Default auctions like this make me wonder...

...new seller, no feedback, high ticket item...no mention of legitimacy.

i know one shouldn't jump to conclusions w/o all the info first, but the recent rash of you know whats just reminds me of the dark side of itr ownership

anyone need a motor?

it really sucks that Ebay doesnt have some kind of comments thing for their auctions, to ask questions and comments, so responsible people can post up when someone is trying to pull a fast one like that.

"nice VIN number...OH WAIT, IT DOESNT HAVE ONE"

From what I have heard, JDM motors don't have a vin on them.

I think the JDM ITR Trannies dont have the LSD stamp, but they have VINs from what i know. could be wrong though so if anyone is sure please correct me.

The seller should also POST the VIN # to prove its authenticity. It looks shady as hell to me but I have a pretty low opinion of E-bay anyway.

not to mention he doesnt give his address at all in the location spot.
I dont think its a stolen engine or anything. I just dont think he has an engine at all and the person that "wins" the auction is going to get screwed.

After looking at his other auctions, they are all engines also. Hmmmm makes you wonder. His description of the products definately sound like a used car salesman as JuzOmni said.

The one pic with the white background is probably one he stole. WHo knows if the other one is real or not
