Oh I'm sure there's something definitely wrong.

Total scam, always. I can spot those from 10 miles away. Notice how they never show the license plate, for example?

Scam for sure - no way the price could ever be accurate unless it was wrecked major or flooded.

Sounds too good to be true + no phone number listed = scam!

Craigslist is prone for scams, If it's too good to be true it probably is. I looked into a couple of GS's and the guys were always overseas. They wanted a deposit of a couple of thousand to have the car delivered and me test drive it. Beware when ever anyone is using an escrow company for the transaction. Most of the time it's a fake company. I had some guy the wanted to use a "special feature" of ebay to sell without and auction. Anyways if the ad is local the car should be within driving distance from you. Otherwise be weary about the transaction process.
