Pethetic

[RedEmblem]

It's awfully... awfully... cheap. (and it's white).

[SilverECR33]

SCammer... = Fraud. i bet he scams people for a living. no ones gettin a R34 GTR for 12k. maybe in the year 2150.

[frankxinyu]

maybe a typo?

[Marsss]

That seems quite dodgy.. even if it IS a typo

[are33]

id ask for the VIN and fast it maybe.

[evesdropping]

I emailed him for the VIN and engine number, this was the reply:

"Hello,

Thank you for your interest in my Skyline. The car is in absolutely perfect condition, no scratches, dings, dents or other imperfections. Always adult driven and garaged. Clear title. Price is 12,630 $ AUD if you buy now with shipping included. Firstly, I need to tell you that I recently moved to Greece due to work specially . Since I have no more relatives in Australia, I brought the car with me thinking that I could register it here. However, because of the big differences between the AU emissions and the Greece ones, I can't register it without spending a fortune. Here is what I suggest:we will use Global Lines Shipping (www.glob-lines-int.net) for payment and shipping which acts like an escrow service, so you pay the money in GLS account ( they hold the money until you receive the car ), I send the car over, you can inspect it, take it to a mechanic to check it out, drive it and then decide if you keep it or not. If, by any reason, you will not be satisfied with it ( even though I can assure you that it is exactly as described), you can return it at my expense for a full refund of your money, no questions asked. I think this is more than fair for the both of us. If you agree, please provide your full name and shipping address and I will get everything started immediately. Afterwards, GLS will invoice you the transaction details and payment instructions. All you will need to do is follow through with their guidelines.

Thanks"

Sounds dodgy to me

[WogsRus]

That car is Jason Whites old Targa car. I sent the person a message staing so and have not recind an email.

Itell you what, i have wenkas like him, trying to sell off shit like that.

[evesdropping]

apparently he can't tell me the VIN or engine number as the car is locked in a warehouse and he doesn't have access to it.

[silver gts-t]

these type of ads are now all over carpoint and carsales also, they use a fraud money transfer site (escrow) where they tell you to deposit money into an account where you control the money and tell you they will send you the car for inspection.

its all bs

i thought that was one of the White's Targa or spare v-specs.

[gozirra]

Did anybody hit the link on the auction to report it to Ebay?

That escrow scam has been done to death on Ebay. This link shows how somebody scammed the scammer trying to do this. Quite funny. http://www.zug.com/pranks/powerbook/

Living in Greece now?

Last time it was Budapest

Hello,

Thank you for your interest in my Skyline. The car is in absolutely perfect condition, no scratches, dings, dents or other imperfections. Always adult driven and garaged. Clear title. Price is $26,200 AU if you buy now. Firstly, I need to tell you that I recently moved to Budapest, Hungary due to work and family. Since I have no more relatives back home, I brought the car with me thinking that I could register it here. However, because of the big differences between the AU emissions and the local ones, I can't register it. Here is what I suggest: you make the payment in an ebay managed trust fund ( they hold the money until you receive the car ), I send the car over, you can inspect it, take it to a mechanic to check it out, drive it. If, by any reason, you will not be satisfied with it ( even though I can assure you that it is exactly as described), you can return it at my expense for a full refund of your money, no questions asked. I think this is more than fair for the both of us. If you agree, please provide your full name and shipping address and I will get everything started immediately. Afterwards, ebay will invoice you the transaction details and payment instructions. All you will need to do is follow through with their guidelines.

Thanks

To which someone replied with:

Hi George,

Thankyou for your prompt reply to my enquiry.

It seems rather impractical to send the car half way round the world for an inspection. I have family members in Vienna - whom I have already contacted via instant messanger- who would be more than happy to drive to Budapest and inspect the car. If you can provide me with a phone number, an address and times when the GTR would be available to view I can pass it on. My cousin is a mechanic who builds and races BMWs and is very knowledgable about cars. This would save you a lot of time and hassle of organising shipping and insurance to Australia. Perhaps you could also forward some recent photos of the car in Budapest. I have never been there and would love to see shots of the GTR surrounded by the city. Can you confirm how many doors the vehicle has as your description on ebay says 4 but I can only count two in the photos. Certainly a 4 door GTR is extremely rare but you've already stated how unique this car is.

Thanks

hahah i nearly got scammed once.

i sent an email containing the worst things you can ever say to a human being.

i dont know how they feel when they saw that.
