Default AU XR8 on ebay (possibly genuine?)

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI....526613080&rd=1

usually they are being sold for like $9,000 and no one bids on them, but this one started at $6,000 (even more dodgy) but its got 11 bids so far. the seller is new to ebay and so is the top bidder, and to me that seems a little odd. i wouldnt buy a car off ebay regardless, but im wondering what other peoples' take on this particular auction is as it ' ' 'looks' ' ' more authentic than other ones made by morons from overseas spinning yarns about them shipping it to your door or something

I suspect your right... Heres the car advertised somewhere else, which is suspiciously at a similar price to what the auction currently is now.

happens all the time, E-Bay is too big for its people to control, to get away with a scam would be easiest on e-bay

I think so. But I wouldn't buy a car off ebay anyway, even if it was legit.

with regards to buying cars off ebay I dont know anyone that would actually bid on the car personally but my brother purchased his first WRX when he saw it advertised on ebay. he didn't bid but arranged to drive down to ballina to see the car and he bought it. Just another advertising tool unless your close enough to view the car while the auction is on.
