The seller's feedback says it all. Zero.

So what's the gimmick? Is it stolen or a salvage title? Even a salvage title would fetch more than $24k. Having to Email seller first prior to bidding looks a little weird.

Ken...there is no car for sale. It shows clear title, not salvage.

It's just that you can wire him the 24k if you want, you will never see the car. That's the scam.

Its a complete scam, the place that sold the car on ebay (whose pics and description he simply ripped off) shows they sold the car to someone in Canada:

Interesting that he claims it is an 05 with 14,000 miles, but no warranty.

The seller doesn't have any negative feedback, so I trust him.

I reported it as fraud - we'll see if it goes the distance!
There are already 5 cancelled bids on the car.
