Anyone familiar with this car?

Hello All,
I am new to this site and will try to forego the usual newbie mistakes. I am looking at purchasing a 92 TT 55-spd from a person in Miami. He claims to be in the military and is now stationed in Prague. I was given an extensive list of mods to the car and an album of 49 pictures showing every possible angle of the car at least once. There are only 77K miles and he included a CarFax report on the vehicle. It was registered in Texas, Florida & Hawaii. There is a ZDriver sticker in the front window and that is what turned me on to this site.
I am rather leary of buying a car site-unseen but he seems to be able to provide all the needed answers. The price is incredibly low for a car of such potential. I drove a new TT in '92 while working at a car dealership and have wanted one ever since. This seems like to good an opportunity to miss but the deal seems almost to good to be true. There is the dilemna. Any input would be appreciated. I am planning on finalizing the purchase this week. I hope to join the proud league of owners of this incredible car very soon.

He has given me the VIN, a carfax report, and established an account with SquareTrade that has a 10K$ gaurantee. SquareTrade e-mailed me stating his information has been verified. Supposedly I am supposed to receive the car and have 5 days to evaluate it before giving my approval. If I like it then Squaretrade releases the funds to him. If it doesn't turn out than I get my money back.
I have the list of modifications and the pictures on 2 different e-mails he sent me. I would post the links to them if I knew how. I can put the VIN up though.

If this is your car, somebody, than I'm sorry for putting your VIN up.
And congrats on building one hell of a ride. If this ends up being legitimate...
I'll post the mods and pics when I figure out how.

If I were to e-mail them to somebody with a friggin clue, maybe they could get the attachments on here.
The guy just told me that he had the car ready to ship to me and he's waiting for the confirmation from Squaretrade of the deposit.
It's a medium blue 5-spd tt '92 in Florida. Pretty much everything on the car has been upgraded.
I'd be happy to forward the 2 relevant e-mails to anyone.
Thanks,
Jake

FRAUD ALERT, Jago whatever you do don't send any money to this guy and only buy the car with cash on delivery, I have been looking into this car as well as it is advertised on a German website, his name is supposed to be David Angota, the car is supposed to be in Prague sounds like the same car to me and he is asking about $6000.00 the idiot tells me the car has 230bhp and yet the spec sheet looks like it has about 500bhp+ it also has US spec seatbelts which were not available in Europe, and it appears he is lying about owning the car from new as well as he would not have been able to buy a US spec car new in Europe etc etc the innacuracies continue...........just as well the sticker in the winscreen also brought me to this site..........................

Here is the email he sent me and hundreads of others I guess

Hello !
Sorry for delay (I just come back from holiday) and sorry for the language , I don't speak so good German language and so.... I will communicate only in English .
My name is David Angotta, the owner of the Nissan.
I'm glad that you like my Nissan and I can only say that you have good taste about cars!
I hope I will take around 4.850 euros, for my car.
I am glad to inform you that the car is in a perfect condition,has never been involved in any accidents , has never been raced, It has a clear papers and I have registered the car in Germany (cuz I was bought it from Erding).
I am the first owner of the car, I bought it directly from Germany and it's registered there, you can register very easy in which country in all Europe, because it's an EU model, It can be registered into your name, so stay cool about this.
Let me tell you something about this car... The Nissan is in a great condition, almost new and the engine have 230 PS . Has been used just 86.500 km. Most of the Km's are made on highway. The car needs nothing, only a new and serious owner because this car is a really beauty.
The registration paper is in hand and it's clear. It's a beauty, believe me. This is a Nissan made in 08/1992.
The price is 4.850 euros , plus shipping fees (or you can come at my place and pick up the car).
I am not going to go into all of the details on the performances, because I don't know if you're familiar with this car. (If you want to see all car pictures , just click this link to my album)

http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/angott...7DEvDBiVBBC5BM

Now I am currently located in Prague, Czech Republic with the car.
I moved here five months ago when I got married here .
I'm in the U.S.Army ( lieutenant ), and here in Prague I work at American Embassy, as military attached for long time , about 3 years .
I put a low price because me and my wife decided to buy a house from here , from Prague and I need money for this and I don't have time to stay for a high price.
I took care of it like it was my own baby and now is in the same condition as it was when I bought it - even better!
I work at Embassy and I don't have the time for come back in Germany and sell the car from Germany and I know I will sell the car at high price than 6 - 7,000 Euros. So... I will ship the car to your location with the train or air cargo, depend how we will convent.
Else , I hope you understand me that I haven't time to stay with every "curious" customer ( in this moment I have ~260 email from ~260 possible buyers), I'm not a dealer and in this case I will not meet with you without an insurance from you that you are really interested in my car and you have all the money for pay my car.
If you are interested in the car please advice your full name and address so I can
estimate shipping cost and I will let you know my terms and conditions.
My lawyer will be made the bill of sale and all the papers .
Please note that I have no time to waste or money and I think neither do you, so I am asking seriousity.

Respectfully,
David A.

Here is the link that he sent to me with the pictures of the car he claims to have 230bhp.................lolololololol

He is obviously of Eastern European origin as his English sucks, one should be very careful in any dealings out of Eastern Europe or West / South Africa especially Nigeria

if he was a lieutenant in the us army, his english would be much better. he also tries to convince you it is not a scam just a bit too much. unless you do the deal face to face, i would walk.

Yeah this is the same car. Our last correspondence involved him stating the price of the car being 3000 higher than anything we had discussed before. I questioned him on it and have heard nothing else. Must be trying to run to many scams to keep them all straight.
Whoever truly owns this car should take some precautions. This guy is throwing the ownership records of this car around and the VIN.
Beautiful ride.
And thanks for the advice all.

this car is know all over the internet there is no way you could have this thing for 6g's just go to yahoo and go to images and search 300zx you'll find at least 6 of these pics here from just random 300zx webpages. I hate people who act like they have a beautiful car and to make it worse try and sell it.

The email I recieved

Hello
First of all I want to thank you for contact me and your interest in my car. I am glad to inform you that the car is in a perfect condition, has never been involved in any accidents, has never been raced. It has a clear title and I am the only owner. The car is titled in USA .
We have to tell you that we are located in London/UK and I will ship the car from here and we will cover the fees for the shipping and insurance to your home address. This is my car but we just moved here with our business and we can't use the car here because it'S left hand drive and here we need a car with right hand drive, but i think you know that.
I don't want to get rich by this selling, just want to give it to someone who
will take good care. Because of my job I am traveling a lot and I can not stay
home and expect to meet potential clients. The car will arrive to your door in 4 days maximum. The final price is $4990.
For payment, I´ll like to use an secure way, so we´ll be both protected.
Please let me know your thoughts.
I am waiting your answer.
Respectfully,
William Pollard

P.S.
This is my car :

after I took his bait

Hello again David,
So if you want that our deal to be safe here it is what i can propose you: let's use a third part to manage our deal...what about that?
I prefer the payment to be hold by a third party like Alert Pay and only after you receive and test the car the payment has to be released to me. After you will receive the car you have 5 business days to decide if you will buy it or not.
That third party it is Alert Pay, and if you are agree, provide me all yours info's: full name, address and the phone number, and I'll contact them about this sale. After that, the Alert Pay co. we'll contact us.

Respectfully,
William Pollard

Ok, so first off he's offering to pay to ship a car over seas? laugh

Then he says it will be at you door in 4 days? laugh

Then if you dont want it within 5 days he's just going to have it shipped back across the atlantic? laugh

What an A$$HOLE. Well atleast these scam artists aren't the brightest bunch

Too good to be true = Too good to be true
