    If it is legit and has had a 3.0 Diesel put under the bonnet you would need to find out where the motor came from, but it sounds like a bunch of crap your better off buying a 3.8 V6 Petrol or 5.0 V8 and be done with it. Though out of curiosity try and get a pic of the ridiculous conversion and what price is he trying to flog it off for?

    Nice, no photo of the motor.

    I think its a scam because you'd have to have it engineered. No way is someone going to do that and then sell it for $500. Its either a mistake or a scam.

    I think its more of a case of him selecting the wrong info when posting it on ebay ive seen plenty of mistakes like this from people who know nothing about cars.

    A scam usually implies ripping someone off with something that doesnt exist

    I wouldn't buy it either way just in case someone did put a diesel in it, though I also think that the wrong info was selected. unless they think it is a 3.0 and have been putting Diesel in it lol

    More likely a VS owner on crack, but you could do worse for 500 bucks, diesel or not.

    Probably just sounds like a diesel !!! Interesting that there are pictures of everything except the engine bay.
