Sign up to be a preapproved bidder and you will find out. I bet you get an email to buy it off of ebay.

Hard to understand. If you're going to do a buy it now, at least make it for the value of the car! And I guess loaded means no polished wheels, but you DO get the ultra rare FORD MUSTANG tailights and gauge cluster!

just read the text:

2005 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible Z51

There is absolutely no damage what so ever on this car. Equipped with the 1SB package, navigation and the Z51 package this car is fully loaded! As everyone knows Z51 and Mag ride are on constraint at the time so in a sense this is a rare car! This car is sure to please any corvette enthusiast with the color specs and equipment package!
whoever wrote that knows just enough English to rip people off.

Run, don't walk.

People get greedy and greedy people get stupid I have seen lots of auctions like that. However, it is usually some 1960s muscle car worth 6 figures for under 10K.

If you click on "View Seller's Other Items" you'll see that the seller has 4 cars for sale. A Cad, Corvette, BWM and a Mustang.
The BMW is going for 12 grand, the rest for 18 grand.
just another example that eBay is a target rich environment for scammers. Does ebay care you might ask? Not a bit because they get their listing fee from the crooks as well as the good guys.

I'd rather stick to my C4 anyway, but even if I did win a C6 or something i'd still drive my C4 cause I love it so much.

I reported the listing to Ebay live chat. Stupid scammer can't even get the right pictures uploaded onto the Corvette auction.
