Saw a great series one in Paso Robles today. Didn't have my camera with me, but went over the car pretty well for some time and it is one of the most rust-free examples I have seen lately. One of the dogleg seams is a bit puffy and the battery tray is flaking in places, but otherwise I found no rust. Body very straight. AZ car. Frame rails totally clean and solid. Inner seams of rear wells solid. Rear deck area solid. Pulled carpet up and found nothing. Almost no undercoating. Both floor pans show signs of 'off-road' excursions. The car is not pretty, but I was shocked at how solid it was. Was the goldenrod colour, but repainted red. Paint not too good. 2.9 stroker with maybe 1000 miles. E31. Triple 44's with short Mikuni runners, long horns and a nice ITG. Full polyurethane. 1" front and 7/8" rear-orieneted ST bar. Holly red. Interior pretty shot and seats ripped. 4-speed. A/R alloys. Oh, and unfortunately, a sunroof. $3500 OBO. Call Dustin at 805-239-5761 or call 602-363-9473 or NICODEMUS@TCSN.net

Oh, and Illumina's and lowered springs.

David Watson just emailed me for my car. I was trying to sell my wheels on Zcar.com and DavidWatson@Alloymail.com emailed me saying he wants my car and that he will pay with a cashiers check.

SCAMMER WATCH OUT

Do people STILL fall for that scam anymore? Geez Louise, it's so obvious that it's a rip off. Time for a new, more innovative scam, don't you think.

Vicky

Yes, They still pull it, because, yes they still fall for it.

Man, WHY can't we jail these guys. I'm all for the laws of Islam, they can't email scams with no hands.

Meanwhile, That car is a deal. Well worth the price in good parts alone.

Damn! I just got another! What is it with this particular ad?

About a month ago, I was looking for a BMW for the wife. I came across one on Yahoo! automobile classifieds. What caught my attention was the fact that the car was selling for about 1/3 than what it should Blue Book for.

As luck would have it, I saw the same car on eBay and smelled a rat on the Yahoo! post.

Here’s what transpired:

Dear Sir,

The car it is available and is in excellent condition, no accidents .The price is $8000 US and it includes shipping costs. But you must know that the car is located in London, United Kingdom. This is my personal car and I have posted the ad on this web site because I want to sell in US . The car has US title and is clean so you will not have any problems when you will register it. The car has passed the emissions test and comes with all the documents you need to register. The total shipping cost from London to your location is $2000 US and I will need these money in advance to take care of the fees. As soon as the car arrives, you will test the car and if it does not match 100% your expectations, you will return it in maximum 15 days from the arrival date. In this case I will send you the full amount back, upon receipt of the car. Time is an important issue for me, but obviously security and buyer satisfaction are of greater importance.

I sincerely hope to do this transaction with you.

<b>My Response to the Scam Artist</b>

Hello XXXX@aol.com,

I am very interested in the car! However, I am somewhat confused. I found the same vehicle (based on VIN) for sale in Los Angeles, and by your account for sale in the UK. Furthermore, there is a significant price difference between the two ads.

I am a trusting person by nature, but something doesn't seem quite right. I have courtesy copied the individual selling the car on ebay. Perhaps you would like to discuss the true ownership of the vehicle.

Cordially,

Ed

<b>Response Back from the True Owner</b>

Ed

The person posting this ad on Yahoo has stolen the picture and description from my eBay ad and is obviously a fraud. I can provide a copy of the title showing that I am the owner of the car. Ask the other seller if he can do the same. I expect if you ask, that you will not get a response. Also the price is extremely suspicious. This would be a steal (literally) if you could get it for this price.

Thanks for letting me know. I will contact the necessary authorities to apprehend this thief.

Regards

Paul

<b>Funny...I never got a reply back from the Scammer</b>

i got the same message from that guy in scottland about my webbers for sale in z car.com

by the way im new here so hello everyone

I told this one "wire transfer only" and she disappeared

I think the same guy contact me. He sent me a check for $30,000. I have it right here in my hand. I knew it was fake from the first email he sent. I just wanted to see if the check was going to come. He has been calling me on the phone. You believe that. He is calling me from Nigeria. I gave the information to the secret service to deal with him. I have the guys cell. You want it?
