Now that's poetic justice, a scam car is won by a scam bidder! The guy has purchased one thing ( a phone) in 12 months, $10,000 bucks says this is some nigerian who'll send a certified check for 90k if you'll refund the difference. How does anyone take ebay seriously anymore?

There is no was that the buyer is associates with the seller because teh buyer ended the auction with a "buy it now" bid of $66K that resulted in seller fees in excess of $1,000.

Those seats don't even match the interior. They look funky...

I thought eBay motor listings are flat fees.

It is not a turbo. Plus I've had a ton of nonpaying bidders on Ebay.

The ahole revised the description after the bidding ended to '2002 911'.
It was '04 on the TT cab, no?
