While browsing the Craigslist ads I came across what appears to be a nice 02 Z06 judging from the pics. Not much info given about the car and only 2 pictures but seller says it has 29K miles and in "good" condition. Of course we would love to know more about the car but man this would be one heck of a deal for someone if everything checked out fine. What you guys think?

Craigslist is full of fraud, but you never know. For $12k if you live close to New Orleans it'd sure be worth a look!

Yes you never know what you gonna get with CL. Def work a look a though, I live about an hour away if I had the time I'd check it out just for the hell of it even though I'm not looking to buy.

I bet it's fake or has salvage or flood history. The ad says txt for more pics but no phone number???

If it's real it must be a swimmer (flood car)

Too good to be true....

Don't bring cash when you go look at it.

That car is posted all over Craigslist, one ad even says it has a sunroof

Does seem very fishy to me - no way that car should be worth only $12K unless there are some major problems with it - like a flood car.

It's a scam, it's listed in many different cities across America , I emailed them, they replied with the typical scammer email

Well there you go, just as we expected.

CQRT

Being near New Orleans, it could certainly be an undeclared flood car that had damage not claimed with insurance and accordingly, not a branded title.

If it's really a good car- it should already be sold.

if it's still available, you've got to figure that a number of smart people have already looked and passed for good reason.

EDIT: just read the last couple posts . . . .if it looks too good to be true . . ..

I can tell just by looking at the pic/add it's bs. Go ahead and email him Ill bet that you get the "i'm out of town blah blah blah"

Here's the response I got:

As I told you in my first email, I recently got divorced and I got a new job and just moved to Baton Rouge, LA for a fresh start, I'm from New Jersey. The car is already at the shipping company in Vineland, NJ sealed and ready for the shipping. My presence won't be necessary because I prearranged the deal with eBay. All you have to pay is $12,000, the car will be delivered at your address in 5 days and you will have it for 5 days so you can inspect it. Once you have the car inspected and decided to keep it, you will confirm your decision to eBay and only then they will re-route the money in to my account, but if by any reason, you won't be satisfied with the car you can return it back for a full refund of your money. I will take care of the shipping back, don't worry, but I'm sure you'll love it at first sight. You will receive the car with all the necessary papers notarized by a legal attorney to pass under your name (clear title, bill of sale, user’s manual, insurance etc).

"My presence won't be necessary", LOL! Classic!

A good rule of thumb: Only do business face to face.

JR-01

lol Someone should notify the authorities, they could set up a sting and put this guy behind bars.

Chicago1

Tell them you have a friend that works at the shipping company and you wanna see it. Time to mess with them now.

jpm995

this has fraud written all over it.

I doubt it. They are most likely in west Africa or somewhere else where they can't be touched.

Free shipping, free returns and even includes insurance. All while selling the car for 50% of market value. What a deal

garline14

Sounds legit!! Lol
But seriously how can anyone fall for something like this? Its messed that people do things like this but hey it happens.
