IT IS A SCAM

the guy will ask you to deposit $4k into an account and you will never hear from him again. I have reported the auction to ebay.

The guy has an email address from Estonia, they rely on stupid people to pay money blindly.

There seems to have been quite a few of these type of scams on eBay lately where a car is advertised mega cheap but it's actually (suposedly) located overseas somewhere.

I sometimes play with these guys for fun... let's see where this one leads :lol:

-------------------------------------------------------

ME:

How many k's are on it?

What month was it built? What is it's build no?

Thanks.

HIM:

Hi there,

The price of the car is AU $11000. First you will have to pay 50% of the price (AU $5500)... and for the rest of the amount (AU $5500) the car will be shipped COD. The car is in perfect condition, never been in accidents. I'm selling it because I want to buy me a lux car.

The car will be shipped via Lufthansa Air Cargo from Prague, Czech Republic, where I'm located. I will support the shipping cost. When I will ship it, I will arrange for all the dutyes and that why you will not pay any customs when you will receive it and for this, it will be delivered directly to your address.

I want to make the deal using a third party. I am affiliated at eBay Square Trade and I have a purchase protection account for USD $20,000 and I assume you know what this means:

If you will not receive the car as I described to you, although this is not the case, Square Trade will refund you with 100% from the whole amount which you paid me. Even in case that you will not receive the car, they will refund you the money back.

Let me know if this is O.K. with you, so that we can go forward with this deal! About the payment Square Trade will manage in my place the financial details.

Thank you and best regards, Derrick

P.S. I need your full name and shipping address in order to contact Square Trade to start the deal.

ME:

You didn't answer any of my questions...

How many k's are on it?

What is it's build date and build no.?

Also, the price seems a bit high... would you consider offers?

Thanks

:gooff:

WOOHOO! Score! :lol:

--------------------------------------

HIM:

Hi there.

Sorry about that.

There are 8000 km on the car.

The car was built on March 2004,

Please fell free to make an offer.

Best wishes.

--------------------------------------

ME:

Thanks!

8000km... Has it had the 3000km check-up service done by a licensed Ford Dealer? Was an interim oil change done?

Are you a "run it in like you mean to drive it" person, or did you run her in gently?

I'm thinking somewhere around the $7000 mark would be fair?

Thanks.
