there has been scams going around like that for a while. guy was selling a 94 n/a supra with 70k miles on it for 5 grand. emailed the guy i had the cash in hand he told me hes in germany now the car is in storage in new york and his cousin will ship it to me. right there im like its a scam told the guy i will go get the car myself and pay his cousin cash in hand and what did the guy do, he didnt reply. my cousin encountered one of those scams too with a m3. i heard of a guy my cousin knew from somewhere that he sold a mercedes c32 amg 3 times like that and on the 4th time he got caught now hes sitting in jail with bubba lol

I can sell the parts from a wrecked Ws6 for more than $4000, so take that for what it is worth.

I smell a scam.

This is the most popular scam in the book. They make up a third party seller and make up websites and make them seen legit and then they say they hold the money and you get a test drive and all this other bs and then they release the money to the seller or give him his car back. It's a scam.

Ok So what about paypal and those other well known 3rd parties? Is that how they work with the whole 5 days to inspect and confirm? Never used it so just looking for info.

Thanks?

Ponder this... how many people do you think are out there that HAVE fallen for these scams because they don't frequent on-line forums like these to learn about such things?

My best friend got got, like a dumb ***. The guy sent him a web page to send the money to. It looked like paypal, FBI even had to get involved in it. Well he lost 6K, after I told him not to do it.

my friend did the whole put your money into an account and send it to him when you choose, he found an 01 lightning with 53k on it for 4500 and the guy was going to pay for shipping, he put the money in the account, truck didn't come for two weeks and the money had already started going through, he only got 3200 back and never saw the truck or heard from the guy again.

There have been several posts in this thread pointing out that this is near gauranteed to be a scam, but you're still persisting with it?.
If you're not going to listen to the old adage "if it sounds too good to be true", then send the guy your money, wait a couple of weeks, then come back here and tell everyone how you got ripped for $4000.00.

As everyone else has said, NEVER buy a vehicle without seeing it for your self, drive it, get under it, check it out thoroughly. No matter how cheap the price, if it turns out to be a donkey, its not cheap thoroughbred anymore.

Hey,

Yah i figured it was a scam and i had a guy in California that could go look at it before it was shipped. i ask the guy for the VIN and he gave me a vin for a 04 tahoe!!!! LOL but i would have never bought it without looking at it or sending money!!! Thanks for all the advice.
