Obviously a scam, but what is it? A bumper car for 6400.....I don't think so.

I wonder if he would be agreeable to me wiring him 5 grand for the car?

Amazing the hype these old C3s can generate / there is probably someone - somewhere actually emailing this guy trying to work out "the deal".

Think there were a couple threads on this a couple of weeks ago...one guy had a Lingenfelter C5 for about the same buy-it-now price...and everybody in OT went nuts e-mailing the guy and bidding outrageous amounts. He finally removed the ad.

HERE IS WHAT I GOT IN REPLY TO THE..........MUST E-MAIL BEFORE BIDDING STATEMENT POSTED ON THE AUCTION.
THIS CAME FROM ANOTHER E-MAIL LISTED AS :
From: Nrlbq@aol.com



Hello

First of all I must inform you that I'm located in Budapest, Hungary. I recently moved here with my job and I had the intention to take the car with me in order to register it and keep it, but I discovered that it is very hard to register a US car here and the taxes are very high. Not to mention that here the gasoline is much expensive here. So, unfortunately, I had to leave the car in the US.
The PRICE is $6,400.00. The car is in excellent condition. It has no scratches on and hasn't been involved in an accident. The motor runs very well. The car was always garaged. The car is still US registered and the title is clear. The car is in US at the shipping company and it is ready to be shipped.
The SHIPPING will be made by DAS Auto Shippers. The delivery will take between 7 and 10 working days (with insurance and 30 days return policy). I WILL PAY FOR THE SHIPPING!
If the car does not matches 100% the description, you will return it in maximum 30 days and I will pay for the return shipping fees.
PAYMENT will be made through eBay so we can be both protected!
If you agree with my above terms, I'm sure that we can close the deal as soon as possible. I have reserved the car for you until I will have your final answer.

Thank you,
Michael Lin
