I bet the owner doesn't enjoy the car as much as he thought and now just wants to get rid of it. The 40K is probably what the bank notes for. You can always ask him for more details if your interested in purchasing it.

Just because his reserve is 40k does not mean it will sell for 40k. My guess is it will go MUCH higher.

Pre-approved bidders only = no good.

And I don't know where those pictures were taken, but there aren't any mountains like that anywhere near Portage, IN.

Definitely seems suspicious. I wouldn't think of bidding until I saw the car in person.

Get real. No wonder there's so many scammers out there if you guys even THINK this might be legit. Check his other auctions. There's a 2005 BMW M3 with a reserve of only $20K. The car supposedly has only 4400 miles. Check all the mods done to it in the pictures. The pics are ususally lifted from someone's web site then posted on an auction. Notice there's no payment terms at all in the listing? Ususally there's some scam about wiring them directly like $5K at the end of the auction. All these scammers take hot new models and list them for 1/2 or 1/3 of what they should really be selling for.

I just bought it!!!!

Gave him the title to my twin turbo Firehawk and gave him $10,000 cash and even told him he could hit my wife if he gets over here tonight.

I wonder when my Zo6 will get here....
