This supra was listed on AutoTrader for $6600. The seller offered to arrange and pay for shipping from overseas to the US. The shipping site looks sketchy and looks like a part of the scam as well.

Hello, Brett!!! You are looking at a 1994 Toyota Supra twin turbo featuring a TRD widebody kit, 6 speed, targa top with 78,000 miles on it.
The car is painted a color designed to replicate the highly desirable "QuickSilver," although it is not identical, the differences are nearly indistinguishable unless parked side by side. The car has new rubber and the motor was completely rebuilt about 8,000 miles and just gone through again and freshened with a valve job, new head gasket, ARP head studs and some additional cosmetic enhancements.For more details of the car and engine please let me know. No severe problems (major accidents, fire, flood damage, major odometer
problems or lemon history),garage kept. The title is clear ,here is the vin
# jt2ja82j2r0010038.Right now I'm in London ,UK with my family .My wifes works here for 1 year ,it was hard for her and our kids to stay seperate ,me and the kids in US and my wife in London ,so I moved in London 2 moths ago along with the kids.The price is $6600 and I think you are probably wondering why is the car cheaper . Well ,we found a very good offer for buying a house and we need to make a downpaymnet asap .I hate to sell it but it's nothing I can do !!!The car is here with me in London UK, I've tried sell it local,but since the car is registered in US (so no import taxes )and it has the steering wheel on the left side of the car,nobody wants it.To register the car here is very expansive and you know that the british models have the steering wheel on the right side of the car.Thats why i'm trying to sell it back to US.If you're still interested in my car and you want to move forward with the deal i want you to know that i'll take care of the shipping costs.My name is Jagan Boddu and I will appreciate a fast reply .Thanks for your time !!!

Sparco Milano red leather seats were just added as was a host of brand new second generation Blitz gauges. A Sparco harness bar, steering wheel and harnesses were also added. The car features European tail lights, 97 headlights converted to HID’s, and a great sounding, lightweight sound system.

A new carbon fiber valve cover was added to the engine bay as you can see in this shot. It replaced the billet valve cover that was in the previous shots of the motor.

Of course, most of this car’s appeal is the motor. I acquired the car late this year and since then have gone through and remedied all the little annoyances and things that were not perfect.

Simply put, this car is a monster. With additional tuning and a switch an AEM EMS, this car should make over 900 whp. Best of all, these turbos spool much faster than you’d have thought possible. Everything under the hood is polished, braided and immaculate. The car does not run hot, the oil cooler is an added safety measure and everything has been designed to be reliable.

The car can run at about 14 psi on pump gas, and on 100 octane, we run 18 psi regularly. At 18 psi, the tires are already very over-powered and anything more than this without a sticky tire just puts the car sideways. Even at 16 psi, full throttle is for the brave only….and you better be pointed straight. I’ve dispatched more than a few 1000cc street bikes, Vipers and Porsches…from a roll and have never run the car over 20 psi. The sound of the Blow off is incredible….the car is among the loudest Supra’s I’ve heard with its’ monster 4 inch exhaust, but the blow off sound turns heads from across the street.

The car runs and idles fine, although cold start ups require a proper warm up before boosting (with no EGR or IAC motor, this is the car’s one idiosyncrasy…easily remedied with an AEM EMS).

The car features very rare Work Equip 19 inch wheels. 3 are perfect, 1 has some scuffs and will take $300 to repair. The Brembo brakes work flawlessly.

I absolutely adore the car…however, a change in my life situation mandates that it be sold…and fast and as such.

Hi,
Like i've told you before the car is here with me in London,UK but i'm willing to take care of the shipping costs.The car is still registered in US.The car will be shipped through World Express Company ( a british company ). Please check this out : www.worldexp.biz and let me know what you think.
This company also takes care of the payment part. It's like a third party, like an escrow service.The car has to make a pre delivery inspection, so it will be insured against all damages during the transport .If you're a serious buyer please send me your full name and address so i can start the shipping process. I need to be 100% sure that you realy want to close the deal with me. I don't want to pay the shipping costs for nothing. Anyway the car is cheaper and i can't afford to lose more money. I hope you understand me.After the shipping arrangements are made i'll give you the tracking # so you can check the car.Then I will wait for the company to confirm me your payment so i can let the car go.
When you receive the car you'll have a certain amount of days to look over it and make sure nothing's wrong with it. If something's wrong with the car, you have the right to send it back, (within the days agreed), and you won't get the money back until I approve that the car is in the same condition as it was when I sent it. So we are both protected this way. The shipping back costs will be covered by the company. You can find more infos on their website. Let me know if you agree so we can put this process in motion.

 

IT IS A SCAM.

For the love of god, can we get a sticky on CHEAP Mk4 Supras?

Sidenote:
http://www.supratraderonline.com/supras/listings/l0022.html

That VIN is registered to a Mk4 Supra in Chandler, Arizona and is found on several websites. You will notice that the real one is being sold for $71,500.

 

Sticky you want, sticky you get. Please post only those ads believed to be/verified to be scams. Ask first in another thread to avoid clutter. Email addresses and names of verified scammers welcomed, including ebay manes. Nothing is to go in here with a name until it can be confirmed to be crap (ie, you know the real owner, have seen the real for sale site etc).

I've deleted all the non contributing threads from the original to clean it up.

Here is another scammer and he mostly post in http://www.autotrader.com. He goes by the name "David Goranski". I was searching for an MKIV and came across his supra sale. Asking price $5990USD for a non modified supra. I seem temping, I e-mail him....

He sent me some picture and here is what i got:

From: David Goranskis (davegor36@yahoo.com)

Hello there,

First of all,sorry for the delay but I had some problems with my computer.

My name is David Goranskis and I am the legal owner of this 1993 Toyota Supra. The car is in perfect condition as it is shown in the ad and has no mechanical problems. All services has been made at a Toyota Service. I'm the 2nd owner of this car, I bought it in November 2004, and it has 105 000 miles on it. The title is clear,so,there is no damage on it.

Thanks, David

I ask him for VIN of the supra, plus more pictures. But this is what I got.


From: David Goranskis (davegor36@yahoo.com)

Hello again,

The car is located in Stockton, New Jersey but don't worry because the car can be shipped to your location without any extra costs for the shipping because there are included in the final price. I recently moved with my family and now we are in Berlin, Germany. Since I lost my job and I didn't found one here yet,I have to sell this car as soon as possible and due to the fact that this car is an US model the price to register it here is very high,also the shipping to this place, so I've decided to sell it in US at a price that will find a buyer in a few days .

I have the car locked up in my garage in US.As I've said the car is in perfect mechanical and esthetical condition.The price that I'm looking for it is 5990 USD ( this price include shipping and handling ) .As soon as the payment will be made I will take a plane to US and take care! of things.

For safety reasons I think that the most important thing when we make a deal over the internet,is to have both of us 100% protection in case of fraud or anything else.
That's the reason why I used a big,reputable,trustable company, SquareTrade, in all my deals until now.

I am a SquareTrade Seal Member and I want to make the deal thru them. They will act like a THIRD PARTY and we will be both 100% protected.The money will be HELD by them into their secure escrow account and I will give you 5 days to test the car and to see that nothing is wrong with it.I made few deals on AutoTrader and eBay in this way and it worked very well.

Here are the steps of the deal :

1.The Seller will open the transaction --> 2.The buyer has to make t! he payment to SquareTrade Financial Department and they will deposit the money into their secure escrow account --> 3.The Seller will receive the confirmation that the payment is done --> 4.The seller will ship the item to the buyer and he has 5 days to inspect it -->5.The buyer will contact SquareTrade and will notify them if he is satisfied or not --> 6.SquareTrade will release the money to the seller(in case the buyer is satisfied) or will refund the buyer(in case he is not satisfied).

In case you have any question about how this service work,please ask me and I will be more than happy to give you all the details.So,please read this email twice and let me know.I hope you agree with me,because I think that it is the best way to protect both(seller and buyer).

If so,please provide me your full name and shipping address so i can contact Square! Trade and start the transaction.

Just email me back and let me know

I sent him a reply just with "?" and he replied "I don't understand" (I've lost that last e-mail)

well, from a long story short, I start to look who was "Square trade" found on ebay forum thread that it was a fraud company.
I've heard about these scam artist and punch his name in a search engine and guess what there was a couple of people that got scam from him.

The biggest give away that I notice was the picture he sent me (sorry but I've deleted those picture from my computer: reason his name was across the picture) that two shot from the outside looking into the interior: one picture the exterior black and the interior black chair than the other picture exterior: black interior tan chairs

Becarefull of "David Goranskis" with a black 1993 Toyota Supra TT or NA (no picture of the engine to verify)

Hello and sorry for the delay,

The car is in perfect working condition. My experienced vechicle tech has fully checked out this car and gives it a special high rating has a CLEAR and CLEAN TITLE a great history and mechanically without any problems ever safety check and pre-delivery inspection along with a fresh servicing before I ship or deliver the vehicle. The problem is that in the meanwhile I had to move with my family in Croatia where I got a new job as a construction engineer. I brought the car here with me with the intention of driving it but when I found out about the very high import duties and all the restrictions regarding registration and emissions tests here I have made up my mind and decided to sell the vehicle.
The amount you will have to pay in order to own this vehicle is $7,500 with shipping costs included!
Let me know if you are still interested.
Regards,

Hi again,
As I said in my first email the car is currently located in Zagreb, Croatia and it will be shipped from here by water.You will get the car to the nearest port in your area and then it will be trucked forward to your place.
Usually shipment takes maximum 10 days depending on your location and will be fully insured against damages,shipped in a crated container. Total price of the car including all shipping costs and insurance all the way to your place is $7,500.
The most important thing in all my activity here is that I am affiliated with Square Trade where I have a purchase protection account for CND $ 20,000. Square Trade is the insurer of this transaction by using a certified third party to insure that both parties comply to transaction requirements.

In order to notify Square Trade I will need buyer's full name and shipping address so I can open a transaction case and they will contact you for further details and instructions.
The car is still available but I have a few guys interested so I will need a prompt answer from you!
VIN#: jt2ja82j0r0017909

I sent him again e-mail insisting for more picture of the engine bay and a picture of the VIN number, here is what I got:

Hello
Thank you for your interest in my 1994 Toyota Supra. First of all, the car is mint from front to rear so please don't ask me questions like "is it running, does it leak, does it have scratches, rust, floods, accidents.." or any similar questions. This car has been well maintained and garage kept, it is only weekend drivin. There are a lot of modifications done to this car, by highly qualified and highly recommended technitions, it puts down 800hp at the rear wheels with great drivablility! There is so much to list of modifications, that if seriously interested, I will email a detailed list to you. Also, 90% of the stock parts are still available. Here is a complete set of pictures http://s92.photobucket.com/albums/l29/zambaccian111ll (copy and paste the link)
The car is currently located in Shalimar, FL- USA. I have listed the car on many websites including autotrader.ca in order to get as much offers as possible, however you must know that the vehicle has a US registration on it, NOT a Canadian one!! Please be aware that the vehicle is admissible to Canada and conforms to all emissions/safety requirements needed to be imported to Canada ( I checked it myself on http://www.riv.ca ). Once again, the only reason for listing it on autotrader.ca is to sell the car faster.
This is a fast sale forced by financial reasons. My wife and I are expecting our first child in a couple of weeks and we need to make some financial arrangements before this happens. I already have tons of emails so you must understand that I must sort them out somehow. That is why I will take into consideration only the serious buyers. So, I want this transaction to be smooth enough as I am caught in the middle of some very important events and have little time at my disposal.
Vehicle is available for check out/pick up in Shalimar, Florida (for local buyers or for cash payments vehicle inspection/ pick up is available anytime during 5:00PM - 9:30PM Monday-Friday ). Also, shipping is available within Continental US/Canada.
The price i am asking for it is US $8,000. I will not negotiate the price !
If you are seriously interested in buying please e-mail me your FULL NAME, COMPLETE ADDRESS, and PHONE # so we can start the arrangements!

Help ^_^

HI kehley98ce,

It looks like a scammer. $4000 for 1994 Toyota Supra in good condition. If it was a salvage (repairable) supra I might beleive it.
Here what you do:
1. Ask for pictures of the supra. Check if the supra is mod(high performance parts, exotic paint job, ect ect) its sure a scam.
2. After the pics, tell the seller that you coinsidance are going on a business trip to Baytown Texas and would like the to see the supra. As well, tell them I'm going to bring cash to buy it off.

Please post you result and pictures of the supra, to help other people avoid scammers.
I can't beleive they are now using Yahoo Finance.

Good luck,

(if you need help in post the pics, PM me and I'll help you)

Hello
My 1998 Toyota Supra Twin Turbo is in great shape.It is in a good condition, no scratches, and the price is $4500 firm.
The car was owned by my Dad and this car is not needed anymore, I am not much into cars but I know that this is in great shape and in perfect conditions I am only selling it cause I dont need it anymore and also I have to pay some debts so I need serious buyers and a fast deal.I am sorry to inform you but I am currently located in USA(visiting some relatives) but the car its still in Canada located at a shipping company in Terrace town and I can shipp it anywhere so that wont be a problem.We will use eBay`s protection program for our safety.I just need your full name and address so I can open a case (with no further obligation or fees).
Have a nice day.
Abygail

Hi
Is Terrace Town located in Calgary? Is the car here in Calgary?
Thank you

then she/he i dont know LOL

Hello,
Terrace is in BC.
Since I am not there we cant arrange an inspection or a pick up I am the only one who can pick it up or shipp it so the shipping must be done.I ll pay the shipping fees.The transaction will be made using eBay motors a company who will insure the transaction.
This service allows us to complete this transaction in a manner that is quick and safe for both of us. It acts as a third part between seller and buyer. eBay Cars is responsible to insure that both parties comply to transaction requirements, both parties must submit proof of payment/delivery presented in a legal form (payment/delivery receipt) by the registered payment/delivery service used.
I need your full name and address for the shipping and also I will set up the transaction through eBay and they will email you soon with all the details.
You will pay to ebay and you will get the car once they receive your payment and you will have 5 days of inspection in which you can decide if you buy the car or not.If you won`t like my car (not your case)you notify eBay and you send the car back on my cost,if you want to keep it you announce eBay and they will send me the money(payment method and all the details will be set up by eBay)and you will keep the car.So if you want to go on with a deal you can just follow the payment instructions from ebay,
Best Regards
Abygail


"5 days inspection" "ebay third party"

everything sounds similiar to the rest of the e-mail's on this forum

also, i have lots of time on my hands reading and looking at supras,
on the description on autotrader about the car it says that it has the OEM headlights and tailights on various models of 1998, well obviously its a 1998 car so it should be standard on it

Thank's for letting me know, i was about to buy this car.

 

common sense says this is a scam. wow...people these days...
