I know it aint to everyones taste, what with a Veilside kit on and all (including me , but even with a blown engine 4.5K doesnt sound too bad.  Its got a lot of kit and a pricy re-spray (if its been done well).

theres so many like this on ebay. Like Focus RS\'s for £3500 or something silly.
they\'re all scams. But you got to think. One person falls for it, they make themselves a tidy profit.

just a scam happens to loads of people on forums etc who post lots of pics and info. sometimes somone is trying to sell thier car!

Pistonheads are getting a lot of these scams and are trying to put in place a screening system to stop it. Good luck with it, as it will be very hard to control.

Why can\'t these people just get a job to make money like most of us - rather than come up with rip off scams. The main problem is it\'ll just lead to no one buying stuff off the net for fear of getting scammed, which isn\'t fair on the genuine sellers.

Thats too easy for them!

Oops, here was me thinking it was genuine.  Not that I would have bid, but thanks for the wake-up call gents

I think it was at some point. But if you can rip off a few peeps you make your money back and still have the car....

[Alex T]

oh yes, the other one that is (or was yesterday) on there is genuine.

And I actually quite like it, apart from maybe the fact that the flip is a bit dated now. but how difficult is a respray eh!?

The actual car i like quite a lot. I feel sorry for the guy actually selling the vehicle. I bet a lot of people are being put off the car by seeing it advertised at two very different prices.

I\'m hoping people are becoming more wise to all these scams though!

Another example:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1994-NISSAN-SKYLINE-GT-R-WHITE_W0QQitemZ290150479260QQihZ019QQcategoryZ18238QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

I think the owner is still listing it at the mo on ebay for about £5k.

Another reason these scammers do this is, when people message them asking them "why so cheap" , "would you swap with my nova", "has it got Nos" and whatever other random messages you always get on ebay.
They have then also got your ACTIVE email address, and then sell these email addresses to spam emailers.

So basically, dont message these dodgy ads either!

Didnt think about the active email account - good tip!
