Your opinion alone doesn't qualify this as a scam. Unless you have more to back this claim up, there was no reason to make this assumption. I assume you just wanted to be heard.

Wow - jumped to that conclusion quick...

Its funnny that he didnt even bother to rotate the pictures so you could see them.

Why put up a reserve that is so low ? Doesnt having a reserve cost more ??

and i doubt he went up in someone drive way and snapped off ten or more pictures, he has the vin number as well.....doesn't really look like a scam to me...now if he said he was a marine stationed in BFE and had to ship it to u and wire transfer blah blah blah different story, there is a dodge viper listed for 9000 and it also says dodge stealth, i was confused and emailed the guy and he came back with the response i mentioned above...THATS A SCAM

Wow, calm down. Quick to jump on that one huh?

Anyways, the vertical pics pics alone annoy me enough to not look at it further.

monkeys right thats not necessarily a scam...it could be...probably not. Some guy was trying to sell me an 04 m3 once for 9k in mint condition only i had to pay 2k to see it because "it was in europe and he would have sold it in europe but it didnt meet european specs" that kind of thing has scam written all over it. Either way I wouldnt by a car on ebay without seeing the car and driving it, autotrader is much better place to be looking becuase u can find local cars.

If it's not a scam, then the guy is stupid. His reserve is $11k lower than what he wants to get for it.

Seems like your talking about yourself buddy....

Obviously its just my opinion, I'm not an expert in deciding what is a scam and what isn't, nor or you

Just thought I'd share something I thought was unusual, I found on Ebay

To me, it seemed like it had some of the classic characteristics of scams I'v seen in the past

I've read where punks will view the VIN, write it down and take the VIN to a dealer to get a new key made---that they 'lost' . Anyone know if a Ford dealer will do that just on the punk's say-so?

Might be a good idea to cover your VIN with a piece of electrical tape as we can't by law remove it and wouldn't want to do that anyway?

It looks legitimate according to CarFax. The owner is in MD, It has one accident report on record in MD. Doesn't show as totalled, just an accident with another motor vehicle.
