While looking for a better daily driver than my F150, I came across this:

2004 Acura TL

Suspect its a scam based upon the price (KBB is ~$15K) and lack of specific info. There is also some weird text right above the photos. More and more, CL is becoming just a waste of time.

Awesome! I also found this car for only $3600!!!

Seriously, Folks?

We recently found a great, honest used car on CL but only after wading through these scams for several hours a day for a month. I think every one of them had an email address with a woman's name in the format firstname.lastnameXXX@domain.com (XXX being a number).

We found the car, but there's got to be a better way.

If you don't buy it...I will.

I think they forgot a ZERO. I just sold my old iPhone on craigslist for $350 Cash. I met the guy locally and exchanged money for phone. This is more than my new one cost. When I asked the guy what he was going to do with it he said "sell it to my Russian hook-up for $450" Aparently his hook-up sells it to his connection in Russia for way more.

Sorry, Doggg. I already Western Unioned the money. The owner is supposed to ship the car to me immediately as soon as he/she gets a minute while on business in Europe. I can't wait!

I'm thinking of buying lots of these cars and then flipping them for a profit.

Darn...looks like a perfectly good deal to me

Dear Linda;

I look with enthusiasm at the prospecting of buying your car. However, I have a rather large sums of cashes tied up in my real-estate ventures. Therefore, I would like to propose that I sent you the deed to one of my properties, valued at $250,000 Cayman US dollars in 2007 2006 2005, in exchange for the car.

Once the car has been shipped and I inspect it, then you are free to likuidate the property for whatever suites you. Bye the way, there is a non returnable bank fee of $4,000 for processing the transfar, and that bank only accepts Western Union cheks (you know how un-trusting those banks are), so you woulde have to pay that fee to me before you culd likquidate the propertie.

But you chose not to likudate you woulde be gettin a house in the US, and I think you culd get citisenship papers easer if you were a propertie owner. The propertie is located at 9764 Jeopardy Lane, Chicago, IL 705 Hauser St, New York, NY 1020 Palm Dr, Coca Beach, FL 9114 South Central, Los Angeles, CA
