Thread: Apparently not so Mint 32,000 mile NX on ebay!

Miko is correct the car is what he said it is. Seat covers for the front seats with huge amounts of wear underneath, rear bumper is not painted over but rather an aftermarket cheap ass bumper (black ploy cheap kind) that has been painted. The parts for the most part on the car are all original but can not figure out how he did the OD discrepancy. Thinking he just disconnected the OD linkage cable? The car IMO has around 80-100 thousand miles on it. I knew that I would be able to tell once I saw the car. It is at best a 2-3 grand car and NOT what his ad or what this seller claims. I have filled a complete buyers VPP complaint through eBAY. Have to see what good that will do? The car overall rides good and could be a good car but it is for sure not what this seller claims and as MIKO said the dude is a scammer and should be punished. Anyone know any good consumer protection laywers in the area hit me up? I will try and get at least some of my money back.

Jamanrr if you check the front spoiler on the driver side by the fender looking down you will see it was glued on.

The engine bay is very clean like I told you.

I think the car was hit in the back but I am not sure how hard.

Good luck and hope you can get your money back from this Nasty Guy.

you know anyone down there? all I can do is go through the process. The tires and cupped as well but they are generals and are crap anyway.

This is sad but as llaprad said anytime I see this type of mileage I run away. GL

If you used your credit card to paypal the $800 deposit, dispute it that way (with your credit card company doing the work)!

^ I just did this with American Express and a set of 'bad' parts (useless garbage parts) a guy sold me. Granted it was only $26 in my case but while Paypal did nothing for me, my credit card company got me 100% refund and I didn't have to pay return shipping (would have cost me $12.86 to return junk and I wasn't willing to do that!)

Remember guys the car is not that bad.

It just is not what the seller said it was.


My opinion is the car has 100,000-120,000 miles. I say this because the shifter knob on the white NX2000 I have has just a little less wear. Now the more sweat a person has in the palm of his hand can cause the wear to be faster, but from an average person I go with my standing.

The car has been rear ended, how hard I have no idea because I just did a quick run over and why the guy was feeding me his bullshit I just decided not to dig any deeper into it.

American Express has great buyer protection and yes Miko did the right thing. I do not know about the 100-120 thousand miles on it? It does have the original brake rotors on it. So whether or not it has 80-120 thousand on it, it does not have 33 thousand on it. No way no how. The ad is for something this car is not. Hell the seat covers are not even what went on the car. They were made by someone else who did not even rebuild the foam padding around the drivers booster. It still had the worn out foam under it and super glued to the booster so you could not see it. The car is a scam and not what this dude says it is. He worked an eBay scam to perfection. This guy tried to get 5-6 grand for a car worth 2-3 grand. I got taken for 1500-2000 dollars that this car is NOT worth. Mechanical it is sound but it is also not an all original 32,000 mile car. Not by a long shot.

Even after all the back-and-forth drama of this thread, that seriously sucks dude. For your sake, I was hoping against hope that Miko overestimated the shady-ness.

I f*cking hate thieves. And that Seller is a premeditated scheming, lying, deceitful, scumbag extraordinaire. I would bet you large money, this ain't his first Rip-Off-Rodeo.

Really, he not only needs legal consequences, but I would love to get my mitts on him. Away from witnesses, video, or cameras. Aside from the DA on his ass and some jail time, he needs a serious in-patient-hospitalized beatdown.

Best of luck. I hope a local prosecutor takes an interest.

I've had good luck, one time, with collecting money from an out of state scam artist. I just called the local PD, explained the situation and details which I then faxed to them. They sent a detective to the work place of the scammer. Had a little detective-to-jackass discussion with the Scammer about interstate fraud and thieves. Scammer paid his bill promptly and in full (LOL). I'm not saying that would work in your case, but sometimes sh*t works out.

You should exhaust every resource in trying to get this Scammer into a jail cell, and/or be reimbursed by about 50% of the purchase price.

I'm with you Shawn, I was really hoping Miko was at least partially wrong, just for jamanrr's sake.

When the auction was going on, I looked into this guy's previous eBay sales, and they were all sh*tty car parts or DVD/CDs in bulk. Basic flea market stuff. Plus a lot of his auctions were marked private. The only auction that was for a car before this one, has suspicious looking feedback.

Good luck man.

NOTE to self, carfax reports without good mileage posts are cars to be avoided! (unless there is other really good supporting documentation like oil change receipts from the dealer, etc.)

Heck, a carfax report is what helped me avoid even looking at a car in Phoenix last year! (It was one of the rare 1996 Infiniti I30 touring 5speed cars)... seller (in this case Russian accent) told me it had 123k miles and even emailed me a photo showing the odo YET the carfax report showed a mileage post of 189k 1 year earlier and other posts showing the progression to 189k over the years with smog checks, etc.

The pathetic thing is if he just properly advertised it at 189k or (odo broken), we probably would have still gone to see it!
