NSX scam

[scorp965]

There is an ad on LA craigslist:
http://losangeles.craigslist.org/lgb/cto/1981743052.html

On the face it sounds perhaps legit, given the mileage, but the pictures are from nsx_nick's (yes, that NSX_Nick) 2003 nsx, with an HP turbo kit. The seller will provide additional images, but they are all from nsx_nick's cardomain:
http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3217194/

Nick's car is a legit 2003, not a converted 1996 NSX-T, so it also cannot be the same car. This is ignoring the ad's "veilside bodykit" comment.

The telephone number belongs to a (now defunct) aquarium store, but is being forwarded via Skype to the "seller".

Thanks Scorp - say is that dog still in your trunk? That is a funny picture. What kind of dog is that it looks kind of like an Australian?

I believe the avatar is of a coyote trapped in the engine-bay of a non-NSX vehicle, namely a Honda Fit. This happened a year or so ago, a high-speed collision w/ encroaching animal & it survived the impact only to be discovered at the end of the long-distance roadtrip stuck behind the front bumper only w/ a few scratches.

Glad you posted that... it's nice to know others are looking out for people who might not be able to catch that!
