wasnt this car on before?

ya, they must have hijacked someone's account...... they will tell you to send them a deposit to hold it and then you will never hear from them again.

ebay will end this auction within a few hours (i am guessing).....

amazing the amount of work people will do to try to scam people......

This car was on before and I had some dialogue with the guy - stay away, he stopped discussion as soon as I started asking specifics on the car and if he had his buy it now price set wrongly - he also couldnt spell so maybe a 10 year old.

those pics look similar to one for sale in the autotrader for 71,000 , I will have to look for it lol.

here is their response to the question... where is the car located

"Hello there and thanks for your interest

As you've probably already seen on my auction
the price I'm looking for my 2005 Acura NSX-T CONVERTIBLE is $41,000.00.
The car is in perfect condition, there's not even a
scratch on it. Everything from the motor to the tiers
and mirrors is shining and looking brand new.
I have a clear title for it , no liens or loans.The car is located in Saint Petersburg, Florida.

I will only deal through eBay for our own protection so they act as a neutral

third party.
They will hold and insure your money until receipt of the car in good conditon.
You will be gived a 15 days inspection period before releasing the payment.

If you wish to purchase it please provide me your full name and address so I can

initiate the deal through Ebay.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Warm Regards,

Michael"

Check out his other listed cars...all way under priced and all 2006's. At least he was smart enough not to list the NSX as 2006.

not sure if the link is working but same car and in Saint Pete, but wants 77,900 , guess ebay will cover the diffrence . Hmm even the same vin is listed , all the same pics, very weird .

I posted the correct link to search AutoTrader.

That 05 does show up on their listing. It's a hoax. I had previously emailed ebay about the hoax but ebay refused to do anything about it.

BTW, I dont think eBay acts as escrow for any transaction. My guess is that they seller will make up a fake ebay email to get potential buyer to send money.

Seerex · 23 November 2006

yeap that is it, guess this is getting much more common

pphold · 3 December 2006

It's a hoax. They will want you to send the money western union. The e-mail you recieved is a spoof not from ebay or fairtrade.

I get them by asking them the phone number of the shipping company that has the car. or ask them for a phone number to call. Or tell them you will pick it up.

They will either stop e-mailing or lower the deposit to try to get you to send the money. Everyone here should know that it BS.

Anyways if they offer to meet you send the information to the Local Police.

They don't have the car.

Just tell them you will be in Nigeria Mon for business and you will bring them two ox, four chickens and a virgin (well almost) in trade for the NSX.

froggie · 3 December 2006

As if looking for an NSX wasn't already hard enough, these hoaxes are making the task all the more complicated. I started this thread a few weeks back: Carfax please: JH4NA1155MT001330, could it be true?
The seller claimed that the car was in florida, and he wanted the funds put on escrow.com. But after running a carfax,the truth was different: It showed the car was here, in Cali. it was obviously a hoax.
And then, guessed what popped-up on e-bay? this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1991...oryZ5337QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem.
But having been scouting for an NSX for some time, I just realized that this ad seems familiar. Although this seems to be the legit one this time, I am more convinced that no matter how long it will take, my future car will have to be for sale locally - In fact I should go have a look at this one-, and with no fonny transaction schemes, period.
