How exactly can People do this? I mean like seriously, if you wire transfer to a bank account, it'll have a record and everything. Asking cause im looking into a Supra that costs around 11 grand CDN. Its the NA. I think thta this is a slightly fishy price considering its t he 98 model. :S. ANyway i emailed the guys and he seems pretty nice and he plays in the SPanish royal orchestra. HE said he is havign financial problems. But idunno. what do you guys think?

Why would you even ask this? Its a obviously a scam. 11 grand for a fucking 98 supra. My eagle talon costed that much and its older. Scammers always say shit like "my family is in need of money". Its overseas I bet, and your bank will do jack shit to get your money back because the guy opened an account with a fake id.

No they wont trace it, and even if they did, its useless because the guy would have taken all the money out and left.

An MKIV N/A supra's value is $15000 US minimum. Its a supra damnit.

As for him being a SPanish royal orchestra guy, ask him to sing you a song and video tape it so you know hes legit.

SO basically youre saying every single supra on this site is a scam even tho they supply the VIN numbers and use the delivery bros payment method? Its a company that does a safe transfer. You deposit with them and then when you recieve and sign, they give the money. COst 1 grand US to d this but oh well.

Also why would he even say hes with the SPanish royal orchestra? I mean really, do you go around telling people where you work and what you do?

the dude is a scammer, face it. no spanish guy with family problems could have afforded to by a damn supra anyway.

Its possible that it is legit. But DO NOT purchase the vehivle without physicaly seeing it and driving it.
As for the price being quite low. I think its quite possible as I purchased a legit #'s matching vehicle for 1/3 of market value.
But be VERY careful. There are some usless bags of skin out there.
