yea man. this screams dangerous. first of all it sounds too good to be true, so that is probably the case. second of all, even if you see it has a perfect CARFAX, you will still not know if the bank owns it. lastly, think of this: you get a check at the bank for the price he wants, you drive to go meet with him. you see the car, get out of your car, approach the LS, and 5 guys jump out the back and take your 15g's. see that in my mind would then answer the question of how they got the LS. 15 g's at a time..

i wouldnt even waste the website's bandwith haha

With most of these scams, pictures of the car and the VIN are lifted from elsewhere. So more likely than not, a Carfax report would show no problems.

Man, I've already sent him my account number and password to verify my sincerity.

Barnum said something to the effect "there is a sucker born every day." If you choose to be todays sucker you deserve what you get.
