$91k FOR A FORD GT ??

[Quickdraw]

No bargains out there, specially for these cars.


If it's too good to be true, it is a scam or accident mess...

It's gotta be a scam.... here's seven people who offered him over $128,000 just this week....

I'd fly down to Lakeland & EYEBALL the car. THAT COULD SAVE YOU A LOT OF HASTLE & $$$$$$ DOWN THE ROAD.

I agree with E.P. If anyone is close, I'd make an arrangement to see if, take it to a Ford dealer and have them check it out and run a backround on any Ford work completed (as well s Carfax, etc), then meet him at the DMV to do a transfer.

Most likely not real, BUT if it is, a bargain. Buy and re-sell it and make 50K. Worth sending the guy a message and say you want to go look a the car. You'll find out then if it is a real deal.

Any Florida guys out there? Chris?

i would contact Ronie Duke@ hard core racing in flint mi he was owner of that gt back in august 2007

 

[ROCMAN]

It's a scam, period. There is no car. He could wholesale it for more. This scam has been going on for years now.

Lets get a rope and have a hanging party....I'll bring the booze!! :cheers

Further evidence its a scam... this guy said he bought the car abput a year ago... the car was originally sold 2/15/2006, so this guy just about claims to be the original owner.

Guys, As I said very early on in this thread ... forget about calling, seeing, touching this FGT as THIS SCAM ARTIST DOES NOT HAVE THE CAR! This type of scam has been run on ebay for years. The so-called "escrow" account where you wire your money is simply this clown's bank account in some third world hell hole. Check out his broken English. The a__hole is probably in Kurdistan or Moskow.

Fred, we are equal opportunity abusers here- could also be Ethiopian and the "refund money" he will give you in return would be painted black:eek

'Couldn't agree more. That's why I said 'escrow be darned'.

(He's even going to give you a "trial period" with the car???:eek WOULD YOU? ...and, as was mentioned B4... and after he supposedly turned down more money?:eek There's an open lid on a septic tank somewhere judging from the oder.)

The part puzzling to me is his reply to "Pete S" in msg #16 where he wants to use escrow.com... this seems like a legit website... www.escrow.com how does the scammer get his money?

'Good question. But, you can bet there's a way! We're warned all the time about websites that APPEAR genny BUT ARN'T.

A ligit seller I would THINK would tell yuh WHERE the car actually IS (street address), who to contact stateside to arrange a "look see", etc.:shrug

 

[Pete S.]

For Vehicle amount Escrow Fee:
up to $7,500 $125
$7,500.01 to $15,000 $170
$15,000.01 to $30,000 $200
$30,000.01 to $50,000 $275
over $50,000 0.6%

Unless he is the sole proprietor of escrow.com, it's and easy $546 times how many suckers fall into the trap.

Buyer chooses Escrow.com Inspection Services and pays $125.00 non-refundable fee by credit card.

I might contact escrow about this. And of course, post the findings.

Don't follow a link to escrow.com that HE supplies. One bit of advice about a questionable link is to right-mouse-click on the link and check its properties - THAT'S where you will really be directed...

I have a simmilar story. I ride quads and back in the late 80's and early 90's Honda mad a 2 stroke dunebugy called a Pilot that are extremly fast and they are worth some money now adays. My dad bid on one and the next day he got 4 emails from people in the US and Europe who said they had one for sale for what he bid and they would next day UPS it to him. My dad knows about the maximum weight for UPS by shipping auto parts so he knew it was a scam. Im sure some one who wouldnt know about this would of jumped on the opertunity. Kinda sad in my opinon that people do this.:ack

This car (2006 #414) was at the rally last August.
It was sitting right next to the TT in the Saleen parking lot.
I assume the original owner is a member of this forum...

 

[RickM]

Also the posting on ebay (which I assume is legit) says the cars location is Flint, MI.
Where-as the racingjunk scam artist is saying Lakeland, FL.

Got an interesting call last week from a guy ( forgot his name) who saiz I have been on the GT Forum and I have seen you there ...would like some background on your car 1442.........I said..what kind of background? he said, well i'm about to buy the car,, wanted to know how it was when you sold it....and what mileage it had.....I asked him to hold on.....opened the door to my garage... yep..car was still there......I then proceeded to tell him he had the wrong car...and asked him how he even found out I had the car? He said something about motor vehicle...(which I think is an invasion of privacy) and said the car he was going to look at in Long Island NY was 1442. Now.. the question....is there a possibility that a 2006 FGT would have the same last 4 of a 2005?..unnerving to say the least.....
