onephatz Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 so I see this ad on autotrader.com for a g35 for $7500. I'm like no way this is right but just to be on the safe side I shoot out an email thru autotrader to the owner to see if it was a typo or what. here is what I get back. Hello, First thank you for your email regarding my car. The car is in a perfect condition, the milage is accurate, no scratches, no damages, no hidden defects.Kept it in a warm garage. My boyfriend is devastated that we have to sell it but we have to pay too much money for register it here,so we decide to sell it. My company have relations in States and I worked there for 2 years. I has the oportunity to buyit from there and bring it with me when I come back.The car was buyed from US, so it is US standards,so stay cool it´s perfect compatibile to your standards and you will don´t have to pay more duty taxes on it. And this is an impediment for me to sell it here caus,first, we have a different standards and second will be very expensive for me to register it here.I have to pay an very expensive duty taxes.The price for this car is $7,500.00 USD.The car it is still register in States.What other info would you like on it? It will be shipped from London,England and i will pay the shipping and insurance charges.I will do the arrangements for shipping from here.The original receipt and all remainded warranty information packet with enrollment number is included for you. If necessary ever I will assist you in getting warranty help; most people just dump it on you with a useless warranty. The payment will be done via secure pay which means that the third party will keep the money until you receive and inspect the car. You have 10 days to inspect the car.I will wait for your email to let me know if you are interested in knowing more details about the purchase. Best Regards Daniele so after I figure this is pretty much a scam considering the crappy english and ultra low price. so now I'm gonna do the only thing that the little guy can do... waste the scammers time. note the ad is no longer on autotrader.com. more to come jesse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruez Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 I went through the same thing with a '65 Vette on ebay that was listed for only a few minutes then taken off. Said the car was in the Netherlands. I dragged him on for a couple weeks then unleashed an email like I have never typed before in my life. bunch of aholes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spdsk8r Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 I scammed a scammer on autotrader with the same story only for a 2002 BMW M3. I strung them along for two weeks, then contacted Autotrader and told them the add was a scam. It was gone in less than a day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
