KIL-06L Member 155 Member For: 16y 29d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 03/05/09 12:18 PM Share Posted 03/05/09 12:18 PM hey guys, I too came across this typhoon BUT..... when I came across it the price was $15,000. I e-mailed him askin why he had it up for so cheap. he sent me the same e-mail and said that he needed to pay off some loans and needed the money ergently. this is his e-mail:Hi and sorry for my late answer,I am writing to confirm that the car is in excellent condition, the bodywork is immaculate, no scratches, dents or hidden defects and there is no outstanding finance on the car,also the car comes with a full service history.The price is only 15000 AUD with shipping included.I love this car and I am very upset at having to sell it. It has served me well but I just moved with my wife in Southport, TAS and I can't afford to keep it and I need the money fast so I can pay off some debts.I will close this transaction only though eBay for our own protection.We will use eBay Vehicle Purchase Protection Program(VPP) which will hold the payment until you receive the car.Your funds will be 100% insured by eBay. In this way both of us will start the deal with good faith so we can take it to a smooth end.If you are interested in this car please provide me the following details in order to start the transaction through eBay :-Your Full Name and Shipping Address-Your eBay ID-Any negative feedback and if so .... for what reason .I think this is very suss!!!!!!!!!!!

I just want a fast sale... this is the reason why the price is so low. Not any outstanding finance or something like that... I have closed the auction because I've had a potential buyer on the line, who told me that he will get the car if I close the auction with him as the winner. I did that, and then he told me that his wife won't let him spend all the money on a car and that he is sorry for all the mess... Now, I will either have to re-list or talk with the other clients that have contacted me already. If you're interested, the car is for sale and we can have a deal.I will make the transaction only through eBay for our own safety.If you agree with my terms just send me your details(full name and address and your ebay ID) in order to start the transaction through eBay."I close the auction with him as the winner" This is very odd as it was a classified add on ebay... You cannot physcially bid or buy from this style of listing...Uuuurgh....
