Re: EBay Worked Out

It was a blind leap of faith! Although the broker was able to drop some names of dealers in my area which he has worked with in the past.

Sounds scary, but you should be fine (I hope).

Sure sign me up!
Got the car first thing this a.m as described.
I had a deposit for 2 years with a dealer(2nd in line), and when ordering time came, they f'd me with a 12k over sticker deal. Then had another deal with a different dealer and had my allocation sold out from under me. So, I ended up on ebay. Only thing I didnt get was the HUD.

Something similar happened to me...had deposit with dealer and when ordering time came they wanted $30K over...I ended up getting wait list spot on Ebay. Car has arrived to NJ and I will get it within 10 days.

M5 on eBay for MSRP

If this guy is legitimate, then it's a good deal. He is supposedly a dealer so I wonder why he bothered to list it on eBay only to ask MSRP for the car ? Doesn't it cost money to list it? If I lived closer, I would go and check it out.
The name of the town is Sellersvile. Interesting.

Ebay Item number: 4585649668

ebay warning!

There is a guy (Shawn Walsh) offering M5 slots in the bay area. Stay away. He has burned several friends with promises of M5 slots he can't deliver. Will take deposits and run.
