It's ridiculous anyone would sell a car that is worth 50-60K for 18K. Even if the guy is Bill Gate. If something is too good to be true, it generally is. I wouldn't take the bait unless I can stop to see the car and pick it up in person, pay in person. There is also a problem that he said not to call. Kind of strange that he provide a phone number but would not take any call.

Definitely don't send a deposit before you (or someone else) sees the car in person.

It's possible this person has hacked the account, hence the request to email a specific address (as opposed to merely using the "Ask seller a question" link).

The link worked just fine. The item has been removed from eBay though.

So I sent an email to the guy saying I want to see the car and here is his reply:

Thank you for contacting me regarding your willingness to purchase my 2004 Acura NSX.
First of all I want to tell you that the price includes all the shipping costs and insurance so you will not have to pay any extra charges. The car has a Clear Title which will come along with it.
The car is in a perfect condition (no mecanical or optical problems, no scratches or dents, no engine or gearbox problems). It will be delivered from Germany via Lufthansa AirCargo insured and it will take 4-5 days tops until you will have it at your address. The car is an US model with US specs and it will comes with all the documents you need to transfer it into your name.

I am willing to let it go for $18000 with $3000 downpayment and the reminder after you will recive the car.

I request the payment to be done through eBay.
Only after you will receive the car I will recive the money.
So in this deal eBay will be the third party .Please note that eBay will hold your money until you will confirm to them that you received the car and you accept to keep it and transfer the title into your name. This is for an secure and good deal.

If you agree with these terms, please email me your full name and address and ebay ID and I will be more than glad to start the transaction with you trough eBay .


Warmest Regards


Again the same story about the car is outside of usa and bla bla bla.... crap.
