[XRCISM]

I have sent an email - no response. The other half reckons this is a scam. Check it out on this link EBAY FPV

[Josh_XC]

yeh mate its a scam, there are cars like this all over ebay like this price, and there all a scam, Search these forums there have been hundreds of users with threads asking this exact question.

[Falcon_Phill]

How many have to be posted here before people realise.

[mattri]

sent email too, no reponse, scammer

[GTWHOA]

What the? something suss is going on. Is that just the starting bid??

[XRQTR]

And those plates look familiar too, I'm sure I've seen this car here somewhere, change your thread title to show the rego number as well and I bet you will find the real owner lol, might be good to let them know there ex might be trying to sell there car LMFAO.

[XRCISM]

This isn't an auction - it's a classified ad with that as the price!
It's obviously a scam but good point about it being someone's car from the Forums .... thread title updated to include car rego

[Full Noise]

I’ve sent an e-mail to him asking, what’s the catch. :hihi:

[WillyG351c]

notice there is no engine number so you cant REVS check it!
you need vin and engine to check it!

Sounds good. Best deal ever! :

[banarcus]

I'd say someone's Ebay account has been hijacked too with that feedback.

[joe260]

Theres no way that this car is for sale for that price thats not right!!! thats way to cheap!! who would be that stupid to sell a gt at that price thats rediculous!! nice car definately a beautiful car!!

[GTP-814]

you can check with FPV to match the rego number against the build number. Also the description says it has a cassett player & no way & not in pics either.

[joe260]

also notice in the first photos compared to others has different wheels

[joe260]

it also says original suspension then says there are KING SPRINGS AND BILSTEIN SHOCKS?? and i had a look at the interior photos... NO CASSETTE player. and im 99.99% positive the ba falcons all come with cd players.. i would know coz i own one

[Ford_V8]

Someone should ask him who signed the engine cover :P

[eXtremist]

In most cases they don't even ask for your money.

Most people will email the person, which will generate a huge email list and it'll be sold off to people all over the world which is why you get spam.

eBay is to blame, they should validate listings before they're published.

eBay make so much money it ain't funny.

[Jason[98.EL]]

yup its a scamm just tried a vin check on it and it dont mach

[FPV8U]

Another Scam...

[bob 351]

The feedback is not a problem, look at the seller box, it says no feedback is given for classifieds.

and even if the car was written off etc, it would still be worth a tad more than 10k ...lol

Well I sent my $10K cash, this is a real bargain. I hope I dont have to wait too long for my car though. The seller said he is shipping it from Nigeria as he cannot drive it there anymore after the King declared some type of ban on high performance cars - does anyone know how long the shipping time from Nigeria usually takes?

crikies Merlin i sure hope this is a leg pull.
theres warnings about them on every forum from bikes to boats and even boat motors.
brand new $23,000 outboards for $5000 is one i read recently,he even said he would go through ebays third party safety measure but needed a deposit of $1000, same old story about living overseas , the other one was a month or so ago with another XY GT,i told him my brother or mate could come and look at it as they lived in same country just a few miles away,
you guessed it, no more replies.

She'll be right - this guy seems like a really nice Nigerian fellow. After I paid he emailed me and said he felt bad as he had recently put a small scratch on the car when he hit a refugee (hows that for honesty!). He said I could have the car for $9K now as long as I emailed him my bank account details so he could refund the $1K. Sent off the details but it seems these international transfers take a long time as the $1K hasnt arrived yet.
