My missis wants us to join..

I love the big AMG's...

I love these, i really really really want one!!!

I good with seeing whats a scam normally, this honestly seemed Genuine. I did some digging and got his address, email address, phone number... Maybe thats why he didn't send me the money, i should have been able to track him down!

Doesn't matter how many times i watch it, its still a mint film!

I remember this sort of post a year or so ago. Japspeed himself said something about other companies buy is bulk, so get them at a low price, but Japspeed cant match them for just 1. Dont see how but it made sence at the time!

Through Japspeed. Im sure them ones are always that price. I dont think they are Japspeed tho. Toyo Sports in Brum do them too.

That the normal price isn't it?

I dont know how he's bought so much already. When money goes from your paypal, you get an email. you might not see that, but the money is out of your bank within 3-4 days. He's been buying things since may 2011.

I know weve heard them all before, bit i just thought id share this one. I put my M3 track car on ebay in a bid to save money. Cant be bothered now so its staying! It was on for 10 days with a £4500 "buy it now" or best offer. The day it ended, i had somebody click "buy it now" at £4500. Happy days im thinking. The buyer had 100% feedback although quite new to ebay with only 10 feedbacks. I had no contact from him, so found the address and phone number on the page when i sent him the invoice. Soemwhere in reading i think. I called the number and was told the buyer was from Egypt and they were a shipping company. What happens is, he pays me through paypal, i send them the item, and they send it to him. Easy enough, but i cant post a car! They put me through to cargo department who say they can ship a car if i get it to the docks. Still no contact from the buyer, but the shipping company gave me his email address and phone number. I emailed him and he replied saying the shipping company couldn't sent a car, so could i get him a price for shipping. I then spent a few hours shopping round for the best price to ship the car, prices were from £735, to over £3000! He asked me to send him an invoice through paypal to include the shipping. I put £1300 in to cover the shipping and my costs to get it to the docks etc. After a few days on none payment, i called him (on the international number!) and he said he had a broker that was sorting the funds. At this point, im thinking is it a scam? But honestly, i didn't think it was. I wouldn't send anything without cleared funds etc, ive got all his details, he bought 10 things (15 now) on ebay, and all have left good feeback. 3-4 days later, ive still not got the money, and ive heard nothing fro him. I emailed and text him, still nothing. I went on holiday last week, came back and checked ebay and his feedback. Somebody that had left good feedback, added the note... ****WARNING SCAMMER FROM EGYPT PAYING WITH STOLEN PAYPAL ACCOUNTS.**** Ive canceled the transaction, and got my fee back from ebay. Lost all that time getting him quotes, and the calls/texts to Egypt, but it could have been a lot worse! Just thought id share incase anybody else got in that situation. Ive seen many scams, but didn't suspect this as one, just thought he was bad at communicating.

Just read this whole thread start to finish. This is the first tim eive seen this, really cannot believe it!

Pictures of the supra mate?

Bolt on bolt off isn't it? You need the whole thing from the Na, prop too im guessing.

Wasn't Voddy then??

I drove up the A34 to the M40 yesterday. Traffic was silly! Put 2 hours on my journey. Rain was bad, cars crashing every few miles! I was right behind a Polo that went into the back of a 206 on the M3!

Too much imho. Same that big Zed model is an NA.

New engine id say.

Lovely car. I had the 7 seat version last year, is the 5 seat Scenic any good?

Happy days. Bmw forever!

Haha, i dont have enough funds to offer you a deal at the minute mate. I could help you break it tho if you want? You could take the touring and pay me as parts sell?

Wicked pictures! I do love an AMG...

Up to you bud.

Can you afford boldys? Or would you need to break yours first?

That post looks like youve made your mind up, you want to keep with it. Fair play dude, i know i would have given up! Will be a great car in 6 months from now.

I think you should throw in the towel thinking about it. How many times have you been in this position, carried on spending on it, and still being in this position? Fix it now, and i bet you'll start another thread like this within a few months, but you'll be more £££££ down. I really, really want this car to be mint, and in your ownership, but it just seems to be one big thing after the other. Think of the money you'd have spare if you did throw in the towel. If you bought a cheaper car, maybe an NA just to get you back on the road, you could always TT in after your on your feet properly. If i can help in any way, let me know mate.
