Default Smells like a scam

So I enquired about a ridiculously priced aston martin DB9 goin for 55'000. I knew its too goo to eb true - but i was reminded of a add I once saw for a Dodge Viper going for less than 10g in paper - from a recently divorced wife - gettin rid of her husbands shit... anywy so I enquried as you do...

And I got this email back lol...

Hello again ,

I am writing you again because i didn't sell the car that i have it listed last week,i had some family problems and i didn't had the neccesary time for this deal so the car is still available.The car you were viewing is an 2005 ASTON MARTIN DB9.

I am the original owner,non-smoker, responsible driver.It is in virtually brand new condition, with no existing or previous damage to any of the engine,transmission, paint or bodywork,no accidents, clear title (no liens or loans). It was treated to a professional waxing and detailing periodically and was stored in a closed garage when not in use.

I am selling because I am in the middle of divorce and I have no other alternative. I must tell you that the problem faced until now with the selling of the car is that I've settled in GERMANY and the car is here with me. The price for the car is 55.000 AU Dollars including shipping costs to your location.I'm keen on selling the car through an eBay escrow account, which is to everyone benefit.

If you're not familiar with the neutral third party,it works like this. After the transaction is started,you are invited to deposit the amount in a neutral escrow account which eBay controls. After the amount is deposited, I am invited to send you the car for a 15 days inspection period during which you need to decide whether to accept the car or not. If you reject it, your deposit is refunded and I have to arrange shipping back for the car. If you choose to accept the car, you have to give consent so that the money is transferred to me.

This works for me because I see the money exists and is held by eBay, in a secured account.
It works for you too because the deposit is also insured by eBay.
If you are sure about the car and want to go ahead this way, I need to know your name and address to start the transaction.
You need to decide soon, at this price the car is not going to be on the market for long.

Thank you !


haha fuckers

Wonder if its in one of his dodgy escrow accounts. Smells fishy. But if its a legit escrow nothing to loose.

And the reason he wants to ship a rediculously underpriced car halfway across the world at his expense is?
