Why is this car only $9K, buy it now? Must be too good to be true.

Cause the gas tank and spare tire holder keep falling out the back of the car (see photos) not to mention a bunch of tools.

Another case of somebody trying to collect email addresses and userIDs, beware!

most definetely a SCAM you see they make the auction "Note: This listing is restricted to pre-approved bidders or buyers only." so the auction wont end or go too high. They steal a sellers account and have the victim send money with western union. Email them Another give away is the VIN it is a VIN off a 1984 Corvette 1G1AY0783E5128888


This scammer is such an idiot he doesnt even bother to change clean the name of the pictures so you can trace them to the original website

HERE IT IS

Maybe someone is getting a divorce. Come to think of it, if this is a case of a POed spouse selling the other ones car....they're asking too much.

Nice find on the picture link. Should the fraud be reported to e-bay? Do they care, or just buyer beware?
