Thats no replica, it looks like a real California. They dont show the "BMW V12 engine" either.

What makes you think that when everything else seems to be rentals which they state are kit cars? I thought it looked pretty genuine but then I didnt watch the entire video

if you're going to create a scam you should at least make it realistic; why would anyone create a "replica" Audi A3 then sell it for more than a genuine A3 laugh Laughable really.

It's definitely a replica.



Pause at 0:25 and see the difference. smile

The California and F430 are real cars, the DB9 video was uploaded by somebody else so it's actually a replica.

This video is a different outfit and pause when the camera runs along the window-clock the interior. Looks like an old toyota-def not an Aston

Exactly the same as "Las Vegas Replicas" on Facebook, using images of real cars, even some UK cars, possibly even some PH'ers, charging $50k, and then they provide no car.

Their address corresponds to some Finance/Debt company in Las Vegas, I have done research into them. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Las-Vegas-Replicas/...

You've got to admit it's a good web-site, looks the part but the thing that stands out in particular is the 'G-mail' email adress!

Also that guys thumb makes me laugh! Hope no one believes in it all and pays up....

i'm not likely to own a ferrari or similar, bar a euro lottery win.
i'd like to, and if i had a decent amount of cash, and was abit stupid, perhaps i'd be easily parted with my money, as the old saying goes.
cons are set up as that, a con. you think, they'd only need to get a few deposits in off a few numptys and they'd be laughing, and move onto there next scam.

the video just stunk of being wrong imho
the car was just to perfect, no engine shots, in a car park, (no company premises) a quick 2 second shot at any "sema" type show with the legend that is chip foose, (yeah i bet he is angry) but this lot won't care, already being on their toes towards the next scam.

all that effort, and yet, it was seemingly shot on a fisher price camcorder, thats what struck me as being very wrong from the start.

quite a few years back, my brother in law informed me he was buying a 40 inch lcd telly for 600 quid online. (going rate back then was £12-1500) and did i want 1.
i told him it sounded to good to be true, so declined. he is still waiting for that tv.

That looks 100% real to me. Everything, the switches to adjust the seats, the little screen beside the dials, all this looks far too good to true!

The Aston looks pretty good, from the outside at least. Having said that I'd still rather have Chlamydia!
