new evo for $16,000. on ebay

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2480678343

notice description
"!!!BUY IT NOW PRICE IS 16000$!!!
United States "

so i contact this joker, knowing this is too good to be true, and heres what he wrote:

Hello,

I am nt a dealer,First you have to know the car is available for sale . The car can be yours in 2-3 days and for that, you need just to be agree with my condition stated below and the car will be yours.
I am currently located in Rome , Italy and the car will be shipped from here I will pay the shipping and insurance charges as I have a friend who works at FedEx and it will arrange for me a low price shipping.Shipping will take days.Also I will declare the car a gift so you will pay NO CUSTOMS WHEN YOU WILL RECEIVE IT!
The price includes the shipping and insurance fees.
1. SHIPMENT :
It will be shipped from here to your location with Lufthansa Air Cargo and from there FedEx will pick it up and deliver it to your door.
2. PAYMENT :
I'm a serious seller with experience in this field. I'm a fair trader with a good feedback which is the proof that l have closed a lot of successful deals.
You will arrange payment through wire transfer ( www.westernunion.com).
All you have to do is go to www.westernunion.com and find an local agent near you were you have to go and send the cash.A deposit of 3000 USD must be payed prior to shipping and the remaining balance upon recieving and inspection of the car.
3. INSURANCE
The car will be insured at the delivery service and insured for the transport, that means if something happens with the package shipped the shipping company will cover the damages.
4. RETURN POLICY
As soon as the package arrives, you will test the car and if it does not matches 100% to your expectations, you will return it in max. 7 days since the arrival date. In this case I will send you the full amount back and you will send me the product in the original crate and you don't have to pay the return shipping and insurance.
If this will be ok with you just email back with your info and tell me what info you need more about the car and the transaction and you will have it.

Sincerely hope to do the transaction.



can you believe this s..t....

He's going to FedEx the car? Is assembly required?

I'm surprised anyone even falls for this scam anymore.

Someone bid and lets find out. I'm not bidding, but someone should, just so we'll know about it for sure.

This is the third time this has been done in the last two weeks. I've personally emailed three "different" people doing this (2 Evos and an '03 M3), and they've all told me the same story. What a joke. I've tried to inform eBay about this.
