Resolved Question: Is this a possible scam?

17 July 2010, 5:55 pm

I'm trying to buy this car online. I found it on Craigslist and I saw some pictures of it. It's a NICE I mean REALLY NICE car and he's selling it dirt cheap. This car has to be worth at least 20,000 and he's selling it under 10 grand. I emailed him for more info and he sent me this back.... "My car is in great shape, no engine problems, damages or hidden defects. It was always garaged and never smoked in.It has no scratches or any kind of damage. I'm a pilot on cargo flights. My wife broke up with me recently because I'm always away from home. We just sold our house and split the money. This is the last thing I need to sell and split the money with her. Because I'm away most of the time I will not be able to deal in person But I've already arranged the shipping and the title transfer anywhere in the US. At this point I am in Calgary, Canada at my parents due to my father's situation, he's going through a hard time with his illness. The car is located in Helena, Montana, if you want to buy it. Also i can ship you the car for free anywhere in USA.I will have the car shipped from Helena by DAS (the car has been crated and is ready for shipping because the loan of my previous buyer didn't get approved) so there won't be any additional shipping costs. Full price is $2,900, shipping included, and all the documents will be provided along with it.The car will arrive at your door in 4-5 days.I want the payment to be handled by eBay Financial Department. They will keep the money until you will receive and inspect the car. You will have 10 days of inspection period. If the car is not like described you will have to ship it back on my expense and they will give you a full refund. This way, you will be able to inspect the vehicle before committing to buy it and I know that you have the money and you aren't just fooling around. I want to tell you that I do not sell my car in payments and I do not trade. Giving the nature of this transaction please note that my sale terms are final and nonnegotiable. In order to move forward I will need your full name, address and phone number so i can register the deal at eBay Financial Department.After that eBay will send you the payment instruction." Does this sound sketchy? I've never done anything on ebay so I can't tell if this is right or not. Any input? Sorry this was long...... Read More »
