I dont know, the ad says the car is in the UK but it looks like it has American plates on it. Don't they have those big ass plates over there?

Scam!

The car is in Tennessee, I recognize the tags. I emailed him and if it is for real, this will be my next car!!!!

Definitely a scam. They even put "sunroof", "cassette player", and "side airbags" as options. Someone's just looking to make a quick buck. You ought to report their ass to Ebay.

It also has a dealer's plate holder that says "Two Rivers Ford". Stay away from that one.

 

[TnPaulMan]

Two Rivers is here in Nashville. I think the dude has a home there in England as well as here.

Looks real to me

 

[hydroshutter]

If that wasn't a scam, i'd still buy that car

It'd kill my budget but it'd be worth it...

Scam. Let us know how it goes down. Do NOT give any info to the guy. Especially bank info.

 

[TnPaulMan]

I think this might be for real. Gonna wait for another email and then I will post the info that I got. I have figured that shippping will be around $1,000 from whatever port in England to Charlston.

So that would be a helluva deal.

 

[PhLoBuS]

hmm fishy...

 

[USAOwnz]

Fishy! Doesn't have those big plates, the price do they even sell cobras in the UK?

 

[TnPaulMan]

Ok y'all. I did all the leg work on the car and it seems legit however I am working on getting another car instead. Something I can actually see.

Here is the content of the first email:

"Hello there,
Here are the terms that we both should take care in order to bring this deal
to an end.
The car is 100% working,no flaws or dents,no scratches or any kind of
damage,no flood or wrecked and it has a US clear title,no engine problems,
the interior looks great.
I moved to UK and the car is here as well.I need to sell the car because it
has no value here,I can't drive it in UK,it has the steering wheel on the
left side.
SHIPPING:
Shipping will be done by boat and the car will arrive in about 7 days. The
car will be inssured at the shipping company for the transport.
PAYMENT:
The payment will be completed using Ebay security I want to take this
opportunity to assure you that this deal is 100% LEGIT.
Mail me soon and let me know if you are interested.
Thank you!"

Asked about shipping and the reply:

"Dear Paul,
the shipping cost is around $2000,but we will split and each of us will pay
$1000.
Debbie"

I say, well I don't know what to say.

Paul
