Considering I buy and sell cars like its going out of style I see scams like this everyday for a car with a low price... like an STi for 6k or a Z06 for 8k...
The part where he asks for your full name and address is where he is scamming you.
This is an idenity theft scam!
Once he has your info he will next need to know some banking info from you or something like that...

I would take a gentlemens bet that its a scam...
Let me know if you buy the car

But no, super-scam, typical. Would've been the deal of a lifetime had it been real.

it also has it's wheels on wrong...

it looks like a scam, but it's worth the trip to buy the car if you're serious...

also, stop by a few african countries - i sent money to bail a prince from a refugee camp, i'm not sure where he is now after our email interactions...

oh and $15.800 in american is still fifteen dollars and eighty cents - you should send that if anything.

I say its a scam. You know it, because you can feel it in your guts.
for that given price and the lack of attention to realize that there is no cassette player, we all know its a scam! good thing for noticing that minor detail, my friend!

Not only is it Rancho, but it's on Recycle Road. That's where all the junkyards are located. I used to live in Rancho, and I've been to TAP on Recycle Road a number of times.

So the pics were taken of a rebuilt car. More than likely a total someone restored. Still the price is way too low to be real.

Tell him you'll have to send him a cashier's check for more than the amount, and he'll need to wire you the excess as soon as he cashes it. Tell him you got a settlement check and it's the only way you can spend it. See what he says then...

Sgt buying a $60k car? You have no idea how much crap I took when I bought my '94 Supra in 1994 on E-5 pay. And yes, no POV ever goes aboard a cargo plane. The loadmaster and crew would be court-martialed.

Most performance mods need a watch and timed course to demonstrate actual improvement. Few deliver the advertised claims. Many are actually worse than stock. The best performance mods are made to the driver.

Emotional arguments - They're not just for chicks anymore.

definitely a scam, but some people will still fall for it.
if you are thinking of buying it, I'll suggest you donate your money to charity instead.
