Exclamation Ebay cars, buy it now s2000,350z???

I seen these today and was wondering if any of you know what kind of scam are they running?

But it now s2000, 350z, 68 camaro?????

s2000 is like $7500, 350z is like $8500,,, and 68 camaro $5000??

All the sellers say they cannot be reached by ebay email and have to sent them an email personally? And also they have good feedback.

This can be on the up and up,,,, what gives?

Scam, scam, SCAM

If it's too good to be true, it is.

Don't fall for it, I seen too many cases like this.

im betting most of the cars like that are from the flood.. but even a carfax sometimes wont find out about flood damage.. unless you can see the car yourself, dont buy blind..

stolen ebay accounts. That is why they tell you to email them first at a different email address. Those only last about a day on ebay before getting pulled. Some people do get screwed in the mean time though.

Here is a reply from my email to the guy........

Hello,
first i want to thank you for being interested in my items!
From the begining you have to know that i am located in
Amsterdam,Netherlands and i will shipp from here on my expences!
I am the seller of :

1.2004 Nissan 350 Z CONVERTIBLE =buy now 9500!=
2.Honda : S2000 Convertible=buy now 8500!=


I am selling them so cheap because i need the money fast to pay the
deposit
for my new house from here and also because it cost me too much to
register
them here being us cars!


The cars are in immaculate condition and has no scratch on and hasn't
been
involved in any accident.The motor runs very well. The cars were always
garage kept and rarely used,cars are in showroom condition. The title
is
clear ,it is not a salvage one. I have legal document by which I can
transfer the title to your name. The car is still US registered so you
will
not have to pay any custom taxes.
The delivery will take within 5 to 7! working days (with insurance and
30
days return policy).The service has frequent shared container services.
It will be insured at the delivery service.If something happens on the
road
, you will receive the insurance from the delivery service.As soon as
the
car arrives, you will test and if it does not matches 100% to your
expectations, you will return it in max. 30 days since the arrival
date. In
this case I will pay the return shipping and insurance.
ALSO ABOUT PAYMENT AND SHIPPING I WILL USE ONLY EBAY SO WE CAN BOTH BE
PROTECTED!
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS TO EMAIL ME YOUR COMPLETE NAME AND ADDRESS FOR
SHIPPING AND AFTER THAT EBAY WILL CONTACT YOU WITH MORE INFO REGARDING
SHIPPING AND PAYMENT!
If you agree with my above terms, I'm sure that we can close the deal
as
soon as possible.I have reserved the item for you until we will have
your
final answer.
Thank you!
