He could drive that car into any dealership in the country and get at least $15k more than his "buy it now" price. No fuss, no muss... quick easy sale. So why sell it on ebay for so little? Definitely a scam.

Always, over the weekends and long holidays the scammers are out in full force hijacking accounts and posting scams. They know ebay will not be up and running to do anything about this for awhile.

Agree, just got a scam email from supposedly "Paypal" asking me to reset my account... I was curious enough to check the address and noticed that it is a scam...
Careful guys

Re: $49K for \'06 coupe a scam or for real?

BTW, I sent the guy an email asking some stupid questions, just to see if he responds back in english. Or something more like broken english.

UPDATE:
I just got his response:

Hello there and thanks for your interest


As you've probably already seen on my auction
the price I'm looking for my 2006 Dodge Viper SRT-10 Coupe is $49,000.00. I know that I can probably get more for it if i will wait but I need the money soon for a big investment .
The car is in perfect condition, there's not even a
scratch on it. Everything from the motor to the tiers
and mirrors is shining and looking brand new.
I have a clear title for it , no liens or loans.I'm curently out of the country with some business.
The car is located in Norton Ma.
I will only deal through eBay for our own protection so they act as a neutral third party.
They will hold and insure your money until receipt of the car in good conditon.
You will be gived a 15 days inspection period before releasing the payment.
If you wish to purchase it please provide me your full name and address so I can initiate the deal through Ebay.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Warm Regards,

Michael

Any scenario where you get the message "I'm currently out of the country" is pretty much the confirmation of a scam. I'd love to see ya get a eal like that, but it's 99.999% certainly not kosher.

I cannot believe that there are fools that fall for that crap. I find several scams a week on ******-bay. Some want you to send funds, others simply want you to email them directly so that they obtain your email address and sell it to spammers. Buyers beware.

I reported this auction to E bay several days ago, they have yet to cancel the auction...

Just to see what would happen I sent an e mail to the seller asking a couple questions and got the same response as this one.
