    As everyone has said this is a scam that is going around ebay and other classifieds. You will be linked to a fake webpage, pay money, and never see anything for it.

    this is a common scam, i see it all the time on craigslist.

    think about it. he could wholesale the car to a dealer on the spot for more than that. why would he wasted his time going to all this work?

    "Scam" or "flood car" or "salvage title vehicle" ... CarMax will pay them more than that.

    I have seen a ton of scams for cars on craigslist. My buddy was lookin for a new car and found a 2008 Toyota Corolla with 8K miles on it for $2,500. The lady wanted the sale to go through ebay. What a f-ing idiot doesn't even know how her own scam works. She took some pictures and said she was in Chicago. The pictures showed the car in a container on a freighter. Just ridiculous....

    Two friends of mine got scammed like this while we were deployed to Iraq. One of them thought he bought a Tacoma at a wicked good price, the other a Mitsubishi 3000GT. Neither one ever saw a penny of their money after they sent it off and the people disappeared. Common sense, if it seems too good to be true, it is. FWIW, one lost about $5k, the other $4k.
