This might be a good deal for a low-mileage 2009.

I'm fairly confident this auction was a scam. It's a stock R8 description with no option list and no phone number given. I wrote the zero-history auction owner twice (once with a standard history/option list questions message, and once with a please call me message) with no response. The $101k pricepoint seems like a great deal (yet still plausible), but what they really want is the $5k deposit through Paypal (which, in an effort to entice you, they claim is refundable). The original auction ended without a buyer...it's now back up with a buy-it-now of $95k. As someone who is seriously trying to purchase an R8, I wish this was real, but all signs point to a scam.

Sold for $94.5K. The beauty about eBay and PayPal is your deposit is insured against fraud. It may, however, take a LONG time to recover your money.

A seller not responding to questions certainly generates suspicion about the listing but there are a lot of first-timers on eBay that are legit. If the seller was taking bids (instead of BIN) you could enter a low-ball bid and then get his seller's info from eBay (name, address, phone & e-mail). Then, run the address in PayPal to see who you're dealing with. A PITA but sometimes, it's all above board.

You can get a seller's info just by bidding?

I think a bid will do it but I've never tried retrieving contact info (not the seller's eBay profile) on a bid. The only time I've used the utility is on an item I won, and I know that works.
