550 HP EVO for only $5000!!!!1111one - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

In case you didn't guess from the title, this is yet another of the eBay scam attempts.

Seems kinda dumb to me. I mean really. Are people going to believe that a $20-30K car is going to be sold for $5K?

Maybe that's some degree of crime. Under $5K isn't a steep penalty if caught. Dunno. Just seems weird.

Atleast you don't have to be pre-approved by seller

slavetothemuzic · 11-11-2005, 10:39 AM

No, but it does have all the other signs. The alleged buy it now, without actually being buy it now. Seller in Canada, etc.

sesolcSTI · 11-11-2005, 02:44 PM

Actually the item location is "United States"......its says SELLS TO: Canada/US. There is a reserve on it as well. Could be a scam, but it may be an error on the sellers part by putting $5k, could of meant $25k or something. Its really not as obvious as most ebay scams. Just my .02

You're right, misread that.

Still has other signs. Buy it now with no buy it now button, so he can negotiate off eBay when you contact him to buy it now, etc.

I'm not messing with it, just stuck out like a turd in a punchbowl when I saw it this AM. When I pick up an Evo, I don't want one that's been modded to hell anyway.

SexyDSM95 · 11-11-2005, 03:02 PM

You realize there are pictures of the rear with the license plate on there. Can't tell where it's from. What's funny is that he spent all this money modding/exterior mods but he has a Crappometer boost gauge lol!

Edit: There is no way $5,000 is just the BUY IT NOW price, because I have the highest bid and the reserve price has not been met.

SexyDSM95 · 11-11-2005, 04:01 PM

He did cancel my bid and ask me to contact him, should I continue this to see if this is a fraud or not? Hell I say if it's for real we pitch in money for a TST Evo!

Weird. I just looked and now it says there are no bids?

Something is definitely fishy.

See what he says. Something tells me he's going to mention a cashiers check.

SexyDSM95 · 11-11-2005, 04:05 PM

This is what I wrote to him:
Hey, you asked me to contact you about this auction? Do you have any dyno slips to prove what you are describing in this vehicle? Also where is it located so I can come pick it up. I have cash in hand. Think you could also send me a VIN so I could do a quick carfax? Spanx

slavetothemuzic · 11-11-2005, 04:09 PM

Can't wait to see what he says.

You could wear a better bra. Or are you one of those girls who takes this sticker seriously.
