Ebay have removed the item - no longer available for sale

Would be interesting to find out how much is still owing to the finance company tho... because you might still only have to pay $20k or something cheap.

The item has been removed from sale. Hmmmm....

I wonder why??

oh well i guess it really was to good to be true... I wonder why it was removed?

That could be a picture of anyone's XR8 - just because whoever is advertising it shows the number plate doesnt mean its theirs... hence knowing how much money was left owing on it means absolutely nothing.

When I asked seller a question - I got a reply from ebay :

A few scams like this pop up every now and then as it has been suggested - another one was a 215HP supercharged Seadoo for $5K (market value ~$22K).

very interesting...
