It makes me mad specially seeing they advertising they have side airbags, when it does not. So maybe someone maybe fooled into buying it thinking it has got these safety features when it does not.

If you really wanna **** them off, just send multiple requests on Carsales. Costs them $48 per new email submitted as an enquiry.

Now that's a great idea! Everyone should do this.

I've also sent a message pointing out that this clearly isn't an FPV.

I've reported it to eBay as well.

I just sent him a heap of questions on Ebay. Has anyone had any response to the questions? I pointed out the lack of rear power windows, asked what happened to the 4th valve per cyclinder and who pinched the original rims and bonnet? No reply as of yet. Actually this thief is just down the road from me. Might pay him a visit on my next day off!

half the dealers on ebay are dodgy anyway, they always say 60,000 or 80,000 etc, then you ask how many genuine k's, oh its got 167,000

I have just sent this to him will see if he gets back to me Im guessing not.


Just like to know why your selling a XT as a GT?? Its not even got GT seats, Dash, rims. It is just a mock up it dosent even have the correct Engine in it LOL the steering wheel is not a Momo.. So do you still think its a GTP????
If it is can you tell me its Build No.?? Ill bet no as it would be printed on the gear surround..

Good luck with it

What I can't understand is this is a well known dealer. Surely as a dealer they know this is a fake. They have lost credibility by doing this. Having said that, if someone buys this fake, they deserve it for not doing any research. Anyway, what FPV can you get for $14990? As soon as I saw the price I knew it was fake before even looking at the car.

Enquiry sent off, telling him it's an XT not an FPV. Hopefully he gets lots of these and he learns an expensive yet valuable lesson about false advertising.

What a jerk, I hope it really does cost $48 an enquiry, I just sent him this
"Gee that's really cheap for a GT-P, is that because you've removed the power windows, leather trim, 18" inch rims, one valve per cyclinder, FPV instrument cluster, side skirts and Momo steering wheel?

Or are you just trying to rip people off?
Can I have the FPV build number please? If it really is genuine I might travel to SA to snap up this bargain"

We should ask him if he has a Certificate of Authenticity. I bet he has one too! It would be some bodgy, hand written, scrap piece of paper, or a photocopy of a genuine one with whited out build numbers
Where is the build plate number that is meant to be in the centre console?
I love the black molds running down the side of it!
I honestly thought that I had found a gem for everyone to laugh at last night, but this takes the cake
