Larry W Kenton, from London England has displayed some fishy behavior this morning

He's trying to sell the $60k looking purple SHOWCAR Supra on traderonline for $12,500...

called him out by offering to buy the car on the spot (at a personal friends LONDON based business.... ) guess this con didn't expect that!

WATCH OUT FOR THIS ONE!

By the way, I've never posted here before, but I have been looking for a "supercar" project recently, The Supra TT (93+ is at the top of my list, but I cant seem to find a decent one that compares to what I can get into a 3/S or similar class car for... any legit sellers PM me! I'm looking to spend around 10K, though...

For any who have seen that purple one? what is something like that worth?

A MKIV (93+) Supra will run around $25k, and that's the lowest I've seen for legit cars. You might be able to find one that been in a wreck for cheaper...but I'd save my money and get a good one...or get a MKIII and mod it...

Larry W Kenton, or whoever this jackass is, has somethings going for him though. Just look at the car in the photos! it is DEFINITELY a desirable car...

he has a somewhat believable story..... I could see how someone could get into a bind while trying to import a car, and who really knows what the laws are like in his country.

Furthermore, he comes across as a Gentleman.

Like I'd said, I called him out by directing him to take the car to my friends place of business in London.
Though undoubtedly, this jerk has gotten away with this scam before...

I'm more of a DSM / 3/S guy myself, but this is one place ALL us gearheads must band together on...

If someone in the know will PM or email me, I'll turn over all my correspondences... This guy needs to be shut down!
