Angry Ebay scam - RB320
Just a friendly word of warning - the RB320 currently advertised on ebay for an unbelievable price is a scam.

It's not for sale at the price that the person who doesn't own it is trying to sell it for...

The owner is selling his car through a garage which is where they've "borrowed" the pictures from.

He also listed the car under a previous ID - After the owner of the car phoning the listing was pulled and he was banned...

I'm willing to bet he also doesn't own the Saab he's selling

It was around £37k for the first few hours when they listed it today - I'm guessing they're trying to drag in multiple deposits or something

HURRAH!

He's so not going to be able to sell that car via eBay.. Fancy doing a scam with a limited edition car and an army of owners searching eBay all day.

It's back again

eBay.co.uk: 2007 07 Reg SUBARU IMPREZA RB320 Limited Edition (item 160114916785 end time 05-Jun-07 16:02:56 BST)

Same seller different ID - I've already emailed ebay - my thoughts - if a few more of us do the same again then it will be pulled by tomorrow...

Anything to make their life harder is my motto

Trouble is there ARE actually fcuckwits that get scammed like this.

If someone is selling a car at a price that's obviously too low and you're that stupid to part with your money on a car you've never seen/driven, IMO, you deserve to be ripped off.

Follow a few simple rules and you CAN get a good motor on ebay, that's where I got mine.

Phone the Police. Ask them to do a sting operation on the fscker.

Better still, phone "The Sun" or similar and get them involved in it.
