I'm just gonna post the link....
Turbod S2K

 

I have seen that car posted on ebay for the past few weeks now. A week ago it had bids up to 29k. Will a rating that high, how can't it be for real?

 

The poor bastard can't spell worth a lick either. It's a scam.

 

Quite comical though isn't it? You would think he would at least make it a somewhat believable "Buy it now" price....

 

I asked him if I could see it. His response:

"Hello,
I know that you have many choices on eBay and I appreciate that you contacted me.
First i want you to know that for the moment i'm in England, for a special reason. My cousin just died in a tragic car accident, and my real duty is to sell all he owned here, his house and this car.
The car is in perfect condition, with no scarches on it,no dammage. It has a title clear wich you will recive along with the car and two rows of keys.I forgot to tell you that the shipping is free if you pay the amount that i asked. The buy it now price is $5,000, and i want a deposit of $2500.
Shipping will be done via DAS and will take no more then 8-10 days.
It is made for US market and has US specs on it (speedometer in miles).
The buyer will receive this along with all papers and recipts that he needs
to register it in his name. He will receive the TITLE,keys,owner manual...
Regarding the payment i will like to use eBay security transaction like a 3`rd party to our deal.
If you really want to buy the car please get back to me, I will need your shipping address,your full name, and your eBay user id, so i can send it to eBay and start the process.
Best Regards"

 

don't bid on it, my friend almost bought a 1998 twin turboed Supra for (buy it now) $5,000.00, and found out it was a scam. Any time you see someone put there personal email on ebay you shouldn't bid.

 

He retracted like 12 people's bids so far saying "Contact me before you bid." What the hell is that about?

 

How can they not put these dumb f@#ks in jail?

 

I asked him if I could see it purely for entertainment value. No offense, but if you can't recognize this as a scam (or a $5000 Supra tt as a scam, for that matter) then no one can help you. You're bound to get scammed sooner or later.
