Default RS 5.0 misrepresentation

I just came across this eBay listing for a "2009 Scion tC 5.0 Release"

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=270708503891

Either the seller knows nothing about Release Series cars or they purposely made the title misleading in order to try and attract more attention to the auction. :-P

It's ebay, so any false advertising on there would not be a surprise. Just look at all the "chips" on Ebay that claim 45 hp increases. It's all just to get the product looked at and hopefully sold.

The auction's description has been changed to something a bit more realistic. Now lets just hope no one is foolish enough to pay that much for a car with so many miles.

I guess many want to be an RS 5.0 lol. They have a good ways to go. Still, at the end of the day there's only 2,000 originals, and nothing will change that.
