^^LOL Because it's a scam buddy. They're everywhere....Yahoo!, eBay, etc etc.... They usually say they want the money transferred and then they will ship the car to you bceause they are out of state for business or they're disabled or something. The pictures were probably taken from someone else's car maybe from cardomain or something like that.

true that. before i got my 3k i looked at a few cars on ebay...supras, VR4s, an RX7, deals that seemed to good to be true. Tried to contact the sellers and arrange to see the car in person, but the cars were always elsewhere, sometimes other countries. Ebay motors later contacted me and notified me that they were scams. NEVER BUY A CAR WITHOUT DRIVING, OR AT LEAST SEEING THE VEHICLE IN PERSON!

LOL Yeah, same thing happened to me. There was this one ad that was SUPER stupid. Dude was advertising a VR4 that was totally fixed up: nicely dressed engine with lots of polished parts, boost controller, rims, exhaust system, nice sound system, aftermarket interior, etc etc....and guess what his description of the car was? It's "completely stock!" LOL I e-mailed him and called him on it and he never responded. In like 2 days, the listing was gone. :p Blink, let us know what the guy says. I'm curious to know. Hehe

The guy's account has no feed back meaning he's never sold anything on that account. Probably they have to get a new account after each scam. Also the bid is only like $2500. At least it looks like others are realizing its a scam.

Yeah those scams are on there all the time...i've seen this same exact car sold before, w/ the firebird in the background. I emailed him and asked him why I should believe it's not a scam...no reply yet. I always email them, sometimes i get a response...usually only when i act like an idiot thats interested.

I got a VIN check on the car, and it has suffered a very bad accident. The title was salvaged, and that's probably why the car was so cheap. Either that, or yeah, its a scam.
