Belive me... i wouldnt be falling for this.. i just wanted to make others aware of these kinds of things going on even on AT... pretty weak if you ask me. I have been scammed (attempted actually) and i need at least driving distance between me andhim so as i told him... i can hunt and kill him! Im still looking.. Got i hate looking.. i just want to buy already and play with it.

Ill be going to the Los Angeles auction this weekend.. so we will see what comes out of that.

Look for another car, this may sound good but like you said, you wouldnt buy the car unless you saw it in person. plus, 2000$ to ship it here just so you can look at it plus tha cost of the car, sounds pretty shady.

yeah ask the flamer for the VIN... if he actually has one to give -- it will be bogus.

If you look closely in the pictures, the plates on the other cars don't look euro, and it looks like the Mercedes in the background of pic #1 is left hand drive. It looks like the pics are taken off some used car lot, not a private seller.

SCAM!

It is definately a scam. I had this exact same conversation by e-mail with a guy about an M3. You can search on Ebay Motors site and find information about this scam. They will offer to use a third party "trust" or something like that. These people have been known to get as much as 15-20k out of suckers. Walk away. Good Luck in your search for a Audi though.
