Carbon_Bullet Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 (edited) So I purchased a second supra, an thought I'd buy a TT engine too, Messaged a few people on here with no luck, so I turned to eBay, there's plenty on there I come across 1 with a 6sp gearbox, it was an auction style listing but I messaged to see if he would buy it now option, his reply was £2800 for the box & block, I thought it was to good to be true..

Glanza_Mike Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Yeah this engines been for sale for months and months a few people have said its a scam which it clearly is.

brassbones Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Anyone who just wires thousands of pounds to a random ebay seller deserves to be ripped off IMHO. How does it differ from the various Nigeria scams etc? If you are spending big on ebay .... COLLECT IN PERSON and with company!!!! If its too far / overseas etc .... LEAVE IT. Simples.

curious Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 If it's too good to be true it normally is. Use common sense and if you think you've got a bargain pay the fees and pay by paypal. If the seller does not want to accept paypal then walk away ! Better still go in person, check, pay and collect. Ebay cannot stop these guys as they keep using different login accounts, same as anything else there's always loopholes. It's not just 2jz's, this scams been running on RB26'S and German engines too for well over a year. Been documented on numerous forums for various marque's. Use due diligence or take your chances and don't cry when you lose your hard earned dollar ! Greed always leeds to rash and stupid decisions, that's why these guys bother to do what they are doing !
