he found it off craigs list and the guy said he's moving to sweden really soon so he needs to sell everything and he's selling it for $6,000. sounds fishy to me. but he's checking out the car soon. but if it is legit. that's a steal...

and i'm pretty mad right now. when i got off work and took the stupid metro bus home since there's no parking in downtown. my freaking parents took my car out... i was stuck at home all day since they didn't leave a key to any of the 3 cars in the driveway. stupid parents.

 

should have give me a call, I would have come by and drive you to where-ever

 

hahaha...that sucks. Anyways, the deal does sound kind of fishy. Is the guy local?

 

if the guy is local then thats awesome. I jus hope their no salvage title. I suggest ur friend checks the vin # first at carfax.com!

 

Hey yesterday called and they want their guy that was born yesterday back.

Are you guys that niave? This is one of the oldest scams on the internet. Go wire that guy some money and cry about your money being lost.

 

if it sounds too good to be true....it probably is.

 

The best part was when he said he was moving to Sweden, because after all there aren't any roads in Sweden for him to drive on.

 

DONT DO IT!!! I looked into an 03 s2k that was 5K. The guy said the same thing. The I found the car on ebay for about 17k. I emailed the guy on ebay and he said that it was not listed on yahoo autos and if it was on there it was a scam. The vin numbers matched too. There are a lot of people trying to get you to send them money and youll get no car. Be careful. They had an 03 Viper convertible for 13000, come on now.

 

and this is why the scam works.....people still dont see it.

see it, drive it, check it, then buy it. money goes last!

 

I had the same thing happen. Saw and 03 for $9000 listed in Ponca City, OK and got the VIN and when I searched it on google I found a similar listing for the same car in Maryland for $11,000. Got in touch w/ Autotrader.com and they identified as a scam. People go onto the net and swipe pics of cars and make fake listings to get some idiot to put 1/2 or so down then make off with your $$. Good luck!

 

Dont beat yourself up over a scam. The typical format is for someone to get a valid vin from an honest listing. They spin a story about having to move in or out of a country (usually they are already out of the country looking to liquidate some assets, Thats always why its so cheap). After hearing the BS story about too much to get registered in the U.S you are focused on the good deal and not the scam. The scam starts when they need you to wire them money in whatever form, deposit or whatever, once they receive the money , you never hear from them again. And if you sent them money, you deserve to lose it. Dont be a fool

 

Be carefull, I've lost my "deposits" as the scammer's call them

 

it's a local guy from like 15 miles away from here. my friend is meeting him up to check out the car. he thinks it's a scam but why not spend a little time and check it out. he might get lucky. (like one in a million)

 

Scam!

 

^^It's actually your parents. They planning to sell your Z for 6000 minus the Hello Kitty Headrests.

Are you sure it's not $16k?

 

yea common sence who would really see an add like that w/o physicaly looking/ driving the car??? espically for 6g!

Thats like cardboard sign holding beggers, if the females (ive NEvER seen a male give..) who give them $ watched the investigative news report they would now they are fakes..

where i live.. im not b/s' ing you... i seen these "poor" beagars wearing tommy jackets, pants, decent shoes, died hair (that costs), i saw a few using there poor pets and kids!!!

I think ill pull up in my Z across from him with sad face, and hold a sign that says "need GAS money, Please help god bless" i bet i would get some originality $$

 

Scam 100% Wishful thinking and a waste of time to go check out the car

 

Is the car in sweden right now and he's going to ship it over via air?

Sounds like a typical scammmm....
