Question Good Deal????

Ok guys i really need some help on this. My goal has been to find me decently priced RSX Type S and i was recently looking around and found one out of the country. Now it sounds really fishy is the only reason i hesitate to buy it and you will know what i mean when i tell you

The car is in the Netherlands, it is a 2004 White Type S with 980 miles on it with heated seats! The guy wants the car for $8500!! plus $1000 shipping. I asked why so cheap, he said he works closer to home and he can now drive his lamborghini to work LoL. It just sounds fishy and i dont know if i want to send this guy $1000 down payment and have him screw me or send me a f-ed up car that was stollen or miles were rolled back. So what do you guys think???

Oh, what currency do the Netherlands use?? Cause in one of the pics there was an American flag flying in the background??? WTF??

Can you say Scam.....My friend was just asking me about a guy selling an 2003 X5 4.4 for $19,000 in Europe somewhere. If I was you I wouldnt buy it....cause you will probably get ripped off and never see the car.

lol, he means euro my friend. Dollar < Euro. End of story. I recently went to Amsterdam, and I saw a hamburger, it was like 3-4 euro, which seemed like a good deal cuz it was pretty friggin big, then I went to pay in dollar, and it was like 6-7 bucks. I'm not sure on the numbers, but euro is significantly more than the dollar.

i know that a euro is worth more than a dollar, but the guy specifically said 8500 USD. period. I think its a scam cause he wont email me back now that i kinda got an attitude with him about the price and everything.

I don't think there is anyone in this world who would own a Lamborghini AND an RSX at the same time. It just doesn't make sense. You guys agree?
