    yeah first is not original but can be returned to specs, and second one is cheap dead cheap i bet it still wont reach reserve as they sell for at least 80,000, i think i saw one sell for around that the other month on ebay or that didnt reach reserve.
    The ultimate car but, ill settle for a VP GTS

    My thoughts exactly. Even the engine and blower by itself would sell for wayyyy more than $8000..........

    Bah, its $8k man of course its a scam.

    You think its a coincidence that all his pictures have been taken off Ebay?

    The car is obviously real (its not like he drew it in photoshop), the ebay listing is not.

    Yeah i'd agree there, no doubt the car is real, but the listing = EPIC FAIL.


    Dirty scam artists. I feel sorry for the people who are unsuspecting and buy items like that.

    I would say it might be a mistake, I know it's not the be all and end all but he has been a member for a while and has decent feedback. I didn't notice the price to be honest.

    If it's not fake, it would have to be a mistake at that price. No one in their right mind would sell that for that price.

    94.7% on a 34 rating isn't that great.

    Im pretty sure those pictures are just pictures taken off an ebay slideshow in a different listing (hence the camera in the bottom right of the pics).

    I do remember seeing this car on Ebay before, and I have pictures of it on my laptop, one of which is the same as one in the Ebay listing.

    And if it IS in Sydney, why does it still have the VIC plates on it?

    Why does he say the plates are MYGPA when its MYGRPA? Another mistake?

    Yup, about 6mths ago? Maybe earlier? It was bidding into the 20-30k range. This, however, is EXACTLY the same set of photos, but taken from EBay. Not originals.

    Total scam O_o

    OK so i emailed the dude and this is what he said

    "Hello there,
    Thank you for contacting me about the car.The car is in perfect condition, has no damage, no scratches or dents, no hidden defects is in immaculate condition, meticulously maintained and hasn't been involved in any accident. The motor runs awesome. The tires are like new and also have clear title. I want you to know that the car is registered in Australia on my name and address but now I am currently in Berlin,Germany and the car is here as well and it will be shipped from here.
    Buy it now price is AU $7,900.00 with shipping/handling included. It will be insured during transportation and will be delivered in 5 business days at your door.
    The payment will be made through eBay and only after you will receive the car,I will receive the payment.
    How it works: You will send the money to eBay who will verify the payment and if the money are available they will notify me to proceed with the shipping process.
    After you receive and see that the car is the one you want, you just notify eBay to give me the money.
    If the car is not as I've described it,you will get FULL refund from ebay,upon the return of the item in original condition (return postage at my expense).
    In order to start the deal I need YOUR FULL NAME and SHIPPING ADDRESS so I can register the transaction with eBay.
    If you agree with these terms, please email me now and I will be more than glad to start to complete the transaction with you.
    Please respond quickly,
    Thanks "
