Another Scammer on Craigslist
SO I was on CRAIGSLIST searching for a used M3, and saw one for 20K, local no accident and cheap!! Here is the reply i got when i inquired

Hello,

The car is in perfect working condition, it doesn't have any dents, chips or scratches and the interior is like new, it is a non smoker car. All the maintenance has been done on a regular basis. It's accident-free and has a clean and clear title. The total price that I 'm asking for the car including shipping to your door is $20,300.00. I am selling it because I've moved back to Spain after my divorce and importing it here is not an option because of the high taxes involved. The car is currently in Halifax in custody of a shipping company, ready to be delivered to its new owner.
I would like to use eBay Vehicle Protection Program a third party service to handle this transaction for our own safetyt.

If you are still interested just send me your full name and shipping address, phone# and I will open a case at eBay.

Thank you,
Maria

you listed a M3 for sale thought, this is not. HOwever the price justify's it, seems like a good deal. Is this canadian or us import?
Plus diesel was never offered in Canada, i really want the car, but just making sure it uses gasoline and not diesel.

thanks for the heads up and the thread.

Without this heads up, and without this thread, Maria would have had more victims to her name.

Hahaha that wasn't as good as of a deal i found....

I was looking for an acura tl earlier this year and i found one for 12000 with 20k's on it. No accidents and on top of that it was a typeS, same story and i just screwed around with the person saying i was interested but i wasn't.

good luck finding one though, i found an 2002 325ci for 16thousand though, so i was lucky i found a good deal, no accidents.

good luck on youre car search though.

anyone who misses that and needs RS to tell them deserves to get ripped off...

You'd be surprised. I've already stopped 2 people from buying one of these scams, and they had totally no clue it was a scammer.
They both went to me asking what I thought about the car and if they should buy it since it was such a good deal.
I just straight up said "NO, it's a scammer"
Both mentioned the "eBay Vehicle Protection Program", I think thats what gets people thinking they're secure.

^I can vouch for that. She was once in the therapeutic services section of Craigslist. I saw her ad, met up with her. She's fantastic at what she does and is a good person. She did an awesome job servicing me.
