax and get 25K+ most likely. Why deal with ebay crap?

Most likely a scam.

i'd never buy a car on ebay or anyplace without seeing, touching, feeling, smelling and tasting it first.

I don't see what's the problem. There's 3 days left on the auction and the current price is not the same as the selling price.

I contacted the seller and he/she said it's $20,000 for the buy-it-now price.

Also ... the member is new, that's what scares people ...

Probably a scam, but why don't you buy it and find out?
