book value on a impala ss is about 9-10k this one is for 3. so i asked whats wrong with it heres what i got
Hello,
The car it's still available. It's in perfect condition, no engine problems, no accidents/liens/loans. Exterior never been repainted, interior no rips/tears/stains, never smoked inside. We have all the car's manuals, 2 spare of keys, clean title, documents. This car was our son's car, he loved it very much, but he didn't enjoy it very much as he died in a bike accident 9 months ago and now...I don't need it anymore. It brings very bad memories to us and I want to get rid of it....The last price is $3,000.00 with fees included. Me and my husband travel a lot with our business and we want to make this deal through eBay's Vehicle Purchase Protection Program. I just need your full name, full shipping address, along with your home/cell # so I can open a case (with no further obligation or fees). eBay will contact you with all the Transaction/shipping details you will need.
...............
so now im still confused
..............
(now the car was also listed in philly)
i live in maryland so if its ok i would just like to pick it up, to save some money on shipping its only 70 miles away
...............
If we decide to proceed with this transaction, I will have to contact eBay eXpress and provide them all the necessary information, so they can start the process right away.
You will receive a notification (Invoice) from eBay Motors shortly after that, with all the instructions to follow and the invoice as well.
The car is already prepared for the shipping and is ready to go. I have a contract with eBay Motors so this deal must go through them.
P.S. The car is located in Tampa, FL.
Here is how it will work:
1.First of all I will need the following details from you:
- Full Name
- Full Shipping Address
- Phone number
2. After I will receive the details from you, I will forward them to eBay Motors.
3. After they will process your info, they will send you the invoice and the details on how to make the refundable payment.
4. eBay Motors will contact me and I will ship the car to you. After you receive the car you will have 5 days to test, verify and do whatever you need to the car. If you will buy, then eBay Motors will release the money to me.
5. If you will decide that you don't want to buy the car, eBay Motors will refund you the money and I will have the shipping company come pick up my car. If you wish to make the transaction, please send me the necessary info so that we can proceed. I look forward to hear from you.
Thank you!

If you want to post the car on eBay first with a buy it now. Then we might be ok
.....................
still no response
now this seams fishy but it not like hes asking for any real personal info like bank or card numbers. but is to come????
what do you think? me for one probably going to steer clear of this one
-
My friend was looking at a jeep wrangler and it was the same type of post. Pretty much same responses. I would definitely stay away from this one.
-
its a scam / fraud. stay away from it man. ive seen this situation time and time again. ive looked into many vehicles via ebay and craiglist.and ive got this exact same story 3 times. and ive also got the one saying they just moved,across the usa, telling me to send them the money,preferably cash or money order, and when it clears he will send me paperwork to fill out then he will send me the keys and title. HAHAHAH OK ILL GET RIGHT ON THAT . as i sit back and laugh and get ticked off at these scroungy scammers,and think who would ever fall for this, i then hear about somebody that walked into the trap.
-
Scam.
-
ah, don't talk negatively about someone who just lost their son. ;D
-
He's probably the prince of Africa, who has been wrongly imprisoned, and he's just trying to move his money to a safe place outside the country, in the trunk of an Impala. I'm sure he means you no harm, but I'd still pass on that deal. ;)
-
:D haha
-
I have bought a few cars and trucks off ebay and craigslist and every time I have met the seller and looked the car over before any money was exchanged. If he wont meet you then its a scam!
-
yeah he stopped talking to me now lol

i was telling my dad about this impala and the con. he just laughed and pulled out a check for 4k the check was real had a watermark and everything it could to be real so he called the bank they said let me guess its for about 4k and says you just have to pay them for taxes. they confirmed it was a real check just the account was closed on it

Ebay and Paypal don't fully protect you.
A couple of years ago i bought an electrical appliance for 500 dollars in ebay, turned out that the seller never shipped and just disappeared with the money so i called Paypal that is supposed to protect the purchase, well they only refund me 200 dollars and "opened up a case" for the seller in which they would investigate his financial status and once they found some money that they could withdraw from his bank account they would give me a refund. Well its been 4 years and nothing, I'm out 300 dollars. :P
-
ouch i thought they did like up to 100k or something. man here i thought they were safe

I got some ocean front property in A-ri-zon-a, from my front porch you can see the sea...Now if you'll buy that I'll throw the Golden Gate in free.
