Jake Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Yeah it's a scam. It's got all the classic signs: Only a 3 day listing - how many folks would do that when selling a car? New user, registered today, zero feedback of course Yahoo email address Bidder IDs kept private Pre-approved bidders only. Low BIN price. It'll be a "The car's abroad at the moment but send me a deposit and I'll ship it to you...." AVOID Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pig Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Looks like a scam to me. Yet again amazing how he has a 500 bhp car when the engine looks like it has stock tubbies! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyotasuprauk Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 I've sent an email pretending I’m interested, hopefully that will confirm it then I send it to eBay so they can cancel the auction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Perhaps they are flywheel horses, and it has lots of losses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merckx Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Wheels alone are worth £2000 new! Hard to believe that bidders don't realise, buy it now £3500. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 The sellers reply to email: First of all my name is David Burnham and i am the owner of the Toyota Supra 3.0 L that you have asked about on eBay.The car has no mechanical/cosmetical problems.It just needs a new owner. I have a good reason for this low price. I just moved with my job in Berlin. I have a car from my job to drive here, so I can`t keep the Toyota anymore, pay insurance and all the associated taxes, as I have a 5 years contract here. It is very difficult for me to drive a right-handed car in Europe, so I`m forced to sell it, but my lost will be your gain. The price of GBP 3,500 includes all the shipping and insurance fees from my location to your shipping adress.The car is still for sale and you can be the owner. For the moment it's in the shipping company! The car meets United Kindom DOT and EPA guidelines so there will be no problems regarding UK Customs policy on receiving the car. The car comes with log book, HPI cleared, it is free of encumbrances and liens. The keys and papers will be sent with UpS owernight.Shipping the car will not take more than 3 days and when it will arrive you will not have to pay any extra money beside the buy it now price . Please let me know if you are interested in buying my baby. Car info: Make:Toyota Model:Supra Twin Turbo 3.0 L Year:1995 Price:3,500 GBP shipping included Thanks David What a surprise!
