Heres the fine print copied from the page:


 YOUR BID REPRESENTS HOW MUCH OVER THE MSRP THAT YOU ARE COMMITING TO PAY FOR THIS RARE MODEL. Your costs will be your winning bid, plus MSRP ($51,240.00), plus taxes, title, license and all other costs associated with a new car purchase.

After reading the fine print, I think this is a rip off!

Your costs will be your winning bid, plus MSRP ($51,240.00), plus taxes, title, license and all other costs associated with a new car purchase.

I would understand this to mean $71,240.00 plus tax, title, etc.  You never know what some people try to pull on Ebay.

Other famous scams:

"You are bidding on the Sony Playstation picture below" -- buyer's received a picture of an x-box.

"You are bidding on a Microsft X-box box" -- buyer's received an empty box.

By doing this they are also scamming EBAY!!!  Ebay charges a percentage of what the item sold for.

No scam that I see, it is clearly stated what they are bidding on, I have bought quite a few new production cars at well over MSRP.
