Did you also read the sellers description "Shipping is Included"
That makes the cost of the car itself 500-2000 cheaper as a whole.

Also, notice that the MAIN part of the sellers desciption is a graphic, not text.
Why would they go through the trouble of typing it, saving it as a graphic and then uploading it to Ebay?

Maybe because they use that same "sale" a lot.
Lol, I never read that part!

so who's making the bid to find out?

Anyway, for me, it was a bit of a double whammy, I had to sell my S2K in NY at a low price (relative to the prices back then), and then had to lift an offer at almost the high because S2000s are rare in Hong Kong. That's why I'm a bit bitter about car prices hahahahhaha
Just move back to NA and buy another one!

Or maybe this one!

It has all the scam ingredients:
- Generic options copied off some Honda brochure.
- Little or no information specific to the car.
- Bad English.
- Price way below market.
- Description doesn't match the item.
- And finally, "shipping included" and "I have recently moved". Sounds like it's leading to the usual scam where the seller is in the UK or something but the car is in a storage in the US. You can't go see the car but he'll be happy to ship it to you once you pay him. Sure.
And to that list add this:

I can't believe I missed it the first time. That's the clincher right there. Scammers do that so Ebay won't pick up typical scam keywords mentioned above. Stay away from this one.

In the heading it says "current bid, $12000 -- reserve not met" Then, in the description it says " I will sell this car for $12000." Which is correct and which is a lie?
