It's been sold to someone who has only bought about $100 worth of stuff on ebay. Can you say "deal will fall through?" |

The person who is selling the F40 has sunglasses next to his name. This probably means that he is selling a non-existent F40..If it is to good to be true..it probably is.. |

Got a big kick out of the terms of payment "cash only - non negotiable" and "I work for a M-Benz dealership" -- never heard of an F40 being traded in on a Benz before. |

In deciphering the VIN, the first digit "2" means that it is a Canadian-made car. The second digit "B" would be either Dodge or BMW (most likely Dodge in this case as I believe they have plants in Canada. The tenth digit indicates the year - "V" means 1997. So who knows what the heck this car is. Some kind of kit or home-made jumble if the VIN is to be believed. |

This also came up over on another site. Apparently, this car has the same VIN as five or six other cars up for auction! It's definately a scam. |

Yeah if I were selling an F 40 even for 100K I'd come up with some sort of picture |

Only 1 bid too. Probably people find out something bad when they contact the guy. Dealers would put in a bid if it were for real. |

and the VIN is definitely off. Should have only 5 digits after the letters...and the first few letters are also not Ferrari codes.
Must be a replicar, or a fraud. |

Anyone in Dallas got any info on this? Say's its got 325 miles with a $100k start bid and no reserve. As someone mentioned in this thread last night (before the restore killed it) the vin doesn't look correct.
