Default Too good to be true?

On Ebay right now,there is a NBM 99 Z28,80k miles,basic bolt ons,looks to be in good condition,I emailed the guy,he replied back and said he only wanted $2,600.00 for the car,claims it is in perfect working order,he just needs cash fast and that is the reason the price is so cheap,what do you guys think,scam?

Yeah, most likely, you get what you pay for and if it sounds too good to be true...

Where does he claim he lives and what type of payment does he accept? If he tells you Western Union only , RUN!

I had a guy on Ebay that was selling the same car I bought from a dealer. I asked the guy where the car was he stated it was in Germany and he would ship it free to CA. I reported him and the ad was removed with in 10 min. I say report it to Ebay they will remove it if it is shady.

There's no car . And your wallet will be lightened by 2600.00 if you send him the money and that's all that will happen. Definite scam.

The car was taken off ebay the day after it was first put on there,as soon as the guy said he didn't have a phone I walked away,I just hope the reason it was taken off wasn't because someone bought it and got screwed.

Most likely somebody else smelled a rat and reported it . The scammer will leave it up for a few days to fleece as many victims as possible.
