It has to be a misprint. Should be $220,000.

$122,000 woudn't cover the purchase of an L-89 and the Nabers restoration.

Or it's bogus!?

Sorry to disappoint, bought this car today. Talked the seller down to $22 Canadian. He was unhappy with the gas mileage.

I was on e-bay the minute it was posted and e-mailed as well, no reply and I also told them to end auction early and I will be there with cash in hand 22,000$. So my guess it is a scam.

Hey I have FIRST dibs on this covette. All others stay away!!!!!

I just sent another email this morning. I want this corvette!!!!!!!



Hello,

This is a follow up to my previous email to you, per your request
on your advertisement on ebay for the 1969 L-89 Coupe Tuxedo Black.

I have not heard from you yet and wondered if this car has sold?

Can you kindly let me know if the car has sold as I am looking at other
corvettes as well, however, yours appears to be exactly what I am looking for.

I would imagine that if my basic questions I asked you on yesterday are answered to my satisfaction, I do not see any reason why I would not purchase this corvette for your asking price of $22,000. Payment can be made by bank wire or cashier's check.

Please get back to me regarding your corvette. I can either call you or you can call me. Please let me know if it is still available. If it is, I like to make arrangements to see the vehicle and/or have it inspected.

Thank you and best regards.

What do you suppose they do with that list? Advertising and spam?

I can't wait to get an email from them. My response would get me a permanent ban from this site and perhaps from the entire internet!!!!!!

no, they are looking for someone to wire money without even asking questions or seeing the car.. they will ignore requests for information and offers to 'bring' cash.. since there will be no car for the buyer to buy.

send them a note telling then that you want it and will wire money immediately.. then you will get a response.

Okay I sent another email just now. Do you think I will hear back?



Hello,

In reference to your 1969 L-89 Coupe Tuxedo Black Corvette

I am writing you to follow up on the two emails I sent you below.
It does appear the car is still for sale as your auction is still listed.

I imagine the lack of response from you is because you are receiving
SEVERAL offers. I totally understand. I imagine your offers are way
below your asking price. Well, I have been thinking about your corvette
for a couple days now and I must say it is EXACTLY what I am looking
for. Therefore, rather than me trying to negotiate a price, I will simply
agree to purchase the corvette at your asking price of $22,000.

I can set up pick up (at my expense of course) once payment has been made. If you can give me instructions on where I should immediately wire the $22,000 to you that would be great. I do not want to lose this car.

We can worry about details of the transaction later, but I want to
have this car taken off the market and sold to me, and I am more than
willing to send you payment immediately to accomplish this.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Thank you and best regards.
