It says buy it now for 5000 in the description, but there is no buy it now. There is only one small pic. In the description, there is no mention of the rims on the car. The guy is a new member with NO feedback.

There are way too many of those ads. As soon as you send them an email, you will get a reply like "moved to Germany and the car is here with me .... and banch of other bullshit"... scammers

This is a page you can get right from ebay motors search, but they hijacked the link. First time I've ever seen that. every link on the page, no matter what it says, goes to an email. It's a complete fraud. Good catch!

What's with the warranty?.. "4 years/50Kmiles warranty " that right there caught my attention...

Another thing... where's the option for paypal?.. All I see is
"Cashier's Check (certified from US or Canadian bank) or money order
Cash (in person)"

Also, the general description's not filled out and when I e-mailed the person, no response. Not cool.


I do not trust this person.

The ad seems to have been revoked. It was probably a crock.

The standard warranty now is 7 years/110 K Miles for most TLs.

After the rebuild/replaced tranny from the dealership the warranty for the replacement tranny is: 1 year/12K miles, 2 years/24k miles, 3 years/36k miles for most people out there.

I called up a service manager a while back for a tranny... for each year, it's another 12k miles... I called up First Acura over in Mass since I used to go there from time to time... The manager again to make sure.. he said that the 4 years/50K doesn't add up at all.
