Rep Power: 0 << yall, it's $4100 one time for a 36-month lease, which is pretty reasonable. >>
no its not, this is what it says:
You are bidding on how much you would pay per month for a 36 month 15,000 mile per year lease with ZERO cash due at signing. Dealer to cover all up front fees (including security deposit, all fees and even the first payment), You just sign and drive, and your payment will be due in 30 days. If you have any questions please call. Then only extra is tax for your area.

did a quick little calculation, if you pay 4100 a month 4 36 months your paying $147,600 for a CIVIC???? [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG] What the hell is wrong with this bid, or more importantly the people bidding?

Rep Power: 0 Some ppl just do not get it I guess. The BIN price was $239 per month which should have been the highest bid. This dude just entered into a contract to buy a 2k2 Civic for $174,600! As others have pointed out, they should have no problems getting off the hook though and from the looks of their feedback they are all deadbeats anyway.

Well legally you can't get off because it's a legally bound contract once they hit "Place Bid". But that is one hell of a way to screw people out of their money...
EDIT: If you look at the bid history, you would see that all of the people that are bidding are brand new to ebay. Most of them havn't even bought/sold anything yet...I would love to bitch out that guy in real life for taking advantage of people like that....

Rep Power: 0 the bidders are fine, stupid, but fine... the text is buried inside the ad, and no matter what ebay says about bidding being a "contract," it's not. Ebay doesn't have the authority to enforce that, and no one can prove who actually bid. (they could say my little sister was on the machine, someone was sleeping over, ID theft, etc...)

Rep Power: 0 Just my two cents -
The VIN number that is posted (JHMCG56482C007245) is for a Japanese built Accord, not a Civic. That may be why the engine is listed as 2.4L...even though the Accord engine is 2.3L...maybe they figured they would just ballpark the engine size and get it someone around the right area.

Rep Power: 415 how on earth do u know its an accord by the vin number? hehehe im lost [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]
Anyways I'm wondering if perhaps the ad is just worded wrong... you pay your bid amount to get on a $239/mo lease program for 36 months... so the bid becomes a downpayment... I'm not sure if that's a reasonable downpayment or not but... if it really is the $170,000+ scam some people have calculated to be... I don't believe that honda dealer will be in business for very long.

Actually, it says "this bid reflects how much you will pay PER MONTH," not for the whole term of the lease...looks like you're the type of person that would go ahead and bid on this...
oh well...I smell a nopayer in this auctioneers future...

Rep Power: 0 How do I know what the vin is, you ask?
It's really quite simple...kinda entertaining if you are REALLY bored...but anyway...
The first three letters of the VIN in question (JHMCG56482C007245) are JHM. The J signifies Japan, the country of manufacture; the HM is for Honda Motor Co. Ltd. and indicates the VIN is for a passenger car. The next three characters, CG5 - denote an Accord VTEC 4-Cylinder. All Accords have the fourth letter as a "C" regardless of generation (past 1981) and our Civics have all of their forth letters as "E" (also regardless of generation past 1981) For us 7th Genners, if you have a coupe you are an "EM" while a sedan is an "ES."
More info than was needed, but whatever...
