Also, "positive" ratings can be done by 8 guys posting 5 months ago, both your uncles posting a year ago, the 10 guys that post from home, then post from work, etc, etc, plus they can say the vehicle was sold 3.5 minutes ago when you posted your "buy it now" figure ... something just ain't right.

Up here in the land of long-faced liberals, I'm thinking about dumping my impulsively purchased 02 Jetta:

Just another BS ebay poster .. I must be slow, whats the point of going through all of that ...?
Terry
Looking at his feedback, there's no way it's scammed though - too many huge feedback posters over a steady, long period of time. That, and you can only leave feedback after a closed auction... however, he (she?) has only sold 5 items out of 283 transactions, so all that great feedback is from buying stuff.
also, the one i checked out was in "US", with not even the state given... whatever is going on, it's way hinky.
-m
Terry says that car is worth $30k. Buy it now is $13K.
If I own a car that is worth $30k and I want to sell it for $13k. Mmmm ... Doesn't that make you suspicious ...
Is it hot??
Does it have blood stains on the hood?
I wonder if somehow this is an ebay account that's been hijacked or something of that nature (identity theft?)...
Or maybe it's one of those 'urban legend' divorce sales, you know the one where the wealthy, disgruntled wife sells her philandering husband's Porsche for $100!
I think these IDs have been hijacked, or some con artist has been very patient.. There are plenty of legitimate deals on Ebay, but this can't be one of them... and, I'm not shopping... I just bought mine in December... Now, all I can afford to do is talk about it.

Hello,
My name is Toledo Mulder and i am glad about your interest in hearing details about my BMW.First of all i wanna tell you some details regarding to the car and the way we can complete a transaction.
Since november 2002 i am located in Italy where i tried to develop a business down here in Milano but unfortunately the things didn't work the way i expected and now i really need cash because i am at one step to lose my restaurant from here, so i decided to sell the car. Because i wanna deal as soon as possible i am ready to cover the shipping costs and insurance. You will not have to pay additional taxes, just only the price for it.
All i need from you is to make a $2000 deposit up front through Western Union ( i have an Western Union agent location next to me here in Italy). After I see that the money are available for pick up I'll proceed with shipping to your location. If you will like it (which I am sure you will ) then you will keep it and you will send me the rest of the amount
after.
I asked you money up front for shipping and insurance.
You will have 7 days ( one week ) inspection.After inspection you have
to send me the rest of money .
Let me know if we have a deal.
Looking forward to hear from you soon.
Best Regards.
Duncan
Well, for starters the handshaker ain't going to help ya, it's a GLSt 4dr, we have the Moron sound, bun warmers, slider, all the right stuff, low miles and the color is ho-hum ... trade side in and around the high $11's, low low $12's ...
Hey, if your looking for a real nice vehicle, I have this 7,000 mile 03 Acura TL "S" type with the nav and it's in white with the tan guts for $15,000 ... nice car, like new, not actually mine though, I'm just doing the paper work for this nice old guy thats kinda stuck in Peru (long story) but anyway, after his divorce and his last operation and the wheel fell off of his wheelchair he's gotta get rid of it .. now, if you send me $2,500 ......................
Terry ;-)
Clean, cold air, deep sneakers, no oh oh it's Maaco, just a nice Volvo with 80k .. if so, then the dealer might have the high $7's, low $8's in it, I would think in and around the $9,9ish figure should make both happy ...

In seattle,
Super low miles, it's an LS, V6, color is eh', dealer probably had close to the $7's in it, so you did good, hard to find clean low milers .... enjoy.!
Terry.
Stop off at Bedliners R' US, Parts and Darts to Go, or even a good salvage yard and pick up an average bedliner and some cans of white/black dull spray paint, drop it in after the detail ... If we have no rust running around, runs strong, looks 99ish .. ya know the deal, great ad and location, fantastic detail .. then down Retail Rd, $2,900 *asking* and with a big tear and a few kleenex's wave goodbye at the first $2,0/$2,5 ....
let me know how it goes ...
Terry.
Might I bother you with another query? I currently drive a '97 Outback Ltd. Wagon with about 93K on the odometer... black w/ 5-spoke alloy wheels (as opposed to the standard Outback wheels), heated leather seats, single CD player addded (though no upgraded speakers), aftermarket alarm system.
Aesthetically: In good condition with the exception of a scratch along the driver's side front fender (keyed in a parking lot), and a crack in the plastic bumper cover in front of the pass side front wheel well (close to the bottom, and not very noticeable). Interior is in great shape (and I don't smoke).
Mechanically: Dealer tells me at least one of my cam seals is leaking, which I now know is very common with these engines. Side story - I'm pissed that they didn't recommend replacing the seals when I had the timing belt and water pump done about 20K ago, since I'm sure they do these ALL THE TIME. The job is all labor, and lots of it... includes removing the timing belt anyway (which, they also tell me, might have to be replaced AGAIN while they're in there if it's been leaked on!). Total of about $440, including $80 for another belt, if necessary. >:( But, that aside... maintenance has been done regularly, all by said dealer. Pads on all 4 wheels are relatively new, and I just (end of Dec) put on a new set of Michelin Harmony tires.
All of that said, wondering what you think I might get for a trade, or if I'd be better off trying to sell it myself. Keep in mind this is Subaru Country. And, regardless, would it pay for me to get any of those things fixed before attempting to do either? Body work is expensive, as is the seal job...
Thanks again for your help... it's great that you've provided (and continue to provide) such valuable insight to so many people!

In Wisconsin, 2001 Sebring Limited Convertible, gold with tan leather and 19,600 miles. Casette, CD changer and about every option. The car looks like showroom new.
BUT...but...but - it is a Daimler Chrysler buy back. That means it is a car repurchased by the manufacturer because of Wisconsin state lemon law. It is stamped 'Manufacturer buyback' on the title. The dealer says it was an air conditioning problem.
The car comes with a 12 month unlimited mile warranty from Chrysler. Is it the wrong car at any price? Dealer is asing $15,500 which is full retail and way too high but are very anxious to deal. What is the right price?
Thanks to all for your help.
Scott.
Given that, if it were me and I really wanted it, I probably wouldn't pay more than 50% of normal retail, even though I probably wouldn't know about the AC anyway, since I would never use it in a convert.

I am wondering if I should leave the Sebring lemon up in the tree. I look forward to more advice as to what what price makes picking it worthwhile.
