Potential scam??? It looks to me like it probably a hijacked ad just like many other ads on ebay.

 

I like how it rates it at 130hp. lets see 22 extra hp from a catback and a ebay intake nice.

 

hey bro, Im not bashing your info. but what if YOU are bidding on this and spreading this crap to get the car cheep. I dont know you. You dont know me, but if you are really nervious about this, Send the e-mail to ebay.
Hes also said hes going to use EBAYS protection. If you dont get the car. he doesnt get the money. and vise versa. NJ isnt that far from NY if I got my Map right.

 

Gator hates Rio Red with a passion and would never buy a rio red CRX again. He is right, that is a canadian car

So what if its a Canadian car. maybe it was driven FROM canada. You guys are close minded. If you find it a scam good for you. but I see no problem in the guys response to his e-mail.

 

I once bid on an engine and I received a scam-letter very much like this.. Promises of the eBay Motor protection 'n all that bullshit.. I've never even heard of that crap.
I wouldn't bid on that auction without consulting eBay directly, or sumat.. But hey, guess that's just me being close minded.
Or as we like to say in Europe "Not completely effin' gullible".

ok also the fact is, we cant import those cars at this point for some stupid reason...

and check this out. he says the car has 180,000 miles, yet his gas tank reads in KM's...wtf...

and no im not trying to get a 2nd crx, so you can stop thinking that...i sent him an email telling him i will pick up the car with 3k cash in my hand and ill see what he says...

 

i think its a scam, this is exactly the same crx i saw a month or so ago for sale. last time he wanted 3800 i believe. but yeah i think its highjacked.

 

I see no reason to believe that this auction is not legit. I would be willing to take a plane all the way to NJ to pick this car up at this price and drive it home. Awesome condition! If you're unsure then check the vehicle history report. He said that he is the original owner of this car. The VIN could be fake but it's worth a try. I have seen a CRX SE here in the US. And the guy that owned it lived here. It was back in 1995-1996 and it sure was sweet!

 

I ran the VIN and there have been multiple title transfers for the car so he is probably not the original owner. The last record for the car was from 2003 when it failed emissions in California It has also been registered in ID and CA but never in Jersey so I would be wary.

I said the car is in Livingston but did not said I'm there also. Sorry for that. I'm a hotel manager, now in Hawai actualy and will not be there to hand it over or something like that.
This is why we'll work through Yahoo Payments and they will keep the money untill the purchase is final and you test it and accept it.
Sorry for not being clear from the begining, my fault.
Thank you.</TD></TR></TABLE>

 

Umm, what?

 

happens alot

 

sounds like scam

 

cant make out any plates or street signs, but it has a plate on it and no reg or inspection stickers in the window.

and the engrish email replies don't match the very american english ebay description.

 

i agree with rsca_crx, especially on the mis-matched language. he could have just copied/hyjacked an old ad. if it were me, and i were wanting this car, i would contact him, drive down there and look at it before purchasing, and verify the vins between the chassis, webpage, and title even. if he's not willing to do that, theres more crx's out there.

 

well when you win the item hes gonna say use this escrw which of course will be fake. alonjg with a few fake emails from ebay saying that its safe. boo

It's a scam...no Canadians are allowed in Hawaii. It was a pact we signed with them in 1984.

eBay feedback of 1 ? I wouldnt buy a bowl from someone with that low a score!

NOTHING!!! SCAMERS F*&#ing suck.
