Hmm I didn't know XC's were available with "GT options" and that you could fit a "strutted" 9 inch

No way is that legit.........maybe those pics are before it was stolen and burntout.

Other people type faster than me lol

I think this is a popular scam on ebay it happens all the time same as asking for western union etc.

If they ever ask for it to be done off ebay 99% of the time its a scam!

First I want to thank you for question about the car. The car is in perfect condition, with no scratches on it, no damage. It have all the papers and document. The price is $6,200 including the shipping to your address (only in Australia). The car is registered in Australia on my name and address but currently I am located in London, UK because I just finished the divorce with my husband and i have moved here to my parents home. The payment will be made through eBay and only after you will receive the car, I will receive the payment.

If you are interested in buying it please provide me your full name and address so I can initiate the deal through eBay.
I will wait your answer(if you are interested to buy) very soon

Yep, I saw it yesterday and was tempted to send him an email calling him a scammer but was afraid he might get upset with me and start bombarding me with emails so thought better of it

Dazza XLT · 01-08-2009, 08:21 PM

Just report them, then the listing will magically disappear.

What's he going to do, beat you up on the innernet? These sorts of people fleece thousands of dollars out of unsuspecting people. Stuff him.

Easy scam though for those not knowing ..... send a deposit but will never see a thing.

What about the extra 30k you would need to get that on the road? If described as "Needs full resto and has heaps of rust ... " for an ebay add means .... "There is a little bit of car left ...." Would say someones bought it cheap from the states and has arrived, opened the container and gone :My god ... what have I done!: ........ carefull is all I am saying as I pormise you ... from looking at the rust outside .... there will be nothing left on the inside!

Hey was that a white XC, it came up on Pistonheads over here, said it was in London, although it clearly still had Aussie plates on it!
I reported it and got the ad pulled.
I have to say I feel sorry for the guy who actually does own that car, he is going to have a hard time when he does eventually sell it!
