Too good to be true.

I've read this article several times and the price just doesn't make sense to me. I'm in no position to buy this vehicle, but hopefully one of you can benefit from this.

yeah, something's up. I wouldn't even waste my time looking into it.

Call these people to find out if/how their cruiser is for sale at $10k less than what they were originally asking.

I was hoping the scams would stay on Ebay, but Autotrader's getting hit too. Friend of mine listed his built LX on Ebay, it didn't sell, it's on Autotrader now, Ebay description in the ad, for about $10k less.

Salvo,

Dont waste your time with that seller, it is 100% a scam. They recently posted that in the So Cal autotrader and wanted to use the "Ebay Vehicle Protection Program" I corresponded with the seller through email and he didnt even want me to see the vehicle, Just wanted me to transfer him money. He sent me the exact same pictures. Stay away from that.

These guys are getting crafty!! You can report it as fraud to Autotrader at the bottom of this article.

My Dad came across a screaming deal on Yahoo Autos, but sent it my way first. I "googled" some key words from the seller's reply, and found a warning from Yahoo about scams which showed the exact email the lady sent my Dad.

This kind of crap really sucks
