    you are not answering questions, from the way you are talking you have this truck in your possession already, or..

    you are lacking in actual information, get real...do you have the truck now in your possession?

    What the H, do you have it or not? Any idiot would jump on that just based on the clean pictures.....

    It has been clear from the beginning that I do not have the truck yet. Hence why I asked--IN THE FIRST POST--if I should buy it or not. What questions have I not answered? I have given everyone all of the information I have from the seller thus far.

    The truck is at a central distribution center and will be shipped to me if I decide to go forth with the purchase. I will have a 5 day grace period where I can have it inspected. If I chose not to I can send it back. I have decided to put the money down and will receive it in the next few days and can go from there.

    It's simple really. If this is for real, then log the fuck off of TW, grab your car keys and go buy it NOW.

    The fact that you're still on here posting instead of taking money out of your mattress and driving to see the seller is what makes everyone absolutely flippin' sure that you're yanking our collective chain.

    That and the weird poll you attached to the original post.

    Over and out.

    Right on, I lived in Portland! TBH it is where my fascination with the Tacoma originated. It was tough trying to keep up with my friends who had Taco's in my Patriot.

    Ah. It's a scam. You're being played. Do NOT send money to anonymous people on the internet with believable hard-luck stories and unbelievably low prices attached to beautiful vehicles. Walk away. Sorry for the false hopes.

    It's not simple, really. The car is located in Oklahoma, but will be shipped to me for inspection. So I can't just go and see it. The whole purpose of me starting this thread was to see if it was even a good idea to put money down for the car in the first place.

    As do I. I went nuts when I saw this post. Still don't believe it is true, like most of the people here. But, we will all have an answer in a few days as to the legitimacy of this prospect.

    What the fuck.

    Seriously bro?

    What a waste of time.

    You're the 100000th person to fall into a deal like this, and if you'd made this info known up front then you wouldn't have wasted everybody's time.

    You may find the following link from craiglist about auto scams helpful. Keep reading, some of the stuff is plain, then some of it appears to apply only to sellers, but they talk about how buyers get scammed also.

    You know what else is too good to be true? This thread.

    BTW, OP, I just got a call from the Sultan of Paraguay and your brother has wen arrested. If you give me $10,000 I can arrange for his immediate release.

    Let me know in 5 minutes.

    What form of payment did you send, if a CC, then you have recourse, if it is a money transfer, wire transfer or Western Union thing, OMG

    To everyone,

    This is a scam. Just read eBay's terms of service, which confirmed it. I am a bit embarrassed, but thankful for those of you that pointed this out. Glad I went on TW in the first place. Will report this immediately. Sorry for wasting your time.

    Best,
    V

    I'm voting with the guys, it's a scam. If it was in town, then possibly not. But to have to have it shipped in, scam!!!

    Luckily I haven't paid anything yet, so I didn't lose anything.
