I have never bought anything off of ebay so have no idea how that all works but i think the guy is full of shit and figured you guys would know more so let me know what you think...thanks ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)
Hello,
I`m Sgt. Mark J Loranty. You have to know that the 2003 Honda Accord EX 4 Cyl Automatic I am selling is 100% working and great looking, no flaws or dents, no scratches or any kind of damage. The title is clear. It has 37,391 miles. The VIN# is 1HGCM56603A136574. This vehicle engine runs very, very smooth. No electrical problems on this beauty. This detailed vehicle makes the exterior looks like it just came off the assembly line.
Options
CD player Leather seats Sunroof
Driver airbag Passenger airbag Side airbags
Anti-lock brakes Air conditioning Cruise control
Power locks Power seats Power windows
Here are the pics of the car :

(if the above link does not work copy and paste it into a new web browser window)
As I know that my current situation is pretty special I want the deal closed only through eBay's Buyer Protection Program in order for you to be 100% protected. You will make the payment to eBay and they will hold the money until you receive the car. ONLY AFTER you receive the car and inspect it (for 10 days) eBay will release the payment to me; in this way we are both protected. Anyway i am sure that if you won`t be satisfied with the car i will surely find another buyer in your area and there will be no need for you to ship the car back.
I am located in Zagreb,Croatia and I was sent here to improve the military relationships between our country and Croatia. One month ago, my wife moved here with me and brought the car with her, but now we have to sell it back in the United States because In order to be able to register this car here, I would have to pay very high import/custom taxes. My final price on it is $ 2980. If you will take it for this price, I am willing to handle the shipping. It will be shipped from here by plane with US Air Military Cargo so it will not cost me anything. You will get it to the nearest airport in your area and then it will be trucked forward to your place. You will receive the car in about 4 days. Please get back to me asap if you decide to buy, and include in your e-mail your full name and address where you want it shipped so I can start the deal with eBay. You will receive all the transaction payment and shipping details from them.
Thank you, and have a nice day,
Sgt. Mark J Loranty

Just in case you missed it........ THIS IS A SCAM, DON'T SEND THAT FUCKER ANYTHING!
It sucks you have to give it back after selling the GT to save it.

Hell just look at that ad. A 2003 accord with 37k for 2900 shipped? Shipping across the country is going to be at least $1000 can you imagine what it would be like from Croatia? Hell tell him you want Mikro Crocrops autograph too!!
If you want a cheap honda you should have asked me I have one for sale.

If you buy a used car make sure its from someone you can meet in person and see the car in person. If I can't see the car in person and drive it then I won't bother.

All I have to say is SCAM, that guy could get 7-8K easy for that car.
Look if the price is too good to be true, its a SCAM.
If the guy is out of the country, ITS a scam,
I would report that to ebay!

one more thing,
If you really want to make sure, shit for that price I would fly were ever the car is and drive it back. Email the guy back and say you want to see the car in person and you will bring Cash and see what he says?
