This would be my guess as well. The frame alone is worth $17,000.

I saw that ad yesterday and sent a message asking when and where I could come see it. Below is the reply.


Hello,
I have received your email regarding my car. The car is in perfect condition with no scratches, or damages. The price for the car includes shipping charges. I have retired and moved to another country (Sweden). I made a big mistake not selling my car in United States. Now I have to pay some big fees to register the car here. It comes with the manuals and the original documents. The shipping will be done by Lufthansa Air Cargo and will take 6-7 business days. I have to let you know that I want a fast deal, so if you are really interested in buying my car please email me with the following information:
-Your full name;
-Your shipping address;
-Your home or cell phone #;
I need your information because I want to start the transaction at an escrow company based in United States (Craigslist Ltd) for this deal because I have $20000 deposit on Craigslist database for buyer protection and I will start the deal in a private case where you and I are fully protected.
I will look forward to your email, so that we can move forward with this deal and inform Craigslist so they can send you the invoice.
Regards!

That's the way all the eBay scams start. They must be moving onto Craig's list now no one there to regulate them.

Good. Craigslist is the bottom of the barrel and scam haven.Be careful buying anything from there unless you can get it in person. More people get scammed and robbed from there than any place Ive ever seen . Never been ripped off by a pimp though.

It's interesting... I have successfully gotten one job (and it wasn't the blow variety) and a Jeep from Craig's list.

As with anything, it's caveat emptor...
