I hope no one falls for this scam. I found this guy through cars.com website as I was looking for an Audi A5. His car was definitely a good deal and of course it was too good to be true. He was selling a sob story of how he needed the money and that was the reason he priced his car to sell quickly and was only selling to those who did not need a loan for the car. He insisted on using Amazon Payment as that was the safest method for both parties.
The email came from checkout@amazon-financial-payment.com which is not an Amazon.com site. It looked very much like it however none of the help links ever direct you back to Amazon.com.
This guy is a beginner and cannot even get his story straight. I really hope he does not succeed in scamming anyone here.

This is the worst car dealership we ever visited.
Here is our story. Ultimate Automobiles (aka Motorsport) sold us a 2006 Honda Civic Hybrid which had major problems; however, they failed to inform us of these problems when we bought the car. Before we bought the car, all the lights on the dashboard were on, including engine light, brake light, IMA light, maintenance light, SRS light (for airbag). They told us it would not cost too much to get all these issues repaired, just around several hundred dollars. We then paid a deposit on April 20 to buy the car.
On April 22 dealer Ultimate Automobiles put a state inspection sticker on the car which indicated the car had passed the state inspection for Texas. Then we paid for the rest of the car in cash on April 22 and signed the agreement that we are aware of the car’s condition and would be responsible for the repair costs by ourselves.
But we were not aware at that time that the car would not pass the state inspection if all the lights are on, especially the engine light. Then we drove the car back home with all the lights on on the dashboard. We parked the car at home until April 27, when we sent the car to a Honda dealer to do a full inspection of the car and asked how much it would be to get all the things repaired caused by all the lights on. After their inspection, the Honda dealer give us an estimate on May 1 with an inspection report saying it would cost more than 8,000 dollars to get the car repaired!!! This was more than the price we had paid for the car itself.
The Honda dealer and we are all wondering how Ultimate Automobiles got the state inspection passed with all the lights on, especially the engine light. We asked Ultimate Automobiles to take back the car, but they refused and would not answer our phone calls, which is a big red flag.
Yes, we signed the agreement with Ultimate Automobiles that we will be responsible for the car repair costs, but were told we only needed several hundreds dollars! Moreover, from the beginning a dealer should not sell the car to us or to anybody with all the lights on especially the engine light, and the car should not have passed the state inspection.
We believe that KELLY LITTLEJOHN and JOE, the manager, are involved in a scam. We are filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and the Department of Public Safety and are considering taking legal action.
Later, after doing research online, we found out that other customers were cheated by this car dealership.

Thanks for asking This is a 2004 automatic Acura TL 49k miles and mint condition. No need for repairs, never has accidents and no engine problems.got 6-cyl and VIN: 19uua66294a045742. The clear title is ready to be signed on your name. Price is only $1,936 including delivery to your address because someone paid the shipping but after couldn’t get the loan to buy it(reason the shipping is free). I’m on sea for the next 3 months involved with a Green Peace project at the Arctic Circle and don’t need the car anymore(that way i sell it at this low price) also I need money for my project and want a quick deal(the reason i posted on internet) I decided to sell it online through Google Checkout because this protects both: buyer&seller. Also they give you a period of 10 days free inspection(test drive). If the car is not like I described they will ship it back on my expense and you will get a full refund. All documents, clear title and a bill of sale on your name will come along with the car.

Let me know your decision, Tiffany Parker!
Wow! I’ve read some pretty rough stories and it makes me curious as to why this person is using their imagination to make all this bull up.

Says she/he whoever it is has a 2005 Acura for 2300. That their is a third party Amazon Payments that will hold the money until the car is delivered and accepted. Instructs the buyer to send a money transfer through Western Union to an “agent” Andrew Manners. Very elaborate scam, uses Amazon logo and “page”. There is no car! The “agent” picks up the transfer in Baton Rouge, LA but there is an email amazon-payments@purchase-finance.com and a “fax” number 1-312-945-7384 that is a number in Chicago Il. This person even sent me a picture of a passport bearing her “name, date of birth” etc. I wonder who that is in that passport and if that person is safe? I believe it is a federal crime to hold a fake passport. I can not believe the measures people will go to and the creativity they will put into scamming individuals out of money. If they would just put half of that effort into a real job….oh but that would mean real work. I do hope these individuals are caught and have to face those they have scammed from, one can only hope.

This ad is obviously a scam given the year and price advertised. We live in California and our home phone number was used for
contact. We have received calls between the hours of 6:00am to 10:00pm from as far away as New York, Colorado, Minnesota,
Los Angeles, Dallas, Idaho, Las Vegas , and -Oklahoma to name a few.
We have notified Craigslist, but the calls keep on coming. It appears that their entire Data base around the country has
been comprimised.

Hi’
Hi Thank you for contacting me about my 2003 Nissan Altima SL that I have for sale. This car is in great shape (57,804 mileage, Transmission Automatic). I’m the original owner. It has no damage, no scratches or dents. It is in immaculate condition, meticulously maintained and hasn’t been involved in any accident…I do have the title, clear. I am selling it at this final price of $2,860 because my husband died 1 month ago (he had a heart attack) and it brings me bad memories and that’s the reason I want to sell it asap. I, along with my daughter decided to sell the house and so we moved to my brother in Miami trying to start a new life.
I want to use eBay services for the safety of both of us so if you’re interested in purchasing this car just email me with your full name, address including the zip code and phone number, so I can notify eBay that you are selected as my possible buyer and they will contact you to explain the entire procedure.
Thank you and have a nice day
Antonia Hannah
