The owner has a sick child that needs immediate surgery. Are you going to be responsible for his death?

It's a scam, email him and then run a trace route on his IP. I bet it comes from VA. There have been two other Nismo Z's listed from the Chicago land area, just like this one. When you contact them to see it in person (I live in chicago) they will tell you they have moved to another state (last time I spoke with him he claimed to live and work in LA now)... Funny because his emails come from VA. Anyway he will want to use an internet escrow service, don't do it these sites are part of the scam.

You can Google "how to trace an email" if you don't know how

I saw this same ad listed on autotrader for a Z in Houston.

Looked suspicious to me, so I googled the listing phone # and found this thread. I've been looking to buy a Z and this got me excited..lol

thats the point. its priced too good, but not so low that you would automatically dismiss it as a scam. no info and just a number to call .. oh well. people fall for it or the scammers wouldn't be trying
