Didn't I tell you guys that the bottom was falling out of Viper pricing. I just emailed elmush and told him to hold the car for me. I would bring cash.
How can eBay allow such an obvious scam?

HAHA I emailed this loser and offered him $12500 this was his response.
Hello dear eBayer,

First of all let me tell you that I am pleased that are interested in
my
eBay auction.

The 'pre-approved buyer' feature has been added to prevent non serious
buyers from ending the auction early, I hope you have no problem with
that.
You have to know that the car I am selling is 100% working and great
looking, no flaws or dents, no scratches or any kind of damage, no
flood or
wrecked, the interior looks amazing.
I just moved to Portugal because my wife is Portuguese and she wanted
to be
closer to her parents as they are old and very ill. The car is here
with us
as well. We are expecting a baby in a few weeks and I really want to
improve
the old house we bought when we moved in time for the baby.

I have bought and registered the car back in the United States , but
unfortunately I wasn't able to register it here in Europe. For that I
have
pay a very big fee and I will also have to start an individual
procedure for
the vehicle through the Government and I really can't afford those
expenses
right now with the baby on the way.

Those are the reasons why the price I want for it is just $15,000.00
USD.
Shipping will be done by boat and the car will arrive in 5-7 days. The
car
will be inssured at the shipping company for the transport. All
documents,
including owner's manual in english, clear title and bill of sale will
be
provided along with the car.

I will need a $4,000 US deposit in order to ship the car with the
ballance
to be paid upon receiving the vehicle. The transaction will be made
under
eBay's buyer protection plan called Square Trade.

I'm a serious seller and a fair trader and I prefer to deal only with a
serious buyer. If you consider yourself one please e-mail me back so we
can
start our deal.
So, please reply back with your full name and shipping address and your
eBay
username if you are really interested in purchasing this car so we can
start
the arrangements!

My best wishes!

The ad says the car is located in El Paso, but he says the car is in Portugal?
I've contacted ebay and alerted them to this scam, but I doubt they'll do anything about it.

I already wired him the money via Western Union.... Waiting for delivery!!!!

I beat you to it. All he required from me was my credit card number, and my social security number. :cool:

You snooze, you lose.

I just got the same response from him after my email. I asked for a street address so I could fly over and check out the car. I'm awaiting his reply.
