Default Need Approvals!!

Ok so i have been looking around at rx-7 on ebay, and i came across a fairly cheap rx-7

The "owner" says its his sons car, his son died in iraq two months ago, bottum price on the car is $2,950. He said that it is a brand new paintjob, brandnew engine, car was just serviced, the car only has 38,000 miles on it. Sound way to good to be true. Just wondering if anyone has seen this rx-7 around, in magazines, online pictures and what not. I think im getting jerked off here, car is located in texas, the ebay description named every part on the car, showed the VIN number, showed the car was inspected, and that has a waranty check next to the car, i think im getting jerked off here, someone please let me know what they think thank you link is on bottum

I would say this is a SCAM! Run the other way.

its possible it could of been one of those cars from hurricane katrine...people are tryin to sell them dirt cheap to get rid of them...of course it has a new engine and paintjob...its hard to sell a car when the engine is full of water and the rocks that came flying at your car rip the paint off...i dont know, i would check into it more. you never know though!

Total scam...there is no way that car would be going for under $3,000. (the wheels/tires and that CF hood are probably worth more than the asking price.) I know if my son had been killed in the military I would never sell their vehicle, especially for that cheap (look at the houses in the pics, doesn't look like they are hurting for money)

My friend built an early Bronco for Ted Nugent and put the pics on his website...a couple of months later some jackhole put up an ebay add trying to sell that truck. The pics were taken from my friend's website and the parts list from the build was there as well. The guy was asking $6,000 for the truck and mentioned nothing about it being Ted Nugent's truck (his name is embroidered on the seats in the pics for christ sake.) Ebay was contacted and the person lost their seller ID.

There are TONS of these scams out there.
