scam for sure

I would not default to that assumption......Standard cab is not popular at all, maybe it has a rotten frame, maybe someone died and they just want to get it gone. Could be a number of legitimate reasons.

Definitely a scam...picture is from an eBay ad where the truck was listed for $7,500.

88k Original Miles: 1985 Toyota Hilux 4×4 Pickup

This 1985 Toyota Hilux Pickup is no trailer queen, but it has still led a life characterized by careful ownership. This is a clean and tidy example of an iconic Japanese pickup, and with a mere 88,362 miles on its odometer, it should have plenty to give to its next owner. The Hilux is located...

Yeah pretty much - or they just get your e-mail and start spamming the s*** outta you.

Makes me wonder why all those weird numbers call me but hang up when I answer. Some people man.

Yeah I don't jump straight to a scam, but I spend way too much time on craigslist and fancy myself as a bit of an expert. Couple giveaways for me are single picture, minimal description, listing in auto parts (skirting the $5 fee to list a car (not uncommon by legitimate sellers, but something to watch for)), no mention of any substantive details on the car (trans, engine, anything more than "synthetic oil," and some generic lingo). But the biggest giveaway to me is how the contact is setup. There is no contact info besides the email address. Typically if someone goes the email only route, they let it go through craigslist emails and if they do the "no dropdown contact" option, they list a phone number. I'm not saying these are hard and fast rules, but definitely something to consider. Feel free to email the seller but don't be surprised if they want you to send them a deposit to hold the truck or just go ahead and pay the price because "a few people are on the way, but I'll hold it if you go ahead and buy it."

Scam. I saw it in GA too.

 

[dodored]

Saw it in Florida CL too, so every time I see that ad I flag it for deletion. I hate scammers!

 

[Jeremy9A]

Can you delete or mark sold?

 

[dodored]

You can delete the ad simply by clicking on "Flag" in the upper right corner. It's Craigslist's way of policing the site with the help of the users. When you click Flag it automatically deletes the ad with no notification to the person that put the ad up. It just goes away.
