Is this For Real

I just found this on ebay. Sounds almost to good to be true. It looks like a nice car though. Maybe he mean't $18,000.

I read somewhere about scammers using email instead of ebay email. That is a very pretty car for not a lot of money.

I would be scared to deal with anybody who says they can't use ebays mail system.

Check this out! - Listen to his excuse!

""Hello there,

I know that you have many choices on eBay and I appreciate that you contacted me.Although I am registered in the US, but I recently moved in Portugal (where my family is from) and the car is being shipped from here.
The car is in a perfect cosmetic and engine conditions, and meticulously maintained. No damage, no scratches or dents, no hidden defects, the engine doesn't smoke, runs and sounds awesome, the engine has never been repaired or something like that, never been into accidents and it is as advertised.The car is registered in United States and it has clear title.You will get from me the keys the title and all documents to register the car in US, and also a bill of sale in your name and signed by me.
I bought this car from US but when i tried to register it here in Portugal they said that i can't register it because is a US vehicle and we have to do serious engine modifications in order to comply with the EU emission standards. As I have said before, it is an US model (which complies with the US emission standards) and Europe regulations are different from these ones.I want to sell it in US because the car is still registered there.The price is low because here in Portugal nobody wants to buy it and so instead of keeping it in garage I decided to sell it to someone back in the US.
If the car is not how i described it, i will offer a full refund, upon the return of the item in original condition (return postage at my expense). It will be insured during transportation and will be delivered at your front door in maximum 2 weeks.
Final price is $ 8,000.00 (this price includes the shipping and insurance).
I want to take this opportunity to assure you that this deal is 100% legitimate,the financial part of this deal will be manage by Ebay,in this way both of us will be protected. Let me know if you need any further details about my car.

Thank you!


John""

You would think that since this scam is so old that those using it shouldn't be surprised when they're knocked off ebay so quickly. What's really sad is that there are so many that believe these listings when they see them!

I was taken by one of these scams way back in the day, being young and nieve, I kept my car, lost alot of money to the bank. Somewhere in the ball park of 7500 bucks. Like was said earlier, if it seems too good to be true, chances are, it is!
