I ran an ad in Autotrader a couple of years ago, they will wear you out trying to send you a check.
BEWARE, the checks are BAD!!!!!!!!!! Old scam, they will come get your car, and leave you with a bum cashiers check. I just told them to wire the money to my bank and never heard from them again!

A year or so ago I was looking to buy a 69 Mustang and someone wanted to sell one to me that was in Germany. It was about 25% of the price it should have been and all I had to do was ship it over here...umm yeah
