Has anybody else noticed how the sellers ad on Ebay is written in legible english, using correct grammar and syntax while the letter from the seller seems to be written in Pigeon Engrish?

The important thing to remember with Ebay, is that if something seems too good to be true, then it probably is!

SCAM!!!

besides, what kind of retard ships a car to another country before checking if they can acually drive it.

You would at least think that scammers would try and make something more believable. : <<----to scammers

The feedback score (0) and the membership join date (24/10/2006) by themselves should tell ya that this is a dodgey Ebay scam setup! The half educated Ebay scammers would at least buy 10 or more very cheap, small items, thus earning the 1st star rating, in order to give an impression of being legit...

Oh, and another thing... being a 4 door, it has to be a V6 STi... wasn't released here until Aug 1999, yet the listing shows build date March & 1st rego in July.

I've just received a message back from the seller:

Thank you for your interes regarding my 1999 Subaru Impreza WRX STI.I am a retire bussines woman who decided to move with his familly in Helsinki,Finland to spend my next years of life in peace and joy.I have allways loved cars of all kind but i was verry disapointed when i have seen that i can't register any of my cars here in Helsinki,Finland (THE CAR IS IN Helsinki,Finland WITH ME) so i decided to sell them all.I allready sold 3 cars and this one is the last.The reason that i can't register it is that the car is a AU vehicle and it doesn"t comply with the EU emission standards.So that is why I prefer to sell it at this low price back in AU because here i can't get any money for it and i can't drive it so is unuseful.For me,money aren't so important so i can afford to sell it at this price and be glad that i have made someone happy.The car is in perfect condition,you will not be dissappointed, i guarantee you this.The total price including shipping and any other fees is 7500 AUD.I must tell you that i allready have a lot of offers so the deal will be a fast one.Because this is a large transaction and due to the overseas dealing I want to do it with a third party service that holds the funds until the item is delivered,inspected and accepted .We will complete the deal only through Ebay using their Business Protection Program.If you want to buy it please email me your full name and address for shipping so I can initiate the transaction through Ebay.After that they will contact you with all necesary information about this transaction(terms,buyer protection,payment instructions,invoice,etc.)


I'm going to be playing with this person, just for a laugh

Now I will wait for the confirmation from Ebay that you have
made the payment, and i will start the delivery of the car.
I will tell you exactely when to be home to receive it once i start
the shipping.
It will be inssured at the shipping company for the transport. All the
documents, including owner's manual, clear title and bill of sale
will be provided along with the car.

Thank you and look forward to doing business with you.

I'm thinking, once we get the "fake" eBay or payment link, I'll get someone to forge one in return with a payment made....and see what they do from there
