So I want to buy a supra...

[On_Her_Face]

...and I found a black 1998 TT hartop Supra for sale on eBay for $6,700. No damage, clean title, 61k miles, t-66 turbo and the supporting mods. It also comes with Volks and a Bomex body kit.

I knew this was a scam so I e-mailed the seller to "find out more".


Hello, I am interested in the Supra you have for sale and if the price on ebay is correct ($6700) then I would like to come buy it from you. Please let me know ASAP.

Thank you,
Billy Dawson


Hello,

Thank you for your interest in purchasing my car.
This is what i think that you will need to know.

I am currently in Canada and i will ship the car from here and i hope this will not be a problem since i will cover the shipping costs and insurance. I will ship it with DAS insured and will take 5 days to reach your address. I will cover all shipping and insurance charges for this transaction.

Here are the most important details about the car :
- US car ( US model , US specs )
- odometer in Miles , speedometer in Miles per Hour ( MPH )
This car meets all Environmental Regulations in the USA ( DOT , EPA ). About the car: it is in immaculate condition and has no scratch on it. No damages, no accidents, no scratches or dents, no hidden defects. The car comes with all the documents you need to register it (including clear title which you will receive included in the package).

The buy it now price for my 1998 Toyota Supra is $6700 and i want the deal to go through a third party so the both of us will be safe. This is why I chose to be affiliated at eBay. I have with them a purchase protection account for $20,000 US. This money is for refunding my customers in case they are not satisfied with my selling activity. Using a third party as eBay, you will be 100% secure that you will receive your car. I will be 100% secure that I will receive the payment after you will receive and inspect it.

Please send me your eBay ID , full name and shipping address so I let eBay know that you are interested and to add you on my pre-approved bidders list.

I'm waiting for your mail.

Regards.


So there is no way I can come pick up the car in person with cash?


I'm right now in Montreal and the car is here with me but my work requires to travel a lot so i don't have any free time right now so the car is already at the shipping company, ready for shipment.

i want to do the deal through ebay so as soon as you mail me your ebay ID, name and shipping address i will contact them and you will receive all the details from them.


I would rather come up to you as soon as you are free with cash. I can fly up there any day so let me know.

Thanks,
Billy Dawson


as i already said because of my work i have to travel a lot
i'm not home right now and the car is already at the shipping company


I will pass on the offer, if you decide to sale in person, I will buy. Otherwise good luck with sale.

Thanks,
Billy Dawson

I am waiting for the response lol but if anybody wants to fuck with this guy or try to "buy" (lol) the supra his/her e-mail is [email protected].

Note: I am actually looking to buy a FC, e30 e325, sc300, or something along those lines. :goodjob:

[Echonova]

Sounds legit to me. You are just being unreasonable.

[99hatch]

No it doesnt sound legit. Look at the sellers first email, throughout the email, all he says is "the Car" doesnt specify anything about it being a supra until the end of the email. Thats a scam. Who would pay more to ship it, when someone will come to you with cash and buy it.

[oneSLOWex]

sounds like a scam....he is pretty much refusing to meet up

[blaknoize]

Sounds legit to me. You are just being unreasonable.

The TROOF is in the above post

[On_Her_Face]

You know I'm going to trust you since you are an elder. :rolleyes:

LOL

Buying through Ebay though covers you and him, so I wouldnt think he would go through Ebay if it was a scam?? :thinking:

[03RCode]

This same exact thing happened to a buddy of mine when he was looking for a skidsteer. Except he found the guy on CL saying he was in Athens, upon emailing him the guy said hes in New York, but the bobcat is at the shipping yard his brother works at. The guy wanted the transaction to go through eBay, and also refused to meet up in person. The skidsteer was also priced about 10k less than it was worth.

There is some proof right there. Its a scam. Ebay might be able to help cover, but what happens if he takes the money and does not ship the car. He just gets some neg reps. Creates a different account with a different credit card. He could have one of those visa gift cards and use that as his ebay card. Then when they go looking for him, no money or name on the card.

[oneSLOWex]

You can tell by the price its a scam right off the bat....got a link to the auction?

My friend got scammed for 5k off of eBay.

[Kevykev]

Sounds like a good deal!

j/k

You will most likely never hear back from that "seller." During my anti-scam attempt I stated that my aunt lived in Seattle (where the vehicle was) AND I was on my way up there.

They'll just pull a reversal move on your ass!

[On_Her_Face]

The link is gone, wonder why hahaha.

[Brett]

he will re post it :lmfao:

[umairejaz]

WOt, waste of time.

Are you sure you dont want E36 M3, SRT4, WRX (few SRT4/WRXs found in this price), LS1 fbody, RSX, civic EP3, MB CLK430?

[On_Her_Face]

I would like an e36 m3 only con is parts are more expensive than an e30.

SRT-4 most are ragged out

Wrx, no awd

LSX already got that

Rsx/Ep3, no fwd

MB = no wallet

LOL.

I need a car that runs! Lol.

[green91]

If you are serious about a mkiv supra, def check out speedforsale.com .. they are the biggest seller of supras around.

[Tracy]

We just parted ours out and got over $60k for it (and it was a 95). Now you know it is a scam. :)

[Tracy]

If you are serious about a mkiv supra, def check out speedforsale.com .. they are the biggest seller of supras around.And just make sure you understand that they mark up by at least 10%, so that's your negotiating room :) and that they don't maintain exclusive rights to sell the car, so you can probably find it on ebay or autotrader without the mark up.

[13Bracer]

I need a car that runs! Lol.
well come down here and make it run!! bahaha

[BobbyFresco]

LOL..Good job, Billy.

[green91]

And just make sure you understand that they mark up by at least 10%, so that's your negotiating room :) and that they don't maintain exclusive rights to sell the car, so you can probably find it on ebay or autotrader without the mark up.

Sure, that's how a broker works. I can save money the same way by doing my own automotive work instead of paying a shop $100/hr.

[Xrated O.G.]

There goes Tracy stirring shit up again... LOL...

lol good catch! so if i bought your s13 and closed my eyes while driving it wont be a ferrari? rip-off!

[Echonova]

lol good catch! so if i bought your s13 and closed my eyes while driving it wont be a ferrari? rip-off!It can be whatever you want!!!!! How is that a rip-off???


I'd call that a bargin.:crazy:

what if i wanted it to be an s13? then at the same time wanted it to be a space ship? :thinking:

[Echonova]

Well that's just not logical. Everyone knows S13's would never withstand re-entry. They can barely handle the gravitational pull of earth without falling apart.



~Realizes I'm blowing sale~



I mean sure it can handle outer space, it's a Nissan... It was made for that shit.

more than likely the guy didnt even want to scam you at selling you the supra..he probably just wanted your name, ebay user name and email address...hes probably using your identity to screw someone else right now...or applying for some credit cards online.

[iEvo]

i aggree with "so jdm" dude who drives a single turbo supra as a daily? i dont think a homeless person would sell a 98 single turbo supra for that cheap.

[Kevykev]

Emailed a scammer for the hell of it...

A new low:



Hello,
I have received your email regarding the
2006 Acura TL Print Version with only 32,700 miles.
The car is in perfect condition,with no scratches on it,no damage, clear title.
The price for the car is $4,800 with shipping included.
The car was my husband`s as he loved it very much, but he did not enjoy it as he died in a IRAQ 3 month ago. It brings very bad memories to me, I want to get rid of it.
The buyer will receive the car with all papers and receipts that he needs to register it to his name.
Shipping will be done whit DAS and it will take no more then 2-3 days. I have a friend there who will manage me a low price shipping and I assumed that it is my duty to pay for shipping it.It will be delivered directly to your address.
Anyway, I have to let you know that I want a fast deal so if you are really interested in buying it,please reply with the following information's:
-Your full name;
-Your shipping address.(street,city,state,zip code)
The transaction will close only through eBay so we both will be protected.
I want eBay because as they are the biggest company on the internet I think that we can close this deal fast and safe for both of us. Also I am not very familiar with the internet transactions and eBay is the only one I know.
I will look for your email,so that we can move forward with this deal!
Let me know.
Regards,
Linda Norman
