the first one is $3k down. the second one is probably a typo, it says financing available.
who will need to finance 1999.

Not sure, but at that price I dont think you could go wrong unless something is hidden

If it's too good to be true there's something wrong there somewhere.

Do you really think you can buy these for either 2k or 3k?
It's a deposit and/or scam.
Pick up the phone, it's toll free.

It's all a deposit and a scam to get you in the door.

thanks guys

I dunno what's worse really:
the fact that you can't read,
the fact that you think you can buy a c5 for $3000
or the fact that someone is going to sell you a c5 for $2000

I guess the Mods are on lunch still?

I don't know why people call when they are listed like that, if something seems too good to be true, it is.
