This listing (160086387491) has been removed or is no longer available. Please make sure you entered the right item number.
If the listing was removed by eBay, consider it canceled. Note: Listings that have ended more than 90 days ago will no longer appear on eBay.

WOW! That was yanked fast. The 350Z, as I recall, had custom paint and a list 3' long of upgrades such as supercharger, etc.
Opening bid 10 cents. He would sell immediately for $6,000 although it wasn't listed as "BUY IT NOW".
He also stated we couldn't email him thru ebay due to the fact is account was full (or some rubbish) and gave a yahoo address.

I've looked for superchargers on e-bay and so far they have all been scams b/c either the item has no buyer protection or the seller wants to get paid by wire trans. not by paypal.

Teh Ferrari Killer '04 TT Z

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Nissa...QQcmdZViewItem

and this is the original auction from which he stole the vin, description and the pics

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...074407790&rd=1

I don't get it though, so maybe one of you could enlighten me a bit, so ok this is a scam, the user has no feedback, was registred yesterday, and he thinks that someone will actually try to bid that Z, will anyone fall for this, how come ebay doesn't remove this kind of scams ??

And another example (different user, but pretty the same tactics):

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2004-...QQcmdZViewItem

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=180070200408

Eventually I could play around with one of those guys, it could be fun

LOL Wait till I get my hands on a 07 Z, so I could install dual turbonators, with dual resistor chips, quad ebay uber-JDM turbo kits so I could smoke any Ferrari in my sight pushing zillions of hp to the wheels

Actually I think that the ebay scam guy will reply me that his dog ate his camera/his wife/gf left him and took the camera/he listed it for his friend who is out of town so he cannot get me any pics before the auction ends. And guess what, it won't be possible to check that Z in person because of similar BS reasons I've listed above. But we will see, I'll keep you posted on what's going on

Ok so the ebay dude answered me:

Hello,
Thank you for contacting me about the 2002 Volkswagen Rialta, in pristine condition.
I've taken very good care of the car, it is in immaculate condition, meticulously maintained and has no scratch on and hasn't been involved in any accident. The motor runs awesome. The car was always garage kept and rarely used. The title is clear and I have legal document by which I can transfer the title to your name. The car is still US registered so you will not have to pay any custom taxes. The car is with me in Helsinki,Finland, where i live now and I will shipp it from here, I will pay all the shipping fees. The price i am asking for the car is $10,000.S. The delivery will take 5 working days (with insurance and 30 days return policy)and it will be handled by DAS. As soon as the car arrives, you will test it and if it does not matches 100% to your expectations, you will return it in max. 30 days from the arrival date. In this case I will pay the return shipping and the insurance.
The transaction will be closed only through eBay, in this way we will both be protected.
If the car is what you are looking for and if you agree with these conditions then I will be glad to close this deal with you.. If you agree with these terms, please email me your full name and address so I can register the transaction with eBay and I will be more than glad to start to complete the transaction with you.
I will be waiting for your email.
Best regards
I just don't understand him, is he so retarted that he can't read or something, I'd clearly stated that I am interested in the Z and he has replied me about the VW

BTW He has the fastest freight company I've ever heart of - 5 days to ship a car from Finland to the US

Looks like I'm gonna mess him around little more
