Damn in the market for a turbo kit too.. soo tempting.

The stuff looks brand new... its way to cheap to be real. its 1/4 the cost of a brand new kit from greddy!

 

No buyer/seller reviews on the guy. Be weary. Very weary.

Things that seem too good to be true, usually are.

 

Scam

1-Zero feedback user
2-horrible english--see quote below... this is an obvious sign of scams.
3-asking for a rediculously low price for an otherwise expensive item
4-does not have actual photo
5-says he is in miami but that phone number is for west palm beach
6-when you are trying to sell something valuable, you'll usually try to present it much better than that...
7-story makes no sense... so does he need the money because he totalled the car or because he's moving? *sigh* the more i read it, the more i find... just stay away...

i am probably missing other obvious sign so stay far away from this auction...

 

just ask if pick-up is available. have someone in florida pick up and pay if he says yes.

 

Well the kit isn't brand new, so expect to be missing some parts or get some parts replaced.

 

i wouldnt trust a seller with less then 100 feedback on anything over 50 bucks.

 

might be real, it lists a phone number

 

odd, if you look through the pics, they must be PRE-installed pics. everything looks too new to be a used kit.

how about u just call? easiest way to find out

 

Looks legitimate to me.

Generally a thief conducts business off-eBay and wants a Western Union money order. The seller accepts PayPal. While not risk free, PayPal offers protection similar to a credit card.

 

Besides the starting bid is $2,000. You have no idea what the reserve is.

 

Looks legit to me too. If I were going to sell something on eBay today, I wouldn't yet have a rating yet either, but hey you never know. I believe "buyer beware". Call, and try to have it picked up.

 

I just picked up the kit. Everything looks fine. $190 cash.

 

Its a scam!! He says "I am sacrificing a Greddy turbo kit I had installed on my 350z, Vehicle was totaled out recently and I am no longer in need of the kit. I will be relocating soon and need to sell as soon as possible kit was on my vehicle for almost 3 months. Since it is almost new it is in great running condition. Everything is included nothing missing." Take a close look at every pic, those look like new parts in the plastic to me

 

They could be pics of when he initially received the kit 3 months ago. Why go through the hassle of taking pics of the same thing 3 months later?

 

I just spoke to this guy and he seemed like he was in a hurry and was in the 'office'. He did explain a lot and said you can have a family member meet up with me with funds if you want. But still I have my doubts cuz its just too cheap and he can get a lot more for it, so why wouldn't he? Also his paypal is not working so I dunno about that. A lil shady.

He said the kit was installed by south Florida performance. Thats something that can be verified. All I can say is that if there is anyone in the area that is willing to go up there and pick it up for me, I am willing to pay for their time and effort. If its legit, its too good of a deal to pass up. What do you guys think.
