I have been on track of someone who is behind a multiple number of scams. You realy have to be aware of the cars on there. The only way I would buy one is if it were from a dealer listing them on ebay or if I could look at the car before I gave them any money. Most of the scams are for ridiculously low prices such as the M5 you are talking about. Most of them get cancelled anyways...although you will most likel;y see it up for bid again(yet again gets cancelled). I wish these bastards would get caught and thrown in jail. Then they will see where the wild goose goes!

Ask him if you can have "someone you know in OH" to test drive for you. I can't wait for his response
