Rogue Leader · 03-18-2011, 10:25 AM

Either a mistake, hes desperate, or an idiot.

Zabo · 03-18-2011, 10:28 AM

Wouldn't hurt to try.. probably trying to unload it and have someone take over payments.

mfr1950 · 03-18-2011, 10:32 AM

Gotta be wrong, thats $10,000.00 or more too low...

Dznts · 03-18-2011, 10:34 AM

yah this has to be wrong, but i am almost tempted to call the guy and ask. hell it would be worth buying and then reselling.

1BADLS3 · 03-18-2011, 10:42 AM

check the title status first. Could be a rebuild.

crewxp · 03-18-2011, 10:45 AM

Looks like he has 11k left to pay off. Wants to get 20 and have someone take over the lien

This warning is also in the ad. If you want to buy it, send the seller $500 via Western Union to hold the car for you. If 100 people do this, the seller just made $50,000. This car does not exist.

Advice for Buyers

Avoid ads that are "too good to be true." Ads for popular sports cars and SUVs priced at half of what they're worth are almost always lures used by scam artists. Use our Kelley Blue Book Used-Car Value lookup tool and see what a vehicle is worth before responding.
Exercise extreme caution before wiring deposits or payments using Western Union or MoneyGram, especially to foreign countries. Sending money in any form overseas will likely result in losing all of it. Western Union and MoneyGram are very popular for Internet scams because the funds are available instantly, untraceably and worldwide. See the More Resources section below for more information.
Always see the car in person. Better yet, have a professional mechanic inspect it before you give the seller any deposit or payment. Under no circumstances should you do business with an overseas seller unless you have personally verified their identity and that they actually own the vehicle advertised. Be especially wary of sellers that only want to communicate via e-mail or claim they cannot talk on the phone.
Learn about a vehicle's history. Request a copy of the vehicle's title and consider purchasing a vehicle history report such as those offered by Carfax. It can be indicative of fraud if the seller is unable or unwilling to provide a copy of the title or is unable or unwilling to provide the vehicle's vehicle identification number.
Scan any attachments from sellers with anti-virus software before opening. One of the latest scams involves a "seller" e-mailing an unsuspecting buyer additional photos of the item for sale. However, one or more of the e-mail attachments contains a virus that can fool your Web browser to make it appear as though you're going to a legitimate site but in fact are being sent to a site controlled by the scammer.

The best way to protect yourself is by using commercial anti-virus software, keeping it up to date and by scanning all e-mail attachments before opening or double-clicking them. Commercial Web-based e-mail services such as Yahoo! Mail and Hotmail provide virus-scanning services free of charge.

To Report Suspicious Activity

If someone attempts to pull any of these scams on you:

Cease all communications with the person. You do not have to give an explanation though you can simply say you are no longer interested.
Promptly report any suspicious activity, e-mails, or Websites to cars.com using the Contact Us page.
You may also file a report with the Internet Fraud Complaint Center.
If you feel you have been the victim of fraud, you should take any steps to cancel or reverse a transaction or stop payment and you should promptly report this activity to local law enforcement authorities.

...

Nowhere in the ad does it say to wire $500, the ad looks legit, and there is a phone number in the same area as the car is listed.

Its not a scam, but likely a typo, a desperate person, or something else. Anyone wanna call the guy and ask?

Scrapppy666 · 03-18-2011, 12:23 PM

my guess is $20k, then take over lien of probably 12-15k..... car has ~$1000 or more of mods already as well

2011 5.0 · 03-18-2011, 12:24 PM

Probably totaled it. Or either there is some significant damage previously like a bent or cracked frame.
