| Is this scam? looking to buy car in Manitoba
I have been looking around to purchase one of the following cars... RX7, supra turbo, integra type S. So I found this supra in Manitoba and the people selling said to offer them a price. I asked how much are you asking for, and he respondes.

Is this legit? I never used Ebay so I'm not sure. Let me know what you guys think.
here are pictures of the car: http://s1008.photobucket.com/albums/...toyota93supra/ |

1,000,000,000,000% scam.
Plates? VIN? Registration? Existing Ebay listing? Don't bother.

Scam. Pictures have no license plates for one, and since when do we use titles in Canada?

I see they will ship the car free of charge and you don't pay until after you're happy with it.
umm...Only thing I can say is "if it seems too good to be true it probably is."That email chatter also makes me wonder if you actually ever initiated with them or they discovered you were looking for a car and are baiting you.
RUN......

In case you suffer from retardation of the eyes, the massively huge disclaimer on Craigslist about ALL OFFERS TO SHIP CARS ARE 100% FRAUDELENT is true. I suggest you punish yourself for ignoring this..
