Well, except for the color and the audio.

Here

Except for the pretty parts, the mechanical upgrades seem to mirror my philosophy, just implemented a lot more cleanly.

Gyark! Why does does it have to be yellow? Other than that, I approve.

I don't know, I kind of think the yellow fits her!

OK, strange twist here.

The seller contacted me and offered to sell it for $4K. I'm going to be a short two hour drive from him next week.

I could sell the AV crap off and get some track or Auto-X tires. How cool would that be for a dedicated track beater? I figure I could drop the subs, caps, & batteries, strip out the interior, and be close to 2000 lbs running ~240 RWHP.

Who knows, I might ahve a Colin moment and find that something followed me home...

That is if this is all legit.

DO IT!!! Damn, that would be a hell of a track car me thinks!

Looking like a scam. Dude keeps replying with form letters not answering any questions. He, or someone else genned up a real good spoof e-mail from e-bay.

The mail had all the terms & conditions of the Buyer Protection program with active links that went back to the e-bay program. Everything was looking legit untill there was a request to put a $3000 down payment on it through Western Union... Then I checked the e-mail headers and saw that it had bounced around yahoo and not e-bay servers.

I'm gonna see how long I can string this guy on...

EBay Auto sale + Western Union = SCAM

tell him to drive it up to your hotel and you'll give him the cash.

That really sucks

Tell him you're willing to pay the $3K into an escrow account. See if he'll go for that.

Hehe, he has stopped replying to me, but I got a few different accounts to bug him with and now he says he is out of town and can't do it in person.

Jackass

Dumb question, did you report him to ebay/paypal/etc?

zaxrex · Post by **zaxrex** » Wed May 09, 2007 8:39 pm

Ja, but just got the form response back. Probably won't get to hear the resolution.
