    found this 2001 Tacoma TRD while browsing autotrader today. looks like an awesome truck but its shown with Colorado plates and snowy weather, but listed in middle ga. we got snow this year but not that much. if its not a scam someone better snatch this up quick!

    Its very cheap for the miles???? Kinda sketchy. I have read about scams that happen over the internet like this. I about bout a car that was supposedly in a warehouse in Oregon and would ship to me and I would have ten days to scope it over and make a decision, but I had to prepay first though. What was crazy was it was 2003 Honda Accord for only $2300. Kinda crazy. Do some research and see if you can see it in person first.

    Usually when something seems too good to be true on the internet, it is.

    Only thing is that it's on autotrader and not craigslist. I would def check it out, but be VERY skeptical

    I would think autotrader would be a little safer. The deal I saw was on craigslist, and I figured it was too good to be true. Do some research and be sure before you lose a couple bucks.
