Looks like a good deal. Wish I lived in Edmonton, I'd go check it out.

something seems odd because at the bottom is says buy it now for 2650 and the bidding is over 4k with the reserve not met?

[surreal]

sounds fishy ...
free shipping?
1 feedback?
not ab plates?
unlisted mods?

[My_Name_is_Rob]

yea, manitoba plates... maybe they wrote it off over there...

All of the bids just got cancelled....

Someone in Edmonton should take a look first hand:confused:

That is the same one that was up for sale in Texas a few weeks ago [I think, the auction was closed before I could check, but the price he offers without the buy it now is the same as the one in texas]. I emailed the "owner" he replied with, yeah its real but I am living in Italy right now and am trying to sell it as it is in storage right now in Texas, please do a payment through ebay. I called BS and sure enough the account was high-jacked and E-bay closed it.

Hello,


I know that you have many choices on eBay and I appreciate that you contacted me. The car is in a perfect cosmetic and engine conditions, and meticulously maintained. No damage, no scratches or dents, no hidden defects, the engine doesn't smoke, runs and sounds awesome, the engine has never been repaired or something like that, never been into accidents and it is as advertised. I will be shortly, as I have Clean Title and condition LIKE NEW!. It's no catch here. The price is real. I work for Shell International E&P and I begined a 2 year job assignment in Madrid, Spain so I will handle the transaction from here. I would rather sell the car than put in storage (which is still a valid option).The car is sent at a local warehouse in Edmonton, AB. The full price is $2650 with shipping cost included. The transaction will be done through eBay for our own protection. Your funds will be 100% insured by eBay and I will be sure that I will receive the payment, this way both of us will start the deal with good faith so we can take it to a smooth end. After the payment is cleared and confirmed by eBay I will ship you the car in no time. You will have 10 days from the time you receive the car to inspect it and decide if you want to keep the car or not. Once the car arrives if you find it different then I describe it you will be refunded by eBay and you wont loose nothing. If you are interested in buying it please provide me your FULL NAME and SHIPPING ADDRESS also your eBay USER ID so I can initiate the deal through eBay.

Waiting to hear from you

Regards,

Walt P.

That's fucked! I feel like we need to do something to bust this scammer,.. but what? We have no real proof, other than that it is retardedly obvious.

[2FAST4U]

What about this one? Seems like a more realistic seller, but also possibly too good to be true???

Here at 3S Imports, we have been working on and repairing the 3SI (3000GT / Stealth) cars for over 4 years now
after 4 years, they should know that its not called a 3si :p

that auction looks real ... no way to tell if it was a good deal until it ends tomorrow though. car has a lot of miles too. the way that ebay works is that everyone bids all at once in the last 60 seconds to try to win haha.
theres no bin price, and it doesnt seem to have a reserve either.

edit: i refreshed the page and the price dropped 700 bucks lol ... must be cancelled bids?
