Does this 1937 Lasalle Coupe belong to any of you?

If this is a genuine add for a car that's in nice shape I'm very interested.

I don't know the car, but his other sale items point to a genuine eBayer selling things from time to time. I don't see anyone in IL in the Directory in that town.

Reasons to be cautious. Sellers feedback history includes only one for selling.   The wrong year listed. Wrong rear end ratio, ad shows no interior or engine shots. Could be a really nice car though if its above board.

Tim,
I suggest you contact the seller for more pics & info. Either have it inspected or go look at it yourself. Don't wait until the last minute.

I am in the process of getting more information as we speak.  The biggest concern was that the photos that this seller sent look vaguely familiar to ones I've already seen.  The other concern is that the seller said that the preferred payment method is bank wire....that usually screams scam in my mind.

[Cadillac Jack 82]

Seller also says that they would prefer questions go through email.  Definitely a scam...

If it did, it wouldn't be for sale.

Here is the same car as sold by Fast Lane Classic Cars in Missouri. At least they knew what year it is.

Nicely done Harry I knew I had seen that car before.

I wish there were a way to scam a scammer. It would be so satisfying!

It looks like the scammer has taken over the guys account?? The SOB is probably in Nigeria!!! How can this be exposed before the winner sends money???

[Cadillac Jack 82]

Questions only by email, payment in form of a wire transfer, pictures from a car that's been sold....its okay Ebay just found out about it.

[Steve Passmore]

This could be another. Wrong year,  Email coms only and all the guy is concerned about is how you get the money to him.

I guess I am missing the scam. He asks for full payment in 3 days? What else is wrong here? Except for the no reserve.

[Cadillac Jack 82]

Its a car from the same company/website which was sold in Missouri.  Its also a 1948 and not a 1949.

No reserve on high priced cars is also another red light.

[cadillac ken]

the ad has disappeared from e-bay

Some of you guys know I browse a lot I just spotted a 1920-21 Buick scam and the scams are always the same.  The scammer is getting s nice HD photo from a legitimate sale - they will never include a phone number ( or hardly ever).  Minimal content, one line.  And a price that is too good to be true. 

You respond to the CL link and the rest is history.

When I contacted him about the year I had a reply direct to my email address, not through eBay message system. Don't know how he got my email?  He said he had to check and then confirmed it was a 48. How would he not know that? All he was then concerned about was how he was going to be paid. Only at the end did he ask what I would give him for it. All this while bidding is still going on.
I think most would be wary as no one would expect to get that car for such a low top bid. Hope no one gets caught.
