yep, scam I found a couple on there when I was looking. You email them, they then send an email from a different email than you sent the 1st email too. The emails change everytime and their location is always way to far for you to drive and look at it, but they will ship it to you for cheap. Watch I will send an email to this one and post up what they say.

Here is what I sent:

"Wow, I am really interested in your car. Does it have a clean title? Where in Dayton are you located, I am in Toledo and would like to maybe take a look at it".

Here is the response that I got, way to answer my question

Hello,

Thank you for your interest about my car. Sorry for the delayed response, but I'm in Glasgow (Scotland) right now and I have been very busy. The total price of the 2005 Honda S2000 is $8,700.00USD . THIS IS MY LAST PRICE. I'll not negociate the price. The car is registered and located in United States. I want to keep the car for me, but I cannot register it here, as it is made for the USA market, according to US standards. So, I decided to sell it.
A few words about the car:
-2005 Honda S2000
-Mileage: 20,800
-Title is clean.
-Engine: 4 Cylinder
-Exterior: Silver
-Interior: Black
-VIN#JHMAP21465S008501
The car is like new, in perfect conditions, accident free, no scratches, no special marks, no need for additional repairs what so ever. A genuine road runner ready to be yours, but only if you shall understand and you won't make me loose time as it has already happened to me.
If you have any question please don't hesitate to reply.
