Flights to England are cheap in the winter. Less than $500 RT. It would be worth flying out there to see if it is for real. If it is you got yourself a deal. If it isn't you got yourself a nice trip to England. Good beer there at least.

Guys common use your heads! This is the REAL WORLD you don't get everything for nothing!

The only place to get that kind of a deal would be in JAPAN no questions asked.

Also even if it was real add the transport, and the duties which are HUGE because you are taxed on real market value and then if something is wrong you have no way of getting back at those people.

If I see one more is this car from England a scam question I am gonna FLIP!!!!

England Rx-7, Supra, Skyline = SCAM

Real world prices mean real world cars>.....

End this thread

BEWARE!!!

That is a scam. That is the car of a member here. Codaxx is his avator.
Also, those apartment complexes are Willow Brook Apts in Reno NV. I used to live there lol!!!!!!!!

I can't beleive how much effort these people put into their scams. This person also pulled those pics off of this forum. Search thru his posts and you'll find those pics from when he was selling it for like 18k or something.

Scam all the way.. i almost got scammed.. but i caught it..and got my money back.. i dont trust any overseas transactions.. like everyone on here says if its too good to be true then it really is.. report it to autotrader so they can take that ad off.. dont let these scammers get anyone.. thats pretty messed up..

IT'S A SCAM!!!! I found countless scams just like this when I was shopping for my FD.

You'll find them for alot of cars like the FD and Supras.

Do a search and you'll find many who all live outside US, want to use squaretrade and want a deposit.

I called one guys bluff. He said car was in U.K. and I told him what a coincidence I am in U.K. on business and would love to meet and see car... he dodged me for 2 days then never resonded again.

Please report this listing to autotrader.com as we all should.

In the 2 months I shopped for my car I came across at least 7 scams that I was sure were scams.

I had one similar experience as well, though my prospective car was in Illinois. Luckily, I live about 8 hours away, and when I offered to pick up the car the seller "mysteriously" stopped returning my calls. :rolleyes:

SCAM. The first three cars I looked at on Autotrader were scams. First two in Sofia, Bulgaria and the third in Milano, Italy, and I believe I ran across another one who said he was in England but the car was in the U.S. Run, don't walk, away from this one. I want to bust these scumbag assholes so bad.

So are you going to send it to the guy so he doesn't get ripped off or what? That sure would be nice of you, lol.

That it's ugly as hell. :pat:

AutoTrader.com is basically useless from what I've seen. I attempted to sell a car on there and the ad ran for like 12 weeks. I got about 2 legit emails and 30 emails from people over in other countries were "looking to buy the car for thier client." If you can't see the car in person, it is a scam.

sehnsucht_musik 12-23-05 03:24 PM

I pretty much assumed that it was a scam, I am not a total idiot. I knew I saw the pictures somewhere before. I just wanted some confirmation that it was, so I wouldnt feel bad for letting a possibly good deal go. But anyways, thanks alot guys, even if I thought something was legit, I dont even think I would pay over the web, I would want to pick the car up personally, what a world we live in... lol

canadaisintexas 12-23-05 03:51 PM

Ive been through this a few times. My personal favorite method of dealing with it works like this.

They claim they are in england correct?
They claim they have the car in their possesion in england

Once in a lifetime this could be a legit bargain so

Ask for a pic of the car, by a street sign (all nations street signs are different pretty much) with them in the picture holding up a certain # of fingers. If they are legit they will think wtf but most likely do it because they want it gone.
