I eMailed him because I thought it was a Scam!

Here the answer!




-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Good day sir,

I must tell you that we are in a business trip in the UK for the next two
weeks,and it's impossible gor me to show you the car these days.As I already
have another 3 offers for this vehicle,I must ask a formal deposit because I
want to avoid a waste of time at the end.So who will deposit $2000
first,will buy the car.Please let me know if you are interested and we can
work something out.The car is located in Albany NY for the moment.

You asked
about the traction control system...the answer is yes,it has the TCS.


Have a great day.

Yeah, good find. THese scams are everywhere. They're all over autotrader too. The rule of thumb remains, if you can't go see it in person, it probably doesn't exist.

Actually the FBI thing could be good! I've literally got a dozen guys like that... check this dialogue out:


--------------------------------------------
You didn`t get the idea ?
i can`t be sure i`ll find you there , and i don`t want to spend money to send
the car right like this .
send me even 150US$ , and after i`ll have them , i`ll send the car to the
sender`s mailling address.
is this ok?
