    I guess he removed it because I emailed him and agreed to purchase it.... ;)


    This is the email I got back from the "seller" :


    Hello

    First of all I must inform you that I'm located in Budapest, Hungary. I recently moved here with my job and I had the intention to take the car with me in order to register it and keep it, but I discovered that it is very hard to register a US car here and the taxes are very high. Not to mention that here the gasoline is much expensive here. So, unfortunately, I had to leave the car in the US.
    The PRICE is $35,500.00. The car is in excellent condition. It has no scratches on and hasn't been involved in an accident. The motor runs very well. The car was always garaged. The car is still US registered and the title is clear. The car is in US at the shipping company and it is ready to be shipped.
    The SHIPPING will be made by DTD Transport. The delivery will take between 7 and 10 working days (with insurance and 30 days return policy). I WILL PAY FOR THE SHIPPING!
    If the car does not matches 100% the description, you will return it in maximum 30 days and I will pay for the return shipping fees.
    PAYMENT will be made through eBay so we can be both protected!
    If you agree with my above terms, I'm sure that we can close the deal as soon as possible. I have reserved the car for you until I will have your final answer.

    Thank you,
    Michael Lin



    I emailed him back telling him that was all fine by me. I requested the VIN # and told him I would pay in full via any method he wanted upon delivery of the vehicle to my location.

    Sorry seems like a total scam. be really wary of these kinds of people that email advising you they are out of the country and they'll pay for shipping and back if you don't like the car?? sounds too good to be true, and $35k for a 275 that's almost as good as a barn find.

    btw.. there was another lambo miura posted a day or soo on ebay.. ago just received the email from ebay safety harbor advising me to stay away and to be cautious.

    Only a friendly word of advise.

    This is total BS. Hungary.... Yeah I'm sure a 275 for $35K.... If you have ever been to Hungary, you will know that it is full of scams..... I was in Budapest for like a week a few years ago and we got scammed so many times.... Even when we left we were pulling up to the Austrian border and the Hungarian train conductor asked us for our train passes real fast and cancelled out all of our dates just to be a jerk and then hopped off the train.... I could go on and on the whole place is a scam with a very influential organized crime element....

    Everyone knows it's a scam. Terry was poking fun at it. I thought it was funny.

    So Terry, will you have to sell your Daytona on Ebay to buy this 275? I'll give you $30K for it!

    Of course its a scam.... im just messing with the idiot pulling it a bit.

    Here is his latest reply:


    The car is located at the DTD shipping company in New York. Michael


    I emailed him back again asking for instructions to have it delivered to my address so I could issue forth payment and asking again for the VIN.

    I didnt save the pics, but it was yellow. Anyone else get the pics so we can figure out whos car this moron is trying to "sell" ?

    I believe this was listed earlier on ebay by a Mass. Dealer. I think it's the car that Classiche made a motor for.

    08483 is a real 275 GTB s/n.

    In January 2007 it was for sale on Ebay. 8 bidders and a highbid of US$345,100 but still a "Reserve not met". It is indeed just certificated by Ferrari Classiche.
