Well I just called the "owner"... The story: It's a Euro car with 100K km that was purchased from a Federal Auction in Florida (It was a seized vehicle).... When asked if he had EPA/DOT...non-conclusive answer... When asked for VIN..."No, as there are nine states in which, if you have a VIN number, you can get a "lost title" replaced...Huh?? Where can I view the car? "Sir, can I put you on hold................Still holding....Click" Nuf said! | ||

David, save your emails..i emailed him first asked for VIN and asked about the high mileage...100000 on an F50 since 1996, it must have gone around the world and back....hahaha | ||

The F50 seller also has 10 other cars listed on eBay.... none have reserve prices. One of the cars is listed in -TWO- different auctions at the same time. Someone needs to shut this guy down. http://cgi6.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewSellersOtherItems&userid=lasvegas2003cars&include=0&since=-1&sort=3&rows=50 | ||

Gents, I have e-mailed the seller...and expressed my interest to fly in and view the car personally. I have requested the physical location and the VIN, as well. Naturally, I assume a response will be forth coming immediately, if not sooner. NOT! David | ||

Doc, I hate trying to find these forms. They are so deep hidden in their site so you really have to spend time trying to locate them. Thats hould be a one stop type of deal to report fraud on eBay yet it is made very hard to do so. | ||

If you really have a car for sale, always use pics of the actual car.. Never from a website or magazine. That clown can't possible think he will be taken seriously.... | ||
