A darn good FAKE to boot. I did a research on this car and come up with nothing at all. Here is the real one I have already spoke to them in person.

I reported them to Ebay and let the seller know that I did. I told them how I liked the fact that the VIN they provided said it was a 2008 Smart Fortwo Pure. Wow what a loser.

I reported her to Shepherdsville Police and Bullitt County Sheriff. I hope one of them have a fraud unit. I also reported it to Ebay.

Did anyone notice that her feedback rating went down?

I didn't check the original listing, but this one includes some fine print... it's only the title that includes "Smart". Note the VIN is admittedly fake on the listing, but we all recognize it as a Smart. If this is legit, the seller owns a Smart and is selling these. Reporting a fake VIN is a violation of ebay policy, as is selling something that doesn't yet exist. This user account's about to get disabled.


Unique design: Eco E Car is designed by American engineers for a sleek look similar to that of the famous Smart Car “Smart for Two” by Mercedes Benz. You get all the looks and compliments of the Smart Car without the price. And ours is electric!
...
Manufacturing: All Eco E Cars are manufactured specifically at the time someone orders, for each consumer. Please keep in mind the car is NOT made yet, we can add more options if you need more, let us know at the time you order, there is a fee for each extra option. Please note: the vin number is not for this car, it is from my car, this car does not have a number until it is produced! When you order your Car, it is built at that time and shipped directly to your door where available.
...
Direct Manufacturer: Car products are manufactured by us by contracted factories in Asia.

Whooeeee! and its fast, too! Notice in the comparison that the smart electric is touted as having a 60 mph top speed while their version will get you to work at a blazing 90 kpm! That's over 4x the speed of sound! (Of course, if they meant kph, that's really about 54 mph.) Interesting.
