It's one of those, car is overseas in the US at the moment, (extra $50k to ship it back to Australia)... People should grow up when selling things really.

This listing (#4605407169) has been removed or is no longer available. Please make sure you entered the right item number.
If the listing was removed by eBay, consider it cancelled. Note: Listings that have ended more than 90 days ago will no longer appear on eBay. Try searching for another item now. Well its gone now. 9k is a scam |

 The majority of stuff on ebay is overpriced, dont know why people go there. as for second hand stuff... well its possible to pickup a bargain, but how can you tell you're not buying off a criminal that just stole it from a guy down the road. ebay really look after customers when they let people sell email addressese (that would normally be free) and allow fraud like this to become commonplace and accepted. if they really cared about customers, they would moderate the items placed on there more. Hear about the guy that paid heaps for the xbox 360 picture? what an idiot, he thought he was getting the actual xbox console.  :

Why would someone sell a 70K for 9K when you could easliy get 45++ for it? Go figure. Also no engine or VIN numbers supplied.

the user name selling it has been hijacked. Its what happens when you get all those dodgy ebay emails. Its just another fake.

I seem to remember a few of these (Oz cars being sold from O/S for ridiculous prices on Ebay) The story usually revolves around the guy having transferred O/S for his job, taking his car with him & it not being compliant for that country or whatever.
Anyhow, I believe the sting is.. The method of payment. And it's NOT the usual Ebay "PayPal"... It's .. deposit in some other Shonky setup. Their given reason is because the same shonk place covers shipping & door to door "saving you heaps"!! Wasn't there one on here a while bacK?

How dumb would you be, sure the guy moves overseas is beliveable, but pays to take the car all that way just to sell it and send it back, Hrrm you would have to be pretty dumb to go for that...

"Hi! I'm an ex-pat Aussie living in Chicago myself. I'd love a BA over here, and seeing as you've got one for sale, at only $9k, I couldn't resist. I'll come pick it up, so no shipping!"
I'd love to buy it with that as a story.
