[AZKC]

This car is about 90 miles from me and its worth quite a bit more than this seller is willing to take and he's offering Free Shipping :eek: I'm thinking scam :(
Ebay Mazda (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4588891019&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1)

The town he says he's in is a miltary base south of here, the ID he is using or is, has bought some Army stuff but hasn't sold much stuff.

His feedback looks OK, but I think its a typo. $23,000. Call him up and do a face to face deal. Its close enough.

23 G's is way to much, cars worth 5-6 thousand.

[olbiezer]

[AZKC]

Thats a good point :smile:

I did not look at the year, but some e-bayers are on crack so who knows? Anyway, I would never buy a big ticket item if it was not face to face or thru a real car dealer on e-bay. Tell him you will drive on down and be sure to run the carfax and look at all the vin locations on the car that you can find.

Stolen vehicle. Look at the location.

I heard that all vehicles in Southern Arizona have been stollen... :2purples: :D

I would guess VIN switch.

Found this, kind of scary how easy it appears to be:

I would guess VIN switch.
If that is the case, then the Carfax mileage would not likely match that VIN. I would google and see if I could find out where the hidden VINs are on that car. Maybe a LEO on here could PM the locations to you?
Call your insurance agent for a quote and give them the VIN and see what they come up with.

Worked for Mazda many years, all the removable body parts have VIN stickers. Thats how you tell if they've been hacked on.

Shows it has been removed by Ebay now. :idea:

[BoatPI]

It has been removed by E Bay. There is your answer!

[AZKC]

Knew this guy was a dirtbag :idea: , at least I never replied back to him :D I shop for Millenia's all the time and this was a to good to be true deal. Got to be careful out there kids.

I guess it could have started out "Hi I am from Nigeria".. :supp:

[BoatPI]

At best it was a putogether from a salvage roller. be carefull as salvage titles can be washed without much effort. frankly it is best if you have an experienced auto theft detective examines such a vehicle. So many scams and not flooded cars from Texas, and New Orelans

[AZKC]

The plot thickens :notam: Recieved this a bit ago :devil:
"I am ebay ID huzz69. I was at Fort Huachuca for one year in 2004 which is this auction's location. I have received an email from ebay stating change of email address to huzz699 is completed, which I did not change. This is not my auction and I can not answer any qiestions about this auction. Beware of identity theft!"
