Cruising Ebay find a guy giving away a 2003 ZO6
Wow (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2464948210&category=6168)
So I contact him\her to be able to bid and heres the reply I got
Hello,
First you have to know the car is available on eBay,but the bidding/buying is restricted.The reason is that I had too many problems with bidders in the past and since then I am carefully with my auctions. I think that they always like to bid but not all the time like to buy,they just play games.The auction is a buy it now one so,only one person can buy it but for that I will need a proof of his seriousity and that he is available to pay anytime.For that, you need just to be agree with my condition stated below and the car will be yours.
The buy it now price includes shipping and insurance fees.
1. SHIPMENT :
I am currently located in Italy and the car will be shipped from here with by sea with the boat to your nearest port so please tell me what is your nearest port but due to the overwhelming numbers of offers I have recieved I will ask a 999$ deposit to seal the deal.
2. PAYMENT :
I'm a serious seller with experience in this field. I'm a fair trader with a good feedback on eBay which is the proof that l have closed a lot of successful deals.
You will arrange payment through wired transfer (www.westernunion.com).
All you have to do is go to www.westernunion.com and find an local agent near you were you have to go and send the funds.
3. INSURANCE
The car will be insured at the delivery service and insured for the transport.
4. RETURN POLICY
As soon as the car arrives, you will test the car and if it does not matches 100% to your expectations, you will return it in max. 7 days since the arrival date. In this case I will send you the full amount back and you will send me the car in the original crate and you don't have to pay the return shipping and insurance.
If this will be ok with you just email back with your info and tell me what info you need more about the car and the transaction and you will have it.
Sincerely hope to do the transaction.
5. In the 7 days inspection perioud you decide to buy the car send the remainig balance and i will send the car's papers.
Did you see the buy it now price $12000:eek: What a tool:yuk: Its worth 3-4 times that

Some people still don't realize that's a scam. I worked an investigation a couple of years ago that put one of those scumbag companies out of business.
"Dude (puff puff hack hack spit), my boss screwed up and sent an extra pair of speakers to the install. They normally cost $9,999.00 each but I'll sell them to you for (puff puff hack hack spit) $500. Lifetime guarantee (puff puff), dude don't you read high fidelity?
Pigeon sez-----I'll give you $20----
(puff puff) Dude, you scored, Sold!
------------------------------------------------------------
And another couple of things...
The acrylic boxes with mints asking for a 25 cent donation that can be found next to cash registers...found thousands of those in the garage of the other half of the Zbest carpet cleaning scamsters house.
And don't let any of those fockers selling magazines in your house.
:rolleyes: :mad: :rolleyes:
