Pretty interesting, I wonder what it'll be haha.

[moe007]

yea i wonder what it will be too :goflames:

[Vietsta]

i thought it was the car in the picture haha

[anarchy]

Haha no but I'm assuming that's what they want people to think.

I hope its a black 1984 civic.

[90s_tuner]

64 in a 35, that's not even that bad.

[01RedDX]

.

[trikypenguin]

i wonder if it will say what it was once auction is over

[ninspeed]

mph

[boopydogg]

dam i wanna bid just to see what it is:confused:

[Rocky]

64 in a 35, that's not even that bad.
+

mph
=102km/h in a 50km/h zone, likely a residential one.

So, uh, unless going 2x the speed limit in an area that's obviously at least semi-residential is "not even that bad"... is your name dany heatley by chance =P

[gorilla*goggles]

lmao...i wanna know what it is soo bad
thatd be awesome if some1 drives away with like a brand new
s2000 or sumthin:rofl:
if my mom did that id leave home and never come abck again lol

[rc2002]

HINT TIME:The Gift outside the box has 4 wheels.... Was Made in Asia..... Is Black

Ummmm ok... I think we can see that the car parked on the driveway is black and has four wheels.

Seems like a scam to me. It's never said clearly that there is a car in the garage.

[Goblin]

All I can say is..

OUCH!

The dude gets his present taken away.. WHAT!!!

Its a honda civic.....

In his first hour and in mph!!!

[harley11]

Probably a set of keys and 4 rims...lol....

If its to good to be true then it probably is.

[arian_ma]

A suped up go kart?

[alpha]

its gonna be a toy car I bet. lol made in china
:rofl:

[Hakkola]

The dad bought it for the kid, I doubt it's in her name. I think the father would be a little pissed if the mother sold the car he bought for $400.

[Nova316]

Well it had to of gone 64mph
Maybe a go-kart falling off a cliff :)
I doubt it was a civic for 500$
unless it was like a 1980's

[Anton]

She only ever says that what she's selling is "his favorite birthday present"...that doesn't mean that it was his car...

Although I am tempted to bid :nut:

[arian_ma]

Also


something he has wanted soooooo bad...

I don't think a mother types like that hahaha.


Now for all the "legal" stuff. As per Ebay Mystery Auction rules: You are bidding on a Box with a Set Of Keys inside. Anything outside the box that I send is my gift to you

Doesn't need to send you the car even :thumbsup:

[93hustler]

Either a scam or the person has some mental issues
:nut: :nut: :confused: :confused:

[anarchy]

This reminds me of the family guy episode where Peter can get a free motor boat, or whatever is in the mystery box. He picks the mystery box and it's a coupon or something like that I forget hahaha.

[Supa Dexta]

What about the house? Doesn't seem like an overly nice house from the small amount I can see.. Not "buy your kid a "sportcar" for their 16th" type of nice anyways..... :dunno:

[AllGoNoShow]

mhmhm, back rims on the car look photoshopped, the reflectioni n the black car ont he drveway shows Im guessing 3 garage doors, not 2.

Although its just like the EBay auction of the guy cheated on his wife and got busted, sold his brand new M3 for like $600 or something.

It was a Lotus Esprit V8, and she sold it for one British pound. So, about $2.20.

There was more then likely more then one "husband cheated on wife so she sold his car" sale on ebay.

[clem24]

Never know, story could be fake. I mean, if the person took a cardboard box from a Sony TV, stuck 4 wheels on it, glued a lock to it, and made all this last year, then it would qualify, wouldn't it? Heck, they could've rolled it down a hill with a school zone and clocked it. I'll be skeptical for now... It's not even listed under eBay motors.

[snowboard]

it says its a 2005 in the question box

hmmmmmmmm :confused:

[BerserkerCatSplat]

I'll bet it's a black remote controlled car, made in China.

[kane584]

its a toy car, you can push toy cars up to 64 km / h
manufactured in china,

[andres_mt]

and your point is...

[.civictyper.]

lol, that is pretty crazy. i would like to know what it is

[toyboy88]

civic or celica...????

[MidnightDreamer]

My bet is the civic... there's no production model 2005 Celica... But yea... It's either a civic or a r/c car... made in 2005 lol... really curious now.

When i saw that picture I was very suspicious about the car in the driveway. To me that looks like a Alfa 156 GTA judging by the rear door handles, mirros, and sidemarker. If thats the case, the car isnt in the USA as new Alfas arent sold or imported (as I know of) to the USA.

Pic for comparision:

haha, I absolutly adore the new Alfa's, when I went to Asia last year I saw one first hand beautiful, beautiful cars. Those cars have very disctive styling cues so if you want to scam someone dont use an Alfa! :thumbsup:

[THELMIT]

looks like a really nice car though too bad its illegal:rofl:

[schurchill39]

I emailed the "mother" from ebay to find out what was going on with the car in her drive way being from europe and the 3 door garage reflected in the cars paint and this was what I got as a reply:


Sorry for the delay... I am trying my best to get all ... or at least many of the email I have gotten answered. I did not know this was going to get the notice it has.

The House is actualy in Germany. It belongs to my brother.

As a single woman I did not feel safe posting a picture of my house on the internet.

Of course the picture has nothing to do with the auction. I was just looking for a picture of a closed garage door.

As the the 'reflection'... I just have no idea what you are talking about

[dieselpower91]

Look closer at pics.. I don't think its a 3-car garage.. those lines are the where the door opens! :nut:

[stevieo]

ewll at least its 'newer'

"Q: Do you have the 'clear' right to give the item? And can you give another hint as to what the gift outside the box is?
Mar-26-06
A: Yes I do. Yes I can.. Last Hint: It was manufactured in 2005."

[black_radiation]

yeah yet they say continental US... im assuming its a scam and a half, because free shipping for a car... not cheap for the seller... lol

[nismodrifter]

Yeah I caught the Alfa on the driveway and the first word that came to mind is OWNED.

[SilverBoost]

This is a "I got money to burn bid" anyone who woudl miss the 11k it's up to now if they indeed got scammed, shouldn't be bidding on it. But who knows, there actually are some honest people left... she may be legit, even though statistically the winner should get hosed, but you never know. It's a clever auction either way.

[CryoCarnage]

i think its a s2k. at least i wish it was. maybe one day there will be an auction liek this for me :'(

[gofastmerc]

Anybody remember the Play Station box ebay scam? Somebody paid $500 for box. I have a feeling this might be the same.

[khtm]

Has anyone mentioned yet that it's a 2005 model Asian car? There's too many posts to read through.

I'm guessing a Hyundai Tiburon...but that's not a sports car so if I won the auction I'd kill that lying bitch.

[A_3]

Someone with a little money should put a moderately expensive car on there, like an S2K, for a similar mystery deal. Hopefully someone will buy it for a massive discount. Then, once that gains a bunch of publicity, they should sell off like 8 K-cars under a similar deal, with the reputation of 'guy who sold the S2K for pennies'. If you had cash to burn, it'd be funny to see how much you would make. And we all know some people just like 'deals'.

[Goblin]

LMFAO

You guys are thinking way to hard

IT IS JUST A PICTURE OF A HOUSE WITH A GARAGE WITH QUESTION MARKS ON IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol

[clem24]

Hey there's was one of those Alfas driving around Calgary last year. We followed it going up Nosehill Dr. by Crowfoot. It was a diplomats car (at least that's what I assume) since it still had European plates on it. Sweet car though. I love how the door handle is incorporated into the window trim, a la NSX/FD.

[RickDaTuner]

they pulled the auction... i got an email from ebay saying it violated some of the rules for those types of Auctions... i put in a bid back when it was still funny

[/////AMG]

Thats too bad

[Envitro]

I guess we will never know the true meaning of christmas.. err, the Mystery Car auction.

[Tech2]

And at least no one got scammed out of their cash either.
