Rip off? Nope. If you can't pay, you can't play. Simple...

yea i have the 2.4, and i must say, for a van its got alot of grunt ! 
before the '07 model, i drove a '86 (i think) mitsu express, and dear god it was like driving a dead elephant, hard to steer, hard to clutch, no
acceleration and took an age to start.
the only problem i have with my '07 is because the clutch is power assisted, i cant feel whats happening through the pedal, and feel im riding the
clutch more than if it was a mechanical linkage.

Not realy sure how it works but as I understand it the consecutive bids are because another bidder placed a bid which was not up to the maximum of the
first bidder. ie bid is up to $100, bidder 1, and will increase in $2 incraments, next bidder (2) bids to a maximum of $300 so the bid automaticaly
progresses to $102 then a third bidder, bidder 3, comes on the scene and bids to a maximum of $250, still under the max of bidder 2 so bid
automaticaly progresses to $252 that showes up as bidder 2 outbiding himself and so it goes on. Reasonably sure this is how it works but if someone
out there in ciber land knows differently then I would be happy to learn more

Wow, now I know I'm guilty of buying cars that some work to be done .... but i've never even considered paying anything like that.
Good luck to the purchaser - I think that you will probably need it by the look of some of those pics...
