I've read the ad 3 times and can't figure out why the Buy It Now is only $9000...somebody please buy this before I buy it as a project car!

There is no way it is going to go for that low. It still has 6+ days left on the auction. You will get an awesome deal on it thought. I figure it will go for about 26-28K

 

There is no "buy it now" price. All ebay car auctions use "shills" The car will not be sold for less than the seller really wasnt for it. it looks like it is located at a really nice trailer park (is there such a thing as a nice trailer park)?

Well something doesn't look right. I think the seller screwed up.

Current bid: US $9,100.00 (Reserve met)

BUY IT NOW PRICE IS $9,000.

Why would anyone bid more than the Buy It Now price?

 

It looks like they started over.

Current bid: US $3,150.00 (Reserve not met)

 

Has the car been in an accident or has a "salvage title"?

The only thing that makes sense is that the seller is in a financial bind...maybe paid cash for that car, and just needs to move the car...but still $9,100.00 doesn' t sound right

SPARE PARTS! - Does it have NAV? I'll take the nav PLEASE! LOL

BoBs =)

 

Its a hoax.. You click on the buy it now, and its an email to someone with an account called carsforless@aol.com

Sounds fishy.. Must be a car salesman trying something new. Why would you not take the car to a dealership and sell it?

Im sure theyll give them more than 9k!

 

I sent them an email just to ask if the price is real.

I agree something sounds amiss. I am still waiting for a response to the Buy It Now e-mail I sent to the seller.

 

if this is true... someone get me one, ill pay you back in a week! w00T!!

It's just got a ridiculously low reserve. With over 6 days left the price will undoubtedly be at or near market value by the end of the auction. Check it again an hour before it ends (try about 5PM EDT on June 17th).

 

My guess is it's a bait-and-switch. You click it, he finds out you want a G35 and tells you sorry, someone beat you to it but he has another one for the low, low price of $29,000 (the $9000 one being a "special" situation).

Alternatively, $9,000 is the price to lease it for 18 months or something.

I would never buy or sell a modern car that's still in production on ebay. This $9,000 jerk probably just ground all the other G35 auctions to a halt. Ebay bidders always just switch to the newest cheapest auction once you start approaching a fair price, and the new ones are almost always way below their reserve price to encourage bidding. There seems to be much more reasonable and straightforward bidding when the car is rare and no longer made, though.

I'm betting the 9,000$ BIN really means 9000$ down + payments. I've seen a lot of this on Ebay, and it has caused some problems because of "oh no, that's XXX$ down, not total". I've seen that on autotrader too many times as well... been looking for a cheapie car to tool around in (I *HATE* Mall Minivan Door Dingers!) and found some nice cars there that seemed too low only to find out it was too low. 2000$ down + payments in the 2000$ sections. Grrr!
