My old Maxima on EBay - WARNING!!!

Hey Guys

I traded my old max in at a dealer. Today, another local ord'er found it listed on eBay.

DO NOT BUY THIS CAR!

1 - Tranny is fried
2 - Hole in Gas Tank
3 - Suspension bolts are stripped
4 - No Trunk at all (metal was cut out)
5 - Electrical Issues
6 - Hole in exhaust
7 - 3/4 of it has been repainted
8 - Fogs don't work

LINK: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2002-...QQcmdZViewItem

Guy want's 13k for it... If you want to fix it, go for it. I have 1 more key for it if you buy it though haha.

KEEP AWAY

This should explain the quality of the seller!

You might wanna email ebaymotors and warn them this seller is scamming.

Doubtful Ebay will do anything, but at least you know you tried...

Someone already pointed this out but what a moron. "The performance in this car is breathe taken. " I believe the word you were looking for is breathtaking genius, I wouldn't buy the car just for that. That is like mispelling something on your resume. Igor why did you cut the trunk out were you trying to save weight haha

I didn't even know you sold your Maxima. Looks/sounds like you abused it pretty well.

I wondered why I didn't see your Max around CCBC anymore. Sorry that you sold it. Why didn't you sell the parts?

Before I even got to your post, I sent the following:

Hello,

Very interested in this car. Could you take a picture of the inside of the trunk?

I didn't care for parting out $300 worth of crap...wasn't sufficient for my time

I however do still have a custom box for the trunk forsale, a FTSB and some other misc junk. I will post in FS soon

Guys, a word of advice if I may. Never, NEVER buy a car that is coming from Elizabeth, NJ. Other key locations to stay away from, Newark & Camden.

Car fixed???

Hey what if he fixed the car for Igor and now selling it all fixed up??? That's why it looks a bit different according to Igor. That could be true, but who knows? The GAB still has a hole in it. lol

So Igor, you traded your max for an SUV??? I guess it's not that bad if you're gonna go offroading.
BTW Igor I didn't have any idea your Max was that bad. lol

Is this something that is new or used? I can't recall anything that is rated at 297hp off the top of my head. Hmm
