Would you buy a used car from this person?

Browsing TradeMe's car section, I looked at the Jaguars (yeah, I know, not entirely sensible) and found a '99 S-Type. Nothing unusual about that, but the seller or whoever it is that's modelling on the bonnet of the car seems quite remarkable:

Mmm... think I might pass on that. $15k seems a bit pricey anyway.

hint hint.... lol.

The auction wording: "OFFERS $15K OR ABOVE ONLY PLEASE...OR DON'T BOTHER ASKING BELOW AS YOU WILL NOT BE ANSWERED" and combining that with the amount of feedbacks - nuff said!

I messaged him:

Hi, i take it $15k is the auction start price?

Whats your buynow? I guess car is worth $23 or $24k.

I dont have that much, but if you pull the auction out now, I could come and pay you $20,000. Do you have any buyer fee I have to pay? Some auctions like turners have the buyer fee. How much more on this one?

It must be one of those new digital cameras that automatically reveal the true face of aliens on this planet...

Well... we have a lot of volcanoes in Auckland, so don't be surprised to discover thetans on Trademe.

Okay thanks!

How much do I need to pay. My dad said he will give me the money, but he said to make sure I get best price from you. He said he will give a bank cheque today.

Please let me know soon, as I really want it!
