    First I think they don't have a model year 1997 for F50

    Secondly, the price does not sound right??

    The contact info. lists "Bandung International". A quick google shows that they are located in West Java, Indonesia. Not saying that it's not legit but that should raise a flag.

    this is my first post on Fchat but id just like to say hello! As i remember the F50 was made up until 97 for euro cars, while they were only produced in 95 for the US, so the model year should be safe. But, those pictures are from another collection that has been advertised on the car clasic collection for some time and according to the add that car is in the north of france!

    This guy ran ads for an F40 for 100K in the collector car trader. This is a scam you can check with the DOT but 96-97 F50's cannot be imported due to OBD2 or something like that.

    WTF? A scam on Dupont? Doesn't it cost an arm to advertise through them? This is confusing.

    An ad, scam or otherwise, is an investment, not an expense.

    Yes, this same guy in Indo ran an ad for a 360, I think 02, for 100k. I communicated with him by email and when I mentioned flying down to inspect the car, I never heard from him again. I bet it is the same guy and he has been schooled overseas, like Nigeria for instance!
