I found this listing on eBay... It looks ligit on eBay, however, a few months ago, this SAME car, and SAME pics was up on autotrader.com and was for sale for something like $20,000... The "seller" whom I was emailing, because I figured "SCAM!!" and wanted to know more, but anyways, he had some outragous story about he was living in London, and his son was having health problems, and he needed to move to London to be with him, and wanted to sell it for $20,000 because he needed to get rid of it ASAP. He said he and the car were from Colorado I believe. He then wanted me to put down a deposit, ROFL! What a scam, but now this is on eBay... It says the seller is part of VCA...

There is a lot of scams i've noticed on autotrader.com

Gotta remember anybody can lift pictures off the net, setup an account on autotrader and call it theirs. You have to do SOME research before buying anything this expensive :p

I've also run across a couple of Ebay and AutoTrader scams. When I was searching for a Viper, it seemed like 75% of the phone numbers I called from AutoTrader knew nothing about the Viper that was listed. However, the Viper I bought did end up coming from AutoTrader, and I've been very satisfied with the car and the entire transaction of buying it.
