Default gotta love ads like this one

http://autotrader.com/fyc/vdp....t=157

anybody care to email this guy and ask them why this car is being sold for a few thousand dollars? i'm hoping it's a nasty ex wife who got custody of the vehicle and is selling it for such a low price just to **** off her ex husband. either that, or the interior is such a turn off, that you'd spend thousands just to have the poor thing restored back to it's OEM condition.

It's not uncommon for people on autotrader to post ridiculously low prices to get attention, or get in searches where they would normally be left out. They usually have no intent to sell it at the price showing, that was just to pull you in.

Also, it could be a scam.

Alrighty gouys, it's nt a scam because, I just bought it for $6,750....

Not too bad, considering I drove it straight to Carmax right after and got $18k for it....

I made a $11K profit in a matter of hours...

Gotta love Arbitrage!

I'd like to see the bill of sale on that. Moreso I'd like to see the bill of sale where carmax actually bought that car from you.

And all in 14 hours too

**** I JUST FOUND OUT it is LEGIT!!! well dont know if it is acutally LEGIT but still this is wat the guy sellin the car says... the guy emailed me

NO BS!!

"I am glad to inform you that the car is in a perfect condition,has never
been involved in any accidents , has never been raced, It has a clear title
and I am the only owner, I have registrated in USA,now I am currently
located in Prague,Czech with the car, I moved here two months ago
when I got married. The reason why I am selling the car so low is that I need any extra
founds i can get for the moment because I am opening a new business
here, I
have just purchased a restaurant here in Prague and I need any extra founds
that I can get to open it.
I price them to be sold. I can't imagine what someone paid to have the mods
put on this car! Full Veilside body kit with rear fender flares and all,
Operational Nitrous System, Apexi Fuel Management, Cold Air Intake, Exhaust System,
18" Konig Wheels with new tires in front and plenty of tread in the rear,
Xenon Headlights, Sparco Race Seats with Harnesses, Playstation With DVD Player,
Sony Head Unit, Strut Brace, Custom Springs, etc...You have to see this one to believe it!
This car has never been in an accident and has a clean Carfax!

If you are interested in the car please advice your zipcode so I
can estimate shipping cost and I will let you know my terms and
conditions.
Please note that I have no time to waste or money and I think
neither do you,so I am asking seriousity.

Get back asap!!!"

damn !! i think i wanna do it!! aww man that is craZie!!

"I price them to be sold."

them? what, does he have an arsenal of these extreme cars ready for purchase?

interesting. but wait until he asks for a payment in US Currency and then never transfers the car or title. i wouldn't trust it. no way.

oh and...

We're sorry; this car is no longer listed for sale. This is either because the car has been sold, or because the seller removed it. But don't worry; our inventory is constantly being updated! You may search for a similar vehicle or begin a new search.

and i was thinkin just rite now 5500 wtf that is like CHUMP CHANGE! for a s2k

a low priced s2k like that would be like 30gs or even 20 would be insanely cheap and it would make some sense but for 5500 i cant even find a clean 94 integ for that price (i am kinda exaggerating but still)

G'luck d00d.

Usually when they talk about being in another country it's some sort of scam.

I hope it works out for ya.
