    Default So I want to buy a supra...

    ...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".

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    If you want a MKIV Supra, I have one here that you can buy. But it's not going to be $6700......

    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.

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

    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.

    You sure could and I'm pretty sure you do, don't you? Are we upset that I gave out obvious information? Because that wasn't my intention.

    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.

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