pre-registered suckers only please. Available to the same suckers that buy a link for $10 to get an iPod for $20.00. Love the eBay sucker ad.

The golden rule : IF IT LOOKS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, IT PROBABLY IS.

every now and again there are ones like that that are genuine
did anyone else see the black 2000 beetle that went for around $6700 about 4 months ago
nothing wrong with it was registered with alloys, spoiler 78,000kms etc,no reserve sale just had some minor scratches no worse than any other shopping car
i was working and missed it

notice also they say its registered till 29/12/06......
ok then

BUGBOY - February 11th, 2007 at 08:14 PM

I think its the one they found the body in.
They had been parked in a shed for about 6weeks.
Has slight smell?

haha check this email i got from the seller

Hello and sorry for the delay,

The 2001 VOLKSWAGEN BEETLE is in perfect working condition. My experienced VW tech has fully checked out this car and gives it a special high rating has a CLEAR and CLEAN TITLE a great history and mechanically without any problems ever safety check and pre-delivery inspection along with a fresh servicing before I ship or deliver the vehicle. The problem is that in the meanwhile I had to move with my family in Greece where I got a new job as a construction engineer. I brought the car here with me with the intention of driving it but when I found out about the very high import duties and all the restrictions regarding registration and emissions tests here I have made up my mind and decided to sell the vehicle.
If you are interested in buying it the price is 7500 AUD.
The car will be shipped from Greece, on my expense and will be delivered directly to your door in 12-14 days. I will pay the shipping fees. The car will be insured at the shipping company for the transport.
The car is still AU registered so you will not have to pay any custom taxes.
The transaction will be made under eBay's protection for our own safety.
Your funds will be 100% insured by eBay and I will be sure that I will receive the payment.
You will have 15 days from the time you receive the car to inspect it and decide if you want to keep it or not.

If you are interested in buying it please provide me your full name and address so I can initiate the deal through eBay.

I'm a serious seller and a fair trader and I prefer to deal only with a serious buyer.
Let me know if you are still interested.

Regards,

Becaly

Looks like a good deal:puke


mscabrio - February 12th, 2007 at 05:47 PM

Yeah but didn't the ebay ad say that the cars location was in victoria ????? benalla I think ????? then the rego was clearly from NSW ..... wouldn't mind picking myself up a good new beetle for that price though, think that pigs might fly first !


koolkarmakombi - February 12th, 2007 at 05:57 PM

If I still offer $40...

funnily enough a jammy scot I work with has picked up a few killer deals from returning travellers.


fenrayer - February 12th, 2007 at 06:53 PM

if the deal goes wrong ebay only covers a percentage of the price
Not sure if thats how it still works but I got a raw deal and didn,t get any money back and the seller is still trading although my loss was not high enough to be considred serious
