Default Is this autotrader add BS

I saw this add in the latest autotrader that just came out and I was interested in the car so I emailed the person and got no answer, then I sent the seller a text message, still no response. Tonight I called the number and the number is not in use. WTF?

Didnt you or someone else post this somewhere else here on s2ki?

Also according to KBB a regular C4 goes for around 32-34k so with the Techart being body kit and what not 30k for a quick sale price is reasonable

lol...here is the email I finally got from this scamming piece of s**t
The car pics are nice though! I wish it was for real

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Hello,
Sorry for this late reply but I was unable to check my e-mail until now, also I have been overwhelmed by the number of emails I got from interested buyers after listing the car on Autotrader, Yahoo! Autos and Cars.com .
This baby is like new, there is a reason for selling it for such a low price but it's just something personal that has nothing to do with the car's condition, no damages, accidents or any kind of
problems.
Right now I'm preparing to leave US because my brother had a car accident few days ago in Canada. I have nobody that could help me with the sale while I'm gonne so I've left the car at the Yahoo Autos Depot which is located in Philadelphia, PA.
I know you can't buy a car just by looking at pictures that's why I've decided to use Yahoo's services. They will deliver the car to you for a test drive, they will help you with the title
registration (if needed) and they will take care of the payment all on my expense.
If you are still interested please go to autos.yahoo.com and click the sign up link in order to register (Activate your e-mail account too) then get back to me with you user id so I can contact Yahoo and ask them to provide you the details about the transaction process.


Thanks,
Adam

Total scam...I got a similar email the other day regarding a new plasma tv I saw on Craigslist...Only difference, that guy claimed he had a family emergency in London so conveniently he wasn't here...All I had to do was send the payment to his fake escrow service and the tv would magically be delivered within two days free...Yeah..Sure! There is so much scamming going on with the internet check out everything twice before parting with a dime...
