If you do decide to get it, but feel fishy about having to send money, I can help you get the money to him for you.

Just give me the initial cost of the car in cash and I'll bring the money to him myself, plus some extra money on top to cover my flight to Europe.

Don't worry, I will be sure to thank the guy for giving you such a good deal.

PM me if interested

lol.. I'm going to Europe for a Vacation next month. If you give me the money in cash, I can bring it over and help you buy the car in person instead of over some internet service. You don't need to pay for my flight since I'm already going there. However, it would be nice if you could treat me to a burger after all this is done. XD

let me know if you want to use this free service of mine.

The biggest fail here is OP asking whether this is a scam like a clueless kid. Sorry man I can't believe people still get their hopes up for a "great" deal like this.

Might as well e-mail back and tell him to go suffer in his last days and rot in hell.

lowball the seller to half the asking price, and tell him you'd pay right away. I bet you he would say okay.

I'm so jealous of all you guys finding ads like this.
I could have so much fun.
I find these kind of deals a blessing that opens a golden opportunity to mess around with some idiot that thinks he's smart.

I'm bored... what's the ad? I want his email.

Hello,

The car is in Vancouver in my garage and it can be delivered to your place from there. I will come back in Canada to start the shipping of the car to your address or to meet you for pick up. First I need a proof that you are a serious and interested buyer who has the money and not a dreamer so I will come back in Canada only after you will make the payment. You must understand me, I can't come back in Canada if six different guys ask me to meet them for a test drive. I chose eBay as our third party because they offer protection both of us, they save me lot of time, they handle all the paperwork and collection of selling price, and will hold the payment until you decide to keep the car. To begin the transaction I'll need your full name and shipping address. The selling plan is very easy and safe. First eBay will send you the Invoice via e-mail, then you have to make the payment. Right after eBay will check the payment as available, the shipping company will deliver the car to your place. You will have 4 days to inspect the car, if you like it we have a deal. The lawyer and the notary from eBay will take care of all needed papers. Otherwise eBay will refund you the money immediately and the car will be taken from your place, on my cost. But I am sure the second situation will not happen because the car looks and runs great, I know you will simply fall in love with this car once you will drive it first. Please let me know your decision about this deal.

Thanks for your cooperation!
Freddy

Ya i get that its a scam esp with him emphasizing this online payment
But once in a blue moon some ridiculous ads for unreal prices end up being up being legit
Buddy bought bought a 04 s2k with 60xxxkm for 10g's hasnt had a problem since, but wasnt online payment, anyways my point is some people sell sports cars for crazy prices

was the 04 s2k a rebuilt through a nasty front collision? If so, then I would say he got it for a crazy price.

Hello Mauro,

I'm glad you can understand me. Look I'm located in Blackpool, and I can't come back in Canada to meet you without knowing for sure that you will buy the car, but I have another propose for you. You can send the money $5,500 from your wife's name or your daughter's name under your name so that means your daughter or your wife will be the sender of money and you will be the receiver. BUT you will use my Blackpool address so I can be able to check if the transfer is made. This will assure me that you are an interested buyer and that you won't make me waste my time for nothing. If you agree with this, you will have total access of transfer and no one can pick up your money! Prove me this and I will come to your place to meet you and to give you the car. Then we will register the car under your name. After papers are done and the car is titled under your name, you will change the receiver's name with mine. I'm waiting for your email as soon as possible so we can move forward with this!

Here is my address to use:
address: 97 Adelaide Street, City: Blackpool, Zip code: FY1 4LN, Country: United Kingdom

After the transfer is made you have to send me the scanned receipt received from Western Union stated that you made the payment. When you will make the transfer, tell to the Western Union agent that the receiver of the money is in UK and that you just borrow him the money or something. I am asking you this because when you will change the receiver's name with mine, I will be charged with a 5% fee for using Western Union services for business.

Thanks for understanding!

Richard Peters




LOL
what should i reply back?
