Default Too good to be true? Error?

I'm in the market for a USB IS-F. I got on vast to see what was available and came across this F.

This just doesn't sound right.

If it's too good to be true, then it probably is.

Something seems off with this dealer in general. The prices on most of there inventory doesn't match the current market.

http://dealers.lemonfree.com/318522_2/big.dog.autos

http://autos.yahoo.com/used-cars/ove...Los+Angeles+CA


If these prices are real I will buy there whole inventory and be a wealthy man by the end of July.

I wasn't interested in buying it, I just saw the price and thought "wtf".

And I assumed since it was on vast, that there was some sort of authenticity to it.

How do these scams work? Are they using the Craigslist method of targeting out of state buyers and "shipping the car once the money is in escrow"?

not sure since they are advertising themselves as a real dealer.

I did a little bit of search on the address provided. It showed that the dealership is called Big Dog Autos in del mar, CA. from the looks of it, they sell hand end used car. Not sure if it's good. I won't wanna put my hopes up.
