shady car for sale on craigslist

http://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/bn...773563279.html

take a look at this 2003 cl for 2,800 wow?... the weird thing is the other day i saw a 95 supra with 50-60k miles for the exact same price 2,800... and the exact same car info set up the exact same way as this craigslist link above.. the supra post on craigslist is gone now, i thought someone bought it... but the supra post did have a paragraph about why hes selling it(above link doesnt), it said the reason hes sellin it is because he just had a kid and needs bigger car and what not... but now i found this exact same post but different car, wow thats kinda scary.. is this legit? or some type of scam

no clue what those are, they have them on buysell as well. a bunch of 2005+ luxury cars for $7800. has a number and it's always a fax line. there's like 30 of them. Not sure how those ppl are benefiting from the public calling a fax line.

Instead of posting on Revscene, why not try e-mailing the guy to see how he responds?

probably a setup where the potential buyer is so psyched to see this for 2800, immediately takes cash and meets the "seller"

then gets jacked up out of his 2800

Just a spammer/scammer, as poster said above there's a bunch of these ads on buysell.com

They'll just respond to you saying they are out of town and to send money and all this other crap, you guys know the drill.

the only way you can tell if it's legit is to email him and see if he'll ask you to mail him the money via western union and he'll have it delivered to you from nigeria. his daughter just got married so he's buying her a new car and doesn't need this one anymore.
he'll even pay for shipping the car over.

It's probably ICBC posting fake ads so they can screw some unsuspecting customer out of a fair settlement.

fax line records the number, then they use it to call you back with those scam offers?
