Could be a pissed off spouse in a nasty divorce!

There are a few things about that ad that make me suspicious...
1. No location other than U.S.
2. Shady "Do not contact me through EBay because I won't be able to access this account"...

Otherwise I would have bought it NOW myself, even if to sell it.

If you want the car I suggest contacting EBay to confirm it's not a scam. If they say it's a good ad from a reputable seller....BUY IT!

Yeah it has to be a scam I mean why sell it THAT low. I mean you could find 2G TLs going for more then that. Also notice that for location it just says USA. I doubt they would let you test drive it if you asked.

Somebody must have bought all the cars he was offering because they are gone. Darn, missed it by that much.
