Miata Turbo Forum - Boost cars, acquire cats. - How (and why) to Ramble on your goat sideways

Hello,
I think I covered everything in my ad, but again this is a Mazda MX-5 Miata 1999, with clear title, automatic transmission and 95,125 miles on it with 4 - Cyl. engine, VIN:JM1NB3531X0111820. The overall condition of the car is excellent. The paint is in perfect shape. There are no dings, scratches, any damage on the body or rust. The interior is also in perfect shape. This vehicle has been very well maintained and kept both smoke and accident free.

I have to get $2,950 for it. I priced it low because I moved and cannot keep paying insurance on it since I am not driving it. My time is limited due to my job, so I decided to use eBay and their Vehicle Purchase Protection Program (the car was listed on eBay). They handle all the paperwork and collection of selling price, and will hold the payment until you verify the car is as described and want to keep it. I have already enrolled and paid all the necessary fees.
The car is in Naples, FL, in case it gets sold I will take care of shipping.
Let me know if you want any more details.
P.S. Please do not reply if you don't have the money.
Thanks,
Elaine Stewart

Scam yes or no? I vote yes. Seems like a blanket email that is auto sent upon receipt of an email.

Could go either way, for starters, find someone with carfax and run the VIN, see if it's even in FL to begin with, then go from there. Ask for a telephone number, or forget it and don't waste your time.

Google "ebay buyer protection scam"

It's a scam.

I have received an infraction from this thread. Apparently asking why comments get deleted, then posting again in that thread are reason enough for the infraction. The "mods" on that forum are beyond retarded.

They have their policies, we have ours. That's really all there is to it.

I lost my comfy "come in whenever I want around school" job on Friday. I've really been in denial since. I don't know what to do. Can't really look for a job right now what with wrapping up semester projects, and then finals. I do know I need to be working full time over the break though.

I've been with the same company as an industrial coater, machinist, and now engineering assistant for 5yrs. Full time night shift for three years, and part time during semesters with full time during the breaks these past two years. Apparently the new owners decided my inconsistent work schedule was not needed (they had already let go of the engineer I was assistant to due to an easy high salary to knock off).

I thought things were bad last week.

Funny thing is I'm so busy with school this week I almost don't even care. I do know it's going to be hard for a student to walk in somewhere right now.

I am pretty sure he regularly auto-crosses with CDC and the local BMW club.
