What am I missing here? I have been on ebay for 10 years, but have not purchased a car on ebay. I am quite well aware of the scams and fraudulent car auctions, and have told my dad that's what I think this is - a scam. The price is too low, the deal is too good, the auction was terminated, and that's not how ebay works. Yet he remains convinced the seller and car are legit. Is it possible he's right?

Thanks for your comments,

Mark,

I agree with you. The deal just looked "Too good to be true". Another thing that I noticed about the actual ad was that NO MATTER WHERE I clicked on the ad, a pre-addressed email form popped up, addressed to the seller. I've never seen this behavior in an Ebay ad, and it even led me to speculating that it might be counterfeit.

All that being said, if the selling price was genuine and the car really as stated, I feel like the very dickens for missing it!

Good luck to your father!
