Still time left on the clock and there's a reserve price.

I wouldn't do business with a 0 feedback seller especially on a car deal.

Be wary of deals like this. Especially since the listed number is an 800 number, which makes me suspicious.

Lol...That's my hometown in Florida. I'm even going back that day...I'm missing the window by about 5 hours though. Sorry.

If you're seriously considering it, I can do a walk around for you, but then again...who am I?

These are always "buyer beware". If you want to get a car on eBay, inspect it in person (or have someone you trust do it).

This guy definitely looks suspicious, and seems to be some random dealer (and he isn't clear about that.)

If it's a dealer I would absolutely want to see lots of feedback.

However, there's lots of private sellers who may not have much feedback. Tougher call then IMO.

Hmmm.....I checked the Lexus of Sarasota website, and sure enough, that car is listed there. Same VIN, different pics.......

TSX link

They're asking $25,980 on the website, so there isn't going to be a deal, though. I'm sure their reserve is up there..........

Hmm...it's odd for a dealership to not use a better designed listing on ebay.

Regardless, with a given list price, I wouldn't expect to get much of a deal.

And I love how the guy said it's loaded with options.... Someone should call him and make him list the "options" that are included.
